Property Details

Traditional villa in Varna, Bulgaria. On the shore of Varna bay, (more often referred to as Varna lake), with jetty (pier), and motor boat. Very romantic. The bay is large, spanning many miles upstream, and combines with the Black sea at the other end. Fishing rods supplied, (not fly-fishing). Ideal for fishing, boating, windsurfing, and watersports.

The villa has a lot of character, is only 12 years old, and is comfortable and homely. It was newly decorated and furnished in 2004. It has apricot, hazelnut, apple, cherry, fig, and plum trees, and an outdoor "summer kitchen", and garden furniture, with many chairs and a wooden garden table over 2.5m long, an outdoor oven that can take 2 sheep, and a smaller barbeque. It is under a fig tree, about 8m from the villa, and has one open side.

Very friendly local fishermen are in this area, it is unspoilt and undeveloped. There are absolutely no tourists, or tourist facilities, which all are in the other side of the town. In this area, the donkey or horse and cart are still in use.

Magnificent views of the bay.
There are three small shops within 15 minutes walk. Varna city centre is a 10 minute drive, and has several large open air markets, fish market, cinemas, clubs, and usual tourist facilities. There are buses to the centre and to beaches in Varna (15 mins. ride) and other towns up along the coast. The water temperature is usually 25 - 27 Centigrade in the summer! The villa is in a green protected area, containing reeds and trees.

The lower floor of the villa is for the staff, and has not been re-decorated yet. Although this is a self catering villa, there is a part-time maid provided if required, to help with light cleaning, hoovering etc. There is also usually someone who can help with the boats and any general enquiries. (No extra cost for staff).

The upper floor of the villa has three double bedrooms, (usually king-size double beds), living room, bathroom (containing a bath and shower attachment), hall/reception used as a kitchen, balcony, and external access. One of the bedrooms also has external access, as well as internal access to the living room. Normally sleeps up to 6, please consult if a greater number.

Linen is provided, microwave, fridge freezer, cooker. Small towels (not beach towels) are provided, and there is no air-conditioning, central heating, TV, telephone, or dish washer. The washing machine is downstairs as the maid can deal with any washing of clothes, or you may use the washing machine yourself if preferred.

Housekeeping and linen services are included. Frequency of housekeeping services can be arranged to suit guests' schedule and needs for privacy.

Children welcomed.

We have a small motor boat at the villa, available for your use. All you pay for is the fuel. We can help you, and provide instructions. The boat and motor were purchased new in the year 2004.
Sail boats (usually 'optimist' sailing dinghies) are available at a sailing school around 3 minutes walk up the lane. There is a small charge for a days' hire, (10 Euro)

A single canoe is available (an Idian style canoe that seats 3), free of charge.
We have some fishing nets, (like butterfly nets) of different sizes, and these are a favorite for kids, used to collect all sorts of creatures around the villa, such as different types of sea-horse, groups of small fish, crabs, shrimp, etc. We also have large containers available to put these in and for the kids to examin what they have caught. Also, there is an area at the back of the garden for kids to build a camp fire, (under your supervision), and some small huts to play in.
Horse Riding, available for 2 Euro per hour. Plenty of quiet lanes in the area with very little traffic. Horses in this area are not an unusual site, as many locals own one.
The area around the villa is very secure, as it is mostly frequented by fishermen. The villa has installed a security system with a sensor in every room, (except bathroom), and security guards arrive in a few minutes, if the alarm is set off. Bulgaria is as safe as any other European country. There is probably less crime in general, and less violent crime, but more petty theft due to the severe economic problems in recent years. The country is de-populated, and has little industry, but is recovering. It is one of the cheapest countries. A taxi ride can cost you 2 USD, a cup of coffee and two soft drinks could cost you less than 1 USD.
