Beautiful Bulgaria
The villa is set in the very quiet village of Popgrigorovo, which is situated in the gently rolling hills of the Bulgarian countryside, and yet is 10 minutes drive from Dobrich and 20 minutes drive from Balchik, with the resorts of Albena and Golden sands just few more minutes away. Varna is another 10 minutes along the coastal road from Golden Sands.
The village is a small, sleepy haven for those who want to get away from it all, there is little or no traffic and the only sounds you will hear as you sip your rakia on the balcony are the honking of the geese or the occasional bray of a local donkey.
The Villa
Built in 2005 the villa has everything that you are used to at home, plus a whole lot more. It is light and airy, and has all new modern fixtures and fittings.
The ground floor is open plan with entry to the kitchen area through the side door. The kitchen is fully equipped, it has a washing machine, fridge, freezer, combination grill/microwave, kettle, toaster, hob and oven. There is a full complement of cooking utensils, plus all the crockery and cutlery you need.
The living area has a three piece suite plus pouffe, so up to six people can sit in comfort to watch the tv. There is Bulgarian satellite tv, which has a fair number of English-speaking channels, plus live premiership matches on Saturdays and all the grand prixs. There is also a DVD player with a good selection of contemporary movies on DVD.
The sofa can be converted to a comfortable double bed, allowing a total of eight occupants in the villa.
The dining area has a large pine table and chairs, and as the kitchen is in a galley style, serving up meals is easy.
There are two large doors at the front of the house leading to the patio, swimming pool and barbecue areas, and of course the garden.
The hand-made wrought iron spiral staircase leads to the first floor. There is a large wet room (bathroom) with toilet, hand basin and shower.
There are two twin bedrooms and one double, which has full en suite facilities including shower. All the bedrooms have mirrors and large pine wardrobes, all bed linen and towels are supplied. All three bedrooms have double doors leading to the balcony.
There are two cherry trees nearby and you can easily pick cherries from the trees as you relax on the balcony.
The Grounds
The garden is a huge 4100 square metres (about 1.5 acres) and is situated on a gentle slope, providing panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
The garden has many fruit trees, including apple, cherry, strawberries, raspberries and plums. Last year we made 33 litres of rakia from our plums, there will be a sample waiting for you on arrival!
The swimming pool is 7 metres by 3 metres with a 1.5 metre depth. There is a 1.5 metre tiled surround, giving plenty of room for those all-important sun beds! There is also a stylish metal railing around the pool to keep you and the kids safe, the pool has underwater lighting making it an ideal venue for an evening barbecue.
Country Life
PopGrigorovo is not a resort but a genuine Bulgarian village. Most villagers in Bulgaria have dogs, and on occasion the dogs in the village will all bark in unison. Its not a major problem and it will not spoil your holiday in any way, but we want to make sure that you are aware of this fact.
