The Pirin/Rhodope Mountains region
The mixture of outstanding natural beauty and first class skiing conditions serviced by modern lifts have already made Bansko the premier Bulgarian ski resort. Unlike purpose built ski resorts Bansko is a picturesque town whose history is reflected in the architecture of the old town where there are over 150 listed buildings. On a recent visit, one of the greatest skiers of all time - Alberto Tomba declared Bansko to be the best new resort in Eastern Europe. It is easy to see why. The naturally varied terrain coupled with its other unique attributes will allow Bansko to continue its growth into a truly world class ski resort.
Bansko area
Over the last 5 years Bansko has received over 50million Euros of funding to make it the best Ski resort in Bulgaria - with a new 8 seat Gondola, and 23 other ski lifts queueing is kept to a minimum, and the pistes are exceptionally well maintained. State of the art snow cannons ensure there is good snow coverage whatever the weather!.
Apres ski forms a large part of any ski holiday and the advantages of Bansko are the fantastic home cooked local food together with superb value for money - a must for any family!
How to get there
Travelling to Bansko couldn't be simpler; there are direct flights to Sofia from Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Manchester and more routes are being added all of the time - direct flights operated by British Airways (www.britishairways.com); EasyJet (www.easyjet.com), Wizz Air, and Air Bulgaria (www.air.bg). Lufhansa also offer cheap flights via Germany.
You can also fly into Thessaloniki (Greece) which is about a 3 hour transfer away - see EasyJet from Gatwick
We can arrange transfers from the airport for about £50 each way (for four people) and car hire is also available either from the normal sources or locally (www.rentomobile.com) which is the company we use. Driving to Bansko is relatively easy, and it is about 2.5 hours drive from Sofia airport.
Alternatively taxis are available but be aware of non registered drivers! (again costs should be about £50 each way)

Guestbook for Large Ski apartment for Rent
Tanya - Feb 2009
[The apartment] Beautifully clean thank you, very nicely laid out and was perfect for our holiday. Absolutely great for our needs and was fantastic. Couldn't get either of the TV's to tune into any channel but the DVD worked and there was a great selection of DVDs and books thanks! Excellent selection of necessities supplied as well, thank you so much!
All in all, personally Bansko is a place I would definitely return to plus the apartment was great ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Louise - Jan 2009
The apartment was lovely and served us well on the trip. The kitchen was well stock with everything you could possibly need and the whole place was really spacious. It was close enough to the gondola and thought it compared really well with the other accommodation we saw in Bansko.
Keith, you have been brilliant. All holiday we were singing your praises! All your recommendations and advice on the resort from the ski hire to the ski school made the holiday for us. And you have been really patient in answering all my questions. A great resort, with a good mix of slopes for a week holiday. Saloman ski shop was brilliant, very efficient and friendly. Method were absolutely brilliant and well worth the money. We would definitely use the apartment again and recommend it to others. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris - Dec 2008
"Everything ran perfectly from start to finish thanks very much. The transfers were bang on time both times, and the agent was quick and effcient and getting us installed in the apartment.
The apartment was spot on for our party of six, plenty of space so none of us had to wait for bathrooms etc.
Bankso was a very nice town, a few to many building sites but that cant be helped. I liked having both the old town and the ski areas which really opened up a range of options for eating/drinking out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allison - April 2008
"The apartment was wonderful - we thought we had walked into the Hilton when we arrived! The apartment was very clean, comfortable & spacious. It was more than we had hoped for. The location was fantastic great for the nights we chose to eat out as we were so close to the main square."
"We would definitely go back, one friend is already considering a summer trip. " ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James - March 2008
"What can i say. but Thanks very much for sorting out the apartment and the transfers for us. exceptional..."
"The ski runs were very good some of them very challenging. Just could have done with a little more snow on the second to last day, other than that wicked. Same goes for the lessons with the Method team."
"Thank you Keith for all your assistance and the use of the apartments( can you pass on this info to the owner of the other apartment please). The next time we are in Bansko we would like to give you a call to arrange accommodation once again" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 2007:
"Extremely positive about the apartment (which was fabulous)"
"Very impressed with the interior [of the apartment] - everyone in my party commented that it was the largest (and warmest) ski apartment they had ever stayed in - a far cry from the usual boxes in the Alps."
"I would have no problem with going back to the apartment - it was just what we wanted." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feb 2007:
"Everything went very well. I don't think that there's much that you can do to improve everything. The transfers were good, and the apartment was lovely. As a resort, Bansko was bigger and better than I thought that it would be. Thanks again for a great holiday!" Gareth
