It was our 3-rd time in Bansko and I must say that this was the nicest appartment of all - very cosy and very well situated. We appreciated all the music and games - we had fun playing some of the games. We appreciated also the general infos gathered for the guests. Karen (management company) was very nice too. She welcomed us extremely friendly and showed us the apartment." |

"Thanks for a wonderful stay at your apartment last week. Really enjoyed it." Jacyn Heavens, Jan 2012
" I have to tell you that you have a wonderful appartment and I hope you will not sell it, so we can go there again!
It was our 3-rd time in Bansko and I must say that this was the nicest appartment of all - very cosy and very well situated. We appreciated that you have music and games - we had fun playing some of your games (I hope we've put everything back where it was). We appreciated also the general infos you gathered for the guests.
Karen was very nice too. She welcomed us extremly friendly and showed us the appartment." Catalina Ionita (Jan 2011)
"We had an absolutely wonderful time. Everything worked really well and all your tips were used and very helpful. The taxi was on time and driver very pleasant and helpful. Ski hire from Ski Mania was also very good in service and friendliness. The apartment was great, there was everything we could need and we felt very comfortable. Karen was very helpful and on time. The people at the reception desk were nice and friendly too. We used the sauna and hot tub everyday and everything was clean and well kept. Location from the slopes and town was perfect, far enough away from the noise, when we wanted to go to bed, but close enough so that everything was accessable. Overall a wonderful experience and we would definitely think about going back to Bansko again.
Overall we loved every minute and were very satified customers. Thanks for everything." Mandy Hasluck (Feb 2011)
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your apartment over Christmas. The slopes were lovely and quiet and your apartment was so comfortable. It was like home from home. Karen, our contact person, was extremely helpful during our stay! (Anonymous, January 2011)
"We very much enjoyed our stay in your apartment, and our holiday in Bansko. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and had a few nice touches which made it feel homely. It was also good to be able to have a swim and sauna afterwards to ease aching muscles. " Stephen Leckie (March 2009)
"We had a wonderful time in Bansko. The weather was perfect for skiing! Your apartment was comfortable, warm and perfectly situated near the gondola. In the evening, after skiing, we had also used the jacuzzi and the pool and found it very relaxing. We hope that we can come next year too in the same place because we had a really good time here." Anica, Heama and Vlad - Romania (February 2009)
"What a lovely apartment. The kids had a great time watching all the DVDs. Had loads of fun skiing." The Marshall family (February 2009)
"We loved your apartment. It was nice and warm and everything was very close and convenient. We had nice days out to Rila Monastery and Sandanski spa resort." Svetlana, Martin and Freek (Jan 09)
"The apartment is fantastic! We felt as we were at home- well equipped, trendy furnished and close enough to the gondola, the restaurants & bars. In conclusion I need to admit that your apartment is one of the best we have ever stayed at so far ( not only in Bansko). We would happily hire again. To be honest I should tell you that we have already recommended it to all our friends." Boris Dimitrov (January 2009)
"The apartment was warm, comfortable and all the personnel were very helpful. Good skiing as well!" Freek Janmaat (December/January 2009)
