Our first time skiing in Bansko and this apartment delivered everything it advertises. It is spacious, beautifully finished, well equipped and allows you to ski / après ski on foot as it is within... more |

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bansko and this was in no small part down to the fantastic apartment at Knights Lodge. The flat was a great size, with balcony, 2 very well fitted bathrooms, 3 large bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen and spacious lounge area in which to unwind at the end of a day's skiing. The apartment was spotlessly clean and a local agent was on hand to meet us once we arrived. Everything in terms of the organisation went absolutely perfectly. The apartment was also very well located; being only a 10 minute walk from the gondola station and less than 5 minutes from one of the main high streets. It's also only a matter of minutes away from by far and away the best restaurant we found during our stay - Food and Wine - which is just up the hill from the apartment towards the gondola. Perhaps the only downside is the lack of spa facilities at Knights Lodge, but many of the hotels accept visitors to use their spas. Prices for this were as low as 15 leva. We would all definitely recommend the apartment to friends and other groups heading to Bansko. It was a fantastic apartment, great value and really enhanced the enjoyment of our holiday. |
