The town of Bansko is located at 925 m. above sea level, and its skiing area is on 2000-2500 m above sea level.
Bansko is the all new Bulgarian ski resort, recently discovered by the foreign skiers and tourists, but well known in Bulgaria. Bansko provides a superb combination of virgin nature of The Pirin mountain with state of the art ski lifts and a well planned ski area, whilst still retaining the atmosphere of the ancient Bulgarian small town. Bansko is not only a resort but also a beautiful historic spot.
Bansko ski resort is situated in South-Western Bulgaria at the foot hills of one of the beautiful Bulgarian mountain Pirin. The Pirin mountain is a natural preserve included in the World Natural Heritage list.
The distance between Sofia and Bansko is 170 km. The nearest International Airport is the one in Sofia. Transfer time from Sofia to Bansko is 2 - 2,5 hours.
The Bansko / Todora Towers area
Bansko is not only a great ski resort, but it is the host of traditional Summer Jazz Festival, Bulgarian Folk Festival and many other cultural events during the summer.
The town itself attracts visitors by its 120 cultural monuments, its museums and the permanent ethnographic exhibitions. A very interesting sight is The Holy Trinity church with its 30 m high bell tower and clock, splendid murals and woodcarvings.
Surrounded by The Pirin, The Rila and The Rhodopa mountains, Bansko is a nice mountain resort with short summer and long winter.
Enjoy the fabulous sceanic walks and beautiful lakes."Moratovo" lake "Valeavishki" lakes & "Popovo" lake.

I think this was a wonderful rental place, affordable and very recommended for everyone. Very close to the gondola, so it's the perfect place to stay in if you're into snow sports. One one drawback.. no wi-fi or internet access.. Response: Thx Alex for booking both apts with us again. With regards Wi-Fi if you sit by the window of both apt's, you can pick up free Wi-Fi from the Kempinski Hotel across the road, and in apt A4, if you sit by the window you can also pick it up from the Victoria Restaurant next door. Enjoy your next visit xx |

Opposite the Kempinski and near to the Gondola. We stayed for a week in May and hired a car to get around. Very good restaurant next door which we used every night. |

GONDOLA APT 4
Had a fantastic holiday in Bansko. The skiing is incredible, no lift queues, beautiful weather and great value for money. The Todora apartments are perfectly located to walk to the ski lift in your ski boots. We found the accommodation exceeded our expectations. The apartment was brand new with quaint personal touches and all the facilities of a home from home. Highly recommended! Many thanks for an amazing holiday!

We had a great time in your apartment and we all thought that it was very homely with all the personal touches you have applied to the decor. It was good to be so near the gondola and the Kempinski serves a mean breakfast. Thanks again for helping us out of a fix. We will definitely recommend you to friends. Colin

GONDOLA APT 5
Sally, Good apt great location, couldn't get much closer to all the amenities inclusive Gondola & 5* hotel-Kempinski-we utilised the spa there for only 30 Lev each - a bargain. Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, place & price!! Look forward to our return. Can highly recommend the Piano Bar about 5 min walk from Apt - pianist/singer Ivan worth braving the elements...

Hi Sally, What can I say?!?! We had a fantastic time at your apartment in Bansko last week, with some brilliant skiing every day. Our trip was delayed by 2 hours in Milan due to a technical problem with the aircraft, but we did arrive at Sofia to be greeted as you said by a bloke with my name on his board. The journey to Bansko was bumpy to say the least - it's a good job that my sister didn't come with us! It was nice to see some build up of snow as we approached the apartment and to be greeted by Toshka who was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was great, with everything that we could need already there. The skiing was excellent with 2 to 4 hours of tuition provided most days by another Toshka. The fact that it snowed very heavily on Friday made it more special for the girls, who naturally enjoyed throwing snowballs everywhere. The apres ski was as you said - very good! The range and type of places to eat and drink was extensive, with the prices only being matched by the hospitality of the locals. The Bulgarians were incredibly polite and helpful - we are now thinking of a summer break somewhere down on the coast - any recommendations? Many thanks again for all your help and assistance with the holiday. It has certainly been one to remember!

We had a wonderful time. We found it colder this year than last year, but more snow which was lovely. The apartment was great. Brilliantly situated, especially when you have got two small children that struggle to carry their skis and poles which invariably leaves me and Phil carrying them. Toshka was very helpful and made everything stress free. . Thank you for all your help.
Kind regards Nicola
