Pirin Residence (apartment)

Home description

A luxurious one-bedroom apartment in a true all-year round resort. In winter, stunning views of the snow-covered mountains and easy access to the ski lifts in Bansko town.

In summer, the views are equally amazing and access to the walking and cycling routes is excellent. Add to that the on-site Spa facility and the Ian Woosnam golf course which is literally across the road.

Equally ideal for a lively, active holiday or for total relaxation.

The Pirin/Rhodope Mountains region

Bansko town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has narrow cobbled streets with stone houses, 120 cultural monuments, museums and permanent ethnographic exhibitions. In the centre is The Holy Trinity church with its 30 m high bell tower and clock, splendid murals and woodcarvings.

In summer hiking, climbing and horse riding are popular. There are well signed routes and hikers' chalets. Mountain bikes can be hired in order to explore this beautiful region. Local companies can organise trips in the mountains e.g. white water rafting, canoeing, paragliding. In summer the town hosts a beer festival, a week long jazz festival, European biathlon championships and other events.

In winter, Bansko hosts a number of events including Europa Cup skiing. The town is in the process of bidding to host the winter Olympics. For après ski the traditional Bansko taverns ("Mehana"), with their exceptional charm and style offer local atmosphere with a combination of local and European cuisine and good selection of Bulgarian wines. Many "Mehanas" offer live folk music. A visit (or two!) to these is a must!

Discos and night clubs are available for the young (and young at heart).

Bansko / Razlog area

Bansko is a lovely town full of history and culture. The people are friendly, welcoming and very hospitable.

The Ski area is excellent for beginners and intermediates. For snowboarders and the more advanced skiers there are challenging off piste areas. The Ulen Ski and Snowboard School or Bansko Sport offer good tuition, particularly for children. Lessons in a group of 2 to 4 people are about 5 EUR (3.50 GBP) per hour.

The Ian Woosnam Pirin Golf Club complex is 100 feet away from the apartment. There are further golf courses near by.

Examples of great days out are a visit to the Rila Monastery for culture, or a visit to the Dobrenishte Spa pool for its beneficial properties.

The cost of living remains very cheap in Bulgaria and your money will go much further here than in skiing resorts in other parts of Europe. (For example - 50 cl beer - £1; Meal for 4 - £20)
