Todora Tower
About the home
This super apartment in Todorini Kuli provides the prime locaton for avid skiers ' just a few metres from the Gondola lift station'. This 3rd floor apartment is tastefully decorated showcasing the unique work of some of the local artisans and has stunning views of the Pirin and Rhodopi mountain ranges. The apartment offers a sanctuary to relax from the slopes with it's cosy log fire but is within easy reach of the apres ski bars, the ice rink and the old town of Bansko with its host of cosy mahenas (tavernas) offering the best freshly cooked meals in Bulgaria at very reasonable prices. The Victoria restaurant, just next door, serves superb Italian dishes with a flavour of Bulgaria . Very good value with excellent service.
Situated opposite the apartment is the elegant 5 star Kempinski Arena Hotel. Like most of the new hotels in Bansko it offers it's leisure facilities to non residents for a local fee. No matter what time of year you choose to stay in Bansko there is always plenty to do and see. Staying so close to the old area means you will experience this amazing town and it's authentic ancient architecture, atmosphere and traditions with historic monuments and museums dating back to the 10th century.
In the next village Dobraniska, three miles away, there is a wonderful spa, the huge pool being fed from hot springs and is a complete surprise hidden away in this really authentic working village.

The Pirin/Rhodope Mountains region


This beautiful alpine region in the south west corner of Bulgaria offers the intrigue of it's ancient town, Bansko, together with the Pirin National Park providing superb winter sports facilities for both novice and expert.
This unique combination will ensure interest for tourists during both winter and summer months. The Ski season is from December until mid April when spring brings a multitude of wild flowers. The summers are short and fairly hot providing a wonderful climate for hiking, cycling and sight seeing of the cultural interests that abound within the area.
For the skiing enthusiast the resort offers more than 65 km of marked ski runs of which the highest is at 2,600m and the longest being 16 km running from the highest peak down to the gondola station on the outskirts of the town. More than half the slopes are covered by snow canons to ensure continuous skiing conditions.
The Bansko area
The ancient town of Bansko is set at the foot of the Pirin Mountain and is bordered by the Pirin, Rila and Rhodopa mountain ranges. It has a warm and captivating atmosphere and gives a unique advantage over other ski resorts, providing not only superb ski facilities at reasonable rates but interesting local culture.
The beauty in this area can be enjoyed during all seasons and offers a variety of activities.
Winter: Skiing, snowboarding, tabogganing
Summer: Hiking,cycling, fishing, horse riding, sight seeing, white water rafting, golf (new course in process of being constructed)
During August a traditional Jazz festival is held in the town, providing a fabulous atmosphere and superb music. There are also many wine tasting and folk festivals in the area, Bulgarian wine is very drinkable partly because of the wonderful flavour and partly because of the price!!

Stayed here for a weeks skiing and can not recommend it enough! The apartment is in a fantastic location, over-looking The Keplinski Hotel and only about 100m from the Gondola. Its great for getting to the Gondola early and also not so far to go after a hard days skiing. The apartment is very nicely furnished and well equipped with all you could want for a weeks stay. The kitchen is more than adequate though we hardly used it as the restaurants are such good value. (check out the Italian a few doors away - fantastic!). There's a real log fire which is lovely to come back to after being on the slopes - see the caretaker for logs for a small fee. The balcony is very spacious with great views of the mountains and the Keplinski. I have stayed at a few apartments in Bansko but this is definitely the best for value and location and we have already booked to go back next year. Just one word of warning - if you have a car make sure you use the car park behind the apartment (see the caretaker for access) - don't park on the road unless you want the car towed away! |
Guestbook for Todora Tower
Feb. 2011 Victoria
The location of the apt was fabulous, so handy for the slopes and the ski locker was a fantastic size.
The apt itself was really well appointed and was lovely and clean and warm on arrival. The furniture was lovely, the apt spacious, well laid out and cosy.
The management co. were welcoming and incredibly helpful.
One minotrpoint, it might be worth putting together a booklet giving details of where wood can be obtained, where the ski locker is etc.
We paid more for the apt than our friends who were staying up the hill but it was worth it for the position so close to the slopes.

We had an enjoyable stay and your apt was lovely. I think Bansko is a great destination for family or budget hols.
Overall, I think you get what you pay for which is fair. I would definately recommend your apt as location was excellent and was very spacious.

We found the apt cosy, well equipped, tastefully decorated and superbly located, primarily for the gondola lift but also for the ice rink and lovely walk to town centre. For families with children and everybody who doesn't want to depend on bus rides it is absolutely ideal. The secure parking is a big plus. Also communication with Bernice was both efficient and pleasant.
We wouldn't think twice about renting this apt again and will recommend it to all our skiing friends.
Bansko is a lovely place which unlike most ski resorts, offers much more than skiing and club entertainment. It has history and charm. Thank you for taking such good care about the guests' satisfaction.

Things were exactly as described and the modern homely feel allowed us to relax in comfort throughout the week. the location was fantastic and although the slopes were really busy we enjoyed a lovely break thanks to your apt. the helpfulness of Balkan PMS and the Victoria restaurant next door.
Best of luck for the future
We are back from a lovely stay in Bansko. We really enjoyed your place and found it so tastefully decorated, wonderfully equipped and such a good location for the Gondola, walks on the river bank and of course into downtown Bansko !!
Good luck with your investment. We will certainly recommend your place to our Israeli and Serbian friends,
All the best,
Jeanette and Artur Koll
We're just back from your WONDERFUL apartment and this is to say a HUGE THANK YOU...we have had the BEST skiing holiday EVER!!! I just loved it over there. It was everything you said and more - cos we had beautiful snow (which meant I could actually ski ok!!) and clear blue skies with warm sunshine everyday...so lucky!
I just loved the people, the food, and the old town - and how cheap it was of course, but also for such good quality tasty food - puts England to shame.
I will be telling everyone about what a wonderful place to go.
Best wishes
Jill
