About this property

Winter Chalet fully catered - Pirin Adventures - Bansko - Bulgaria 8-12 people

We run our place as a chalet but its made up of two apartments situated mostly next door to each other, which gives the added advantage of family groups having a certain amount of privacy with a number of mini satellite sitting and kitchenette areas , as well being part of larger group with our communal dinning and seating area.
We also advertise on other competitor sites with which we have reviews.
A group is a minimum of 8 people, it works really well for 10 and we can happy accommodate 12 but no more than this.


I am on-site almost 24/7 and live next door in the apartment where I do the cooking, so I m on hand but not invasive.

* Due to the increased prices of airport transfers we no longer incorpate these in our standard price, we now recommend traventuria, which we use to book at 10 euros each way, but prices have esculted so no longer offer this option but are happy to enquire on your behalf and ask you to pay traventuria or who every you choose, directly. We will happily see if we can still negotiate a better price for you, but this doesnt always happen, depends on the sizes of the groups and flight times etc.
* Car drop off to the gondola station in the morning
* All linen - so Towels, bed sheets, dovet and dovet covers and pillows and cases.
* Food
YOu have a fully catered holiday, except wednesday evening meal or a day you of your choosing, We leave sandwich making out for you that day and breakfast as its our day off.

BREAKFAST-
cereal, apple/orange juice, coffee and tea, toast and concerves, yogurt, sliced fruits.
Eggs of a different type each day. (scrambled, fried, poached, boiled but not omlettes ), I can do waffles and american pancakes too if you let me inadvance.

LUNCH -
There is bread, cheese, chutney etc or a different filling left out each day for you to make your own sandwiches PLUS a sweet treat like flapjack. We suggest you bring a packup box with you. However you can also opt for lunch up the mountain as its very reasonably priced up there too.

AFTERNOON CAKES and refreshments -
Not every group wants this and opt for a slow decent from the gondula sampling the cafes and bars on the way. Just let me know when you arrive, or you change your mind as the week goes on.

EVENING MEALS- 3 courses
STARTERS - soups, pate, mixed meat and veggie patters, stuffed peppers, salads etc
MAINS - Beef and ale pie, Pork Hock, moussaka, Lasagne, chilli, curry, chinease, roast chicken or pork....... served with a mix of winter salads and veggies and potatoes or rice. It varies each day
DESSERTS - peach upside pudding with caramel sauce and custard, chocolate tart, sylabub, homemade ice cream and sorbet, bread nad butter pudding - a real mix

THe meals we can discuss nearer the time of arrival before i leave the UK just incase I need to bring things with me. I try to accomodate groups likes and dislikes of foods too.

I offer a vegetarian or meat option, and if you give me enough notice a vegan option but this is slightly extra as they dont have a lot of the vegan ingredients in Bulgaria.
I tend do a theme each day, so Itialian, Bulgarian, English, and often a seperate menu for the kids if they dont want the adult menu. Deep fried chicken, burgers etc. I adapt the menu within the budget to make your holiday memorable.

95% is pure home cooking, I love to cook for people and I want to make sure you have an enjoyable holiday whilst with us.

Wed is generally rest day for staff, so this is the day you get your own breakfast, we leave you the normal things out for cereal, toast, coffee, tea milk and eggs. You just help yourself and clean up afterwards. We leave things in the fridge for you. DInner choose a restaurant and head out into the evening life of Bansko. Great opportunity for you to try local food.
Our place is private and comfortable It has rustic charm combined with modern facilities. We have comfy beds, separate chill out seating area upstairs in apartment 7 and a mini kitchen with a hob and fridge, some even have a washing machine. If you use these kitchen facilities you are responsible for cleaning these area though,
We run a drop off to the gondola station in the morning, and if you want to be driven up the mountain we use Misho next door who has a ski shuttle business, and charges very competitive rates.
Bedrooms sleep between 2 and 4 people and for an extra fee you can choose to have all people in max 2 to a room, please just ask me.
I also can offer snowshoe tours from beginners as a weeks holiday for a few hours getting used to equipment and terrain - right through to advanced of full days out or over night adventures, so its as easy or as hard as you want play. I do charge for this service as well.
In summer we are a mountain trekking company, winter we operate as a ski chalet or snowshoeing or separate apartments.
Please note after having a few rowdy groups, I need to explain that BG law states no noise after 10pm. THis is to those of you who are really noisy esp after drinking, if you are this place isnt for you. If you are noisy, and I will ask you to be quite nicely, my neighbours can and have called the police, the police are very different in BG than the UK, you can get fined, I can loose my tourist licence and they can remove you from the property. Bulgaria was behind the iron curtain up until 20 years ago and rules are very different here. Please do not upset the neighbours and the police, the system is very different here than the UK.
Summer time is about coming a pre-arranged trekking routes with us, which we organise once we have the first few people booked on and find out thier level of ability and requirements. If a group books this applies to the group organiser and we lease with that person.
Please be sure to let me k ow on VRBO messaging about food allergies or other important issues I should be made aware of such as nut allergies or physical requirements where bed protection is needed when you initially book your trip.

Well looked after in sunny Bansko

Liz was a fantastic host - setting up the two apartments to suit our group of 12 friends and family. She accommodated all our food preferences and timings and worked hard to keep us all happy. Before our trip she answered all our questions. She provided local advice and gave us lifts to pick up our skis each day & to the thermal spa too. Location was perfect - only a short walk from lovely old town and the busy area with bars/restaurants.

A lovely week

Liz was very accommodating with a last minute change of beds, fussy kids and a vegan to cater for. The food was delicious, nutritious and varied. She went out of her way to offer a vegan starter, main and dessert every evening for my daughter. We didn't expect that and it was much appreciated. She asked us at the start of the week about any likes and dislikes and the kids put in their requests too. Fired chicken baked beans etc! The rooms were warm and comfortable and gave us our own privacy but enabled us to meet up for breakfast and the evenings. I think they are extremely well suited for 2 large families or several couples. The drop off at at the ski hire shop in the morning was much appreciated although we chose to walk it sometimes if we fancied a late start. Liz was knowledgeable about the local area. Her tip on which hot spring to go to was spot on and well worth a visit. The gondola in Bansko can get very congested, particularly as we were there over New year. The lift to the top of the mountain was worth doing to avoid the queues. At the time it was a 10 lev charge per peron and liz could arrange this or you can grab a taxi/ minibus from the town. Its also worth knowing that on new years eve you have to pre-book a table in a restaurant as no bars are available to walk-ins until after midnight! All in all a lovely week away staying in Liz's apartment. We had frequent visits from Liz's friendly dog, Riley.......just keep you socks and slippers hidden! 😂

WHAT an AMAZING HOLIDAY

where do I start, I was picked up at the airport and got to meet other people on the trip, we were delivered door to door. We had hot drinks and cakes waiting and dinner. Dropped off every morning at the gondola station and picked up on an afternoon if we wanted. The food was excellent and having the sauna and steam room afterwards was a delight. The accommodation was so comfortable and friendly, clean and it was always nice a warm , we even had a BBQ outside was evening, it was such a delightful week. Thanks for a lovely week Liz.
