3 bed villa (sleeps 6-8), heated pool, a/c, garden, village location, by sea
Constructed and renovated (2007) substantial detached villa - new kitchen and terraced in 2026. Private holiday home used regularly each year and so maintained and upgraded annually. Set in secluded, well stocked, walled gardens with great summer kitchen, extensive terraced areas and 8m x 4m lit heated swimming pool. Fully self catering and well equipped. This is a quiet getaway but only a few minutes drive from a marina development and beach (Balchik), 2 golf courses, the extensive beach resort of Albena, the city buzz of Varna or natural headland (Cape Kaliakra). This is a comfortable getaway, refurbished to a modern, high standard. Ideal for families, friends or that romantic break.
The property is located in a quiet, quaint farming village . It has no immediate neighbour (next door is a summer house) and is not overlooked. The house has a very large garden area with lots of terraces, areas and space.
This is a rural retreat, only a short drive from activities and attractions of the Black Sea coast and a good base to explore from. The Danube and Istanbul are both within 1/2 a days drive for excursions
Balchik and Albena: Balchik (15 minutes) - marina resort and small beach, great friendly restaurants, boat trips, small museum, shopping, Queen Maries Summer Palace and Gardens (a must!). There is a new Marina development and this lovely town, set into the side of the cliffs, is set to tastefully expand. There are 2 golf courses located on the edge of the town (approximately 10/15 minutes from the villa).
Albena (25 minutes) - full beach resort, fantastic beach, watersports, restaurants, horse riding, football, go karts, bowling, cinema, spa(s), massage and shopping. Albena is a purpose built resort with excellent clean and maintained beaches. Albena offers a busy bar/ restaurant scene but it is not overdone. The Bulgarians have been careful to control building and expansion to protect the feel of the area. There is also access to a small nature reserve. All this northern coastline has safe sandy beaches, clean sea waters and plenty to see and do.
Varna: Varna (40 minutes) - Bulgaria's 3rd city, vibrant cafe society, lots of shopping, beach, aquarium, dolphin show, parks, fantastic museums and art galleries. This is a great city to visit, it has a fascinating history and a rich cultural heritage. There are attractions and interests for all ages and you could visit for a whole week and still not see everything! Not as 'pretty' as other European cities but the Bulgarians have a friendly and youthful outlook which makes it a safe and comfortable place to explore (and get lost!)
Natural and Historic Attractions: Cape Kaliakra (35 mins)- historic headland and park. Roman ruins and defences, dolphin and whale viewings, outstanding natural beauty. This is one of many natural or historic attractions within 45 minutes drive of the villa. Other attractions to look out in the region for are the 'stone forest', roman museums, ancient cave monastery. There are also nature reserves with protected bird species and a wide mix of flora and fauna.
Bulgaria is famous for its roses and its honey.....the Valley of the Roses is 1/2 a days drive from the house and is a really good trip in the summer you get to see some amazing scenery and old villages. It is also famous for its sunflowers, grown on a vast scale for the oil . You will see massive fields full of flowers.
Pottery, wood carvings, wool and leather goods are also very popular.

Social worker, born in Birmingham living in Manchester. Bought and renovated this house as an adventure in a foreign land! I usually have a couple of holidays at the house myself each year and then rent out to family and wider guests It has been a fantastic base from which to explore Bulgaria and slightly further afield (Romania and Istanbul so far) I have had the house for 20 years now and improve, maintain and upgrade something on every trip
Why they chose this property
The house is very private and in a rural setting if you want to chill out' but there are loads of things to do within easy access. You need a car - but getting about is easy. I've developed good relationships with some of the neighbours who provide a taxi service for guests and love to look after visitors It’s a great country to visit, weather fantastic, food very fresh and healthy, people friendly, interesting history, easy to get around
