Overview

Your AccommodationOverlooking its own gently sloping landscaped gardens and, beyond, the highest mountains of the Central Balkan Range, Balkan View is an ideal place for tranquility, relaxation, fresh clean air and the outdoor life. Built in two sections around a spacious covered terrace, this cleverly designed mountain lodge offers simple, comfortable accommodation that works equally well as a romantic hideaway for a couple, a quiet spot for families whether seeking access to outdoor sports or just to get away from it all, and as a holiday destination for groups of friends who will enjoy long evenings on the terrace with the barbecue and plunge pool adding to the party mood. The covered terrace is the centrepiece of the holiday home and is fully furnished with a large dining table that seats eight comfortably.
NearbySituated in the very heart of Bulgaria, your holiday home is a base for visiting historic towns, cultural and tourist attractions including Apriltsi, Troyan and Troyan Monastery, the craft exhibition centre at Oreshaka and natural history museum at Cherni Osam, the towns of Lovech, Gabrovo and Bulgaria's medieval capital Veliko Tarnovo.
Outdoor sports and activity tourismAn added attraction is the range of outdoor pursuits and sports available around Apriltsi. The area is particularly favoured by hikers and mountain bikers (mountain bike hire is available from Apriltsi tourist office, likewise detailed information about routes and hiking trails). Other activities available in the area include horse riding, fishing, caving and paragliding. The property owners will be glad to advise you on how to access these.
