Self-catering Summer Cottage With Swimming Pool
A Relaxing Experience Not Far From the Sea
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Perched on the edge of a wooded hillside, overlooking a small ravine with a stream, this self-catering cottage provides some breathtaking views of the surrounding forest and the green pastures, stretching out on the facing slopes. Its rural location, not far from the sea and the City of Varna, has everything to offer to the holiday-makers who wish to stay off the beaten track of traditional seaside areas, and allows for genuine peace and quiet. Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded tourist resorts, yet in close proximity to the beaches along the Varna coast, it is ideal for families with young children, country and nature lovers of all ages. It is just an 18 min drive north from both Varna International Airport and the motorway to Sofia, 20 min from the City of Varna, and 25 min from the resorts of Golden Sands and Albena, 12 min from the nearest beach.

Further details
Oreshak village is relatively small. It has a couple of shops, of which the main one is at the centre, by the bus stop. The village has a small church operated at weekends, a Village Hall and a Farm. Donkey rides are sometimes organised in the summer and guests might get a 'safari jeep' trip from the village. Hiking in the vicinity of the village, down to the brook and around is another opportunity for nature lovers. There are no restaurants in the village.

Owner profile
About the owner
We are a mixed British/Bulgarian family who have lived in Oreshak since 2001 where we have built this summer home close to our own house. We believe in offering the visitor an unadulterated experience of a genuine Bulgarian village, enhanced by a location with beautiful views, while striving to provide privacy and comfort.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought the land and built Lavender cottage in 2004 close to our home. We love our location at the edge of the village for the open views and tranquility it provides. It is remote, yet not too far from the choice of facilities and urban life Varna has to offer as a city, and the numerous resorts along the regional Black Sea coast.
Unique benefits of the property
The chance to stay away from the crowds, with a swimming pool at your disposal, and a private resting and eating area outside the house. Enjoy the views to the forested valley below the house.
