Villa Eden is a traditional Bulgarian Farmhouse which has been sympathetically renovated and split into 2 separate self-contained apartments with the first-floor apartment being used solely for holiday lets. The house has been restored to offer a basic, 'no frills' style of accommodation and as such unfortunately, has no internet or wi-fi connection provided.
The property is set in mature gardens with fully fenced and walled perimeters, in a typical Bulgarian village location, amongst the Starca Planina Hills. It is approximately half an hour's drive from both Bourgas airport and the busy tourist resort of Sunny Beach. If you require a luxury accommodation with all mod-cons and within easy reach of vibrant nightlife entertainment, then Villa Eden is certainly not what you are looking for, however, if you just want to get away from it all, chill out and relax, sunning yourself by your own private pool then this could be the ideal destination.
The villa is set on a corner plot, on the main road through the village which makes for easy access and offers roadside parking right outside the property. A locked gate takes one into the mature gardens which surround the property and an external, stone staircase leads guests to the self-contained accommodation situated on the first floor of the building. Unfortunately, there is no disabled access and the villa is not suited to younger children because of the external stairs and the deep swimming pool.
The first-floor accommodation comprises of a double bedroom, a single bedroom, a combined kitchen/living area with a bed-settee and a fully tiled wet-room. A small balcony to the front of the accommodation affords views to the Black Sea on a clear day!
We do not have air-con but fans are provided in all rooms. The living room benefits from a small kitchen area complete with kettle and toaster, microwave oven, 2 x ring hot-plate and a fridge/freezer. Pots, pans, crockery and cutlery are all provided as are bed linens, sheets and towels. Although we have no internet or TV we have provided a small viewing monitor with a choice of DVDs, we also have a couple of IPod docking stations with a selection of CDs and a choice of books and board games are also provided.
Villa Eden is surrounded by shrubs, plants, bushes and an assortment of fruit trees including pear; plum; peach; fig and walnuts. There are a number of different seating options to choose from around the property, with sun loungers, deck-chairs, tables and parasols on the patio pool area. There is a bistro set under the shaded sail by the well, a wooden bench along the side of the house opposite the potting shed, (ideal for a chilled glass of wine at about 5pm!) and a breakfast table with bench seating under the balcony. There are also a couple of hammocks in-situ. The large entertainment area provides further seating with a dining area complete with fridge and a built-in BBQ grill for cooking on, there is also a traditional Bulgarian prep area which features a stone sink and running water.
A second wet room is situated in the garden by the entertainments area and is ideal to use after the pool or when enjoying an al-fresco meal in the entertainment area.
