Beautiful chalet with private sauna and mountain Views

Staying in Matt’s chalet was a pleasure from start to finish. He was so helpful in providing practical advice on hire cars and restaurants etc. The chalet itself is as it appears in the images. Comfortable, clean and cosy and really well located if you want to be a ten minute drive from the gondola and out of touristy Bansko. Natasha and the management company were brilliant and accessible. They met us on arrival so we could follow them in the car to the chalet. We really loved our stay at Matt’s place and we even got some snow for Christmas!

We loved our stay in Matt's chalet in Dobrinishte- the sunset views were a treat and our kids loved playing in the yard. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen and was very comfortable. It was an excellent base for exploring and hiking in the area. There were a few technical issues that were quickly resolved by the professional management team.

I highly recommend a trip to this beautiful corner of Europe

My girlfriend and I booked a trip to Bulgaria and the Pirin mountains at the last minute for a late summer holiday. We like to try and get off the beaten track and this place came recommended by a friend.

We spent our first day in Sofia and had seen all the sights by lunch time. There was not a lot to see in the city, just a few crumbing communist monuments and historic buildings

We were staying in a chalet in Dobrinishte, a small town 4 hours south of Sofia. We took the bus to Bansko, the biggest town in the area where we were met and transported the short car ride to our chalet.

The chalet was in a beautiful position, in the shadow of the mountains overlooking most of the town. It was clean and well stocked with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. There was even a sauna though as it was August and 30 degrees outside we didn't use it.

The town itself was lovely, rustic and ramshackled with excellent restaurants serving traditional Bulgarian food. There was a modern spa resort and and old bathing house as well as a few bars and shops. Anything we couldn't get in Dobrinishte we could go over to get in Bansko.

Getting around was sometimes a problem and I would recommend hiring a car (which can be done in both Dobrinishte and Bansko). To really explore the mountains, a car is very useful as the local bus service and be a little hit and miss.

There's a good travel and excursion agency in Dobrinishte which can help you with exploring the place. The chalet host was also extremely helpful and friendly as were the Bulgarian people in general.

Overall, we spent a very relaxing and peaceful few days exploring the local scenery and Bulgarian culture. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Außerordentlich freundlicher und netter Empfang durch Natascha, zügige Übergabe. Chalet sehr gut ausgestattet, sehr sauber, Bettwäsche, Handtücher etc. alles vorhanden, Objekt umzäunt und verschlossen, Parkplatz vor dem Objekt kein Problem. Aussicht vom Objekt auf Rila- und Pirin-Gebirge traumhaft, nette Sitzgelegenheiten auf Terrasse oder Balkon im 1.OG. Sauna sehr sauber, auch nutzbar, aber wir hatten fast immer über 25 bzw. 30 Grad Außentemperatur. Es gab absolut keine Probleme, als Paar ausreichend Platz.

Logement bien aménagé, propre et près de Bansko et des lacs du Pirin.
