About this property
Luxurious accomodation set within the charm of a traditional Bulgarian Village
The Rustic Bulgarian Villa is set in the rural village of PetrovDol. A unique landscape overlooking canyons, valleys & sunflower fields. This idyllic setting is only 35 minutes from Varna Airport & 40 minutes from Varna.
Remaining largely untouched by the 21st century, shepherds tend their flocks & many locals still travel by donkey & cart. Rustic Bulgaria offers all the conveniences of modern life to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is a fully equipped modern fitted kitchen and each of the 3 double bedrooms affords either an en suite bathroom or an en suite shower room with wash basin & WC. Within the grounds there is a 12 X 4m swimming pool and plenty of room for relaxation under the grape vines which can produce 100 ltrs. of wine per year. There is a basic shop & two bars in the village of PetrovDol. For meals out, a supermarket, cash point or day trip to the ancient hill top fortress of Ovech, a 5 min trip to the nearby town of Provadia is highly recommended. The beaches of Varna and Kamchia are only 40 minutes away by car.

Why they chose this property
Hi, I was lucky enough to have bought this property in 2007, mainly for it's rustic charm and character. It's hard to believe that one can be in such a beautiful and different setting, just 3 hrs. from the UK. I've holidayed here in Petrovdol, with my family, every year since then and I still love it dearly. Over the years we've come to know and love the locals, like family, and Bulgaria, for it's unique charm and beauty.
What makes this property unique
It's great having English speaking, friends and contacts, living here, full time, within easy reach of The Rustic Bulgarian Villa, able to answer any queries about the house or provide information on the area and local amenities, at any time. Children absolutely love it here. As well as tortoise living within the grounds of the property, as soon as they step out of the front gate, there are geese, chickens, turkeys, goats and donkeys, to name but a few of the animals kept by some of the adjoining, smallholdings. The wildlife in this part of Bulgaria, includes, Eagles (some Golden) all sorts & Storks, which migrate/immigrate from and to Africa, each year. The 12 x 4 meter swimming pool is great and means that one really need not leave the property for something to do, at any time and especially when it's hot. Installing it has completely transformed the dynamics of this property. It's important to mention that the property is walled, on all sides, so if you have children, although they can explore and wander freely, around the 1500 square meters, they cannot wander off.
