Beautiful location, only about 5 mins walk from the gondola and about 10 mins to Rila. Chalet was as described and lovely and warm - quick to heat up. Beds were comfy. Only thing missing was a rack of some sort for skis and boots but we coped without. Would recommend Vickys pizza (opposite) and Bistro Queen (at the end of the road) as lovely places to eat. Would definitely stay again.
Chalet is situated at the edge of forest. Thatswhy is very fresh in summer. Kitchen is very small and some basic equipment is missing, like kitchen mesh, cutting plate and kitchen peeler. Othervise a wooden spaces are warm and nice. Own sauna works well. Owner is very expeditive in communication. I recommend.

Spacious chalet with sauna
4 singles and 1 double bed was perfect for us four. Close to town, not 3 minutes from slope but close enough. Supermarket 2 minutes walk and sauna is wonderful after a hard day on the piste. David is very helpful, would recommend his chalet to friends/family albeit beds very hard but apres ski helps

Beautiful chalet set in a perfect location!
The chalet was spacious enough for 6 people. It had everything that you needed plus an added bonus of a sauna which was great after a day on the slopes!
The chalet was cleaned on a daily basis.
Would definitely recommend this property. David is quick to reply & very helpful.
Thank you for a fabulous stay!
Everything was as described and the check in went very smoothly. A very friendly cleaning lady came by every day and helped us with clean towels, trash disposal and toilet paper.
The pictures shown are extremly accurate. The chalet is very warm and cosy, the two upper bedrooms are very big with plenty of space however the downstairs bedroom which has the double bed in it only has room for the bed and small bedside table. We had to use the upstairs to put our cases and clothes.
We used the sauna everyday and loved that feature. We didn't really cook, we didn't intend to, just made toast for breakfast. The rest of the time we ate out.
We had someone come in every day and make up our beds which was nice.
