Bulgaria Ski discussion board

I know people paying less...
The apartments that seem to be doing ok are those promoted heavily by their owners, whose rates are realistic, and are willing to go the extra mile in looking after their guests... economics of choice i suppose, there is a lot of empty accomadation here...
I would hazard a guess but considering the massive fall in apartment values to a more realistic price over what was percieved then investment perhaps may be better described as millstone, especially if they bought at the peak.... like they say `investments can go down as well as rise'
The people i know who bought to use for themselves and their friends and family are enjoying their `investment', they may see a return long term maybe ??, but that is secondary to the reason they bought....

Good deal - I'm paying much the same at The Emerald (which always appears to do well with package tours, especially Russian, but is never anywhere near full) but the owner had pre-let 4 weeks. To be honest I've been away skiing in Europe a lot and not used it much - I reckon the owner must have made (including opportunity costing for his own occupancy) at least 4 grand for the 5 month season, minus a few odds and sods, for a one bed. Probably cost him less than 80 grand, so actually not a bad return especially if he can pick up some summer bookings
