Its called the Rila Monestry and its a fair old drive from Bansko you need to allow a good hour each way to visit. I must say that there isnt that much to see there but it is nice and one thing you will notice both inside and outside there is no human sound anywhere no cars nothing just silence it is really nice and stunning views and has the heat of Greece.

If memory serves the Monestry Apartments are opposite the Tanne hotel. Reasonable position, 10 mins from gondolar and 15 mins from the centre (walking). You are quite close to the `friendly bar', a fine watering hole Booze

Hi

We stayed there a couple of years ago and it was fine ...

The apartments were well fitted ... lovely clean linen ... modern and wow was it warm!!

None of the facilities within the block were open but we didn't really mind about that ... but I am sure that won't be the case this year ..

The only downside was the shower cubicle leaked ... nothing a few towels didn't sort though ..

Just a short distance to the gondola .. approx 10 mins walk ..

Yes .. it is almost dead ...

Have a great time ..

We are there in 2 weeks time ...
