Yagoda Village

Hi Everyone,

I have been an avid reader of this forum ever since I booked my holiday to Borovets for late December.

We are staying the Yagoda Chalets, does anyone know anything about these? I have beens earching around but haven't been able to find out anything at all like, facilities at the complex (ie. bars/restaurants), what the chalets are like inside etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I think the best thing to do is a search and you will find all you need, everything from money, bars, lifts etc

We stayed there in 2003!!

The chalets are comfortable and warm - alittle too warm at times to be honest. Do NOT go expecting to self cater. The chalets do not have the facilities for this, breakfast was fine, and there really is a very limited supply of food in Borovets to do this anyway.

The restaurant on site was very good if you were eating off the menu - the buffet meal looked ineteresting but we obviously didn't have it as we were room only.

The ski bus takes you into Borovets each morning without any difficulty. We found the evening service limited and tended to catch a taxi back later. 10 lev = £3.

We felt it was a little too far out of town and certainly too far to walk with a 5 & 7 yr old but we did see others making the journey.

We exchanged money in the reception area and used the safety box for our valuables. The ladies cleaned each morning if you left the catd asking them to in your window.

There is a full size fridge and 2 ring burner. A couple of pots to make coffe/tea etc. Plenty of hot water in the shower. We didn't use the sauna - some chalets have them ours didn't. There is one located in receprion.

It is a very pretty set up especially if it has snowed overnight and the trees then look beautiful.

Have fun and ask more if you wish.

re: Yagoda Village

Can I ask please, how far exactly these chalets are to borovets centre. We are quite a fit and active family and prefer to walk when possible. Plus begrudge giving taxi drivers money!! Wink Rather save it for the beer.
We have a 10 year old and 6 year old, both happy to walk, but how far is it please. (Old measurements please. Too old for kilometres! Wink Very Happy)

re: Yagoda Village

The brochure says 15 minute walk. It is possible and as I said we saw families doing it but it wasn't for us!!

Try it and if it doesn't work don't do it again!!

re: Yagoda Village

Oh that's great thank Ellie. 15 mins is a stroll to us as we walk all the time. Must be about a mile then.
Cheers for that! Very Happy
