Bulgaria Ski discussion board

we have our 2006 hol back to borovets booked but im the next year i want us to go in a chalet as the children will be older but we have aloways gone with balkan holidays so far and im not keen on their range of chalets are ther any other companys that do chalets IN the resort

also in i did it myself how much approx would a taxi be from sofia to borovets
and would you fit 2 adults and 2 children and approx 3suitcases and gear in(not to fussed if we dont take our own boarding gear for one year i like to pay for hol either before we go or on arrival so then i know that i dont have to worry about that at the end of holiday

can any one offer some info or help ???

Balkan Holidays have the largest selection of villas, offering Malina Village, Yagoda Village, Sofia & Rachel Villas (Which are great and in the centre) and the Iglika Villas. As neil said a taxi will cost minimum 70 levas. It will have to be a large taxi to fit in with 4 pax and 3 suitcases.

Why do you want to travel without the service of a tour operator? Making your own arrangements is all too much trouble when you only travel with for a week. Book through a tour operator and they make all the arrangements, transfers etc. and sort out the payment for the hotel!!

yes i know but know as i said we are yet again returning with glee to borovets as we do each winter but now the kids are older i want to do things differently and im not a hotel lover i like my space etc and the chalets in the brocheres dont give much choice
each year we have different friends coming to bulgaria with us and a fmaily have siad theyd liek to join us soon but in hotels you cant always get rooms close by but a big chalet would do all of us

its only a thought at the mo as soon maybe the kids wont want to join us
thanks for replys

Fraser is the man you are after. He has just bought a property in the centre of Borovets which he is as we speak converting to a catered chalet. I'm sure that will fit the bill!

If not look at the link below "booking accommodation" and Darrell and I have written about the Alpin Hotel which had suites within the hotel and seperate chalets on the slope behind them. Couldn't be more central if you tried and they are certainly very comfortable.

Whether or not you save money travelling to Borovets independantly really does depend on when you travel. Having to go half term week then you are quids in if you get a good flight price. Any other time then you really do need to look very carefully as the Bulgarian Hotel prices tend to be the same for the season and therefore don't take into account what we consider to be busy and quiet week.

Hope this helps - from someone who has travelled independantly!
