family of 5!

any ifo out there on the best hotel to stay in with our 3 small boys - all skiers but new to Bulgaria and want to be as close to nursery/ski school as possible - (has anyone tried carrying 3 sets of skis ?! )

we always struggle to find a suite/room for 5....also any advice on which airport/ resort offers the shortest transfer time??

thanks

hotel Rila in Borovets is right at the bottom of the nursery slopes

Try self catering in Bansko. You can book Mont Blanc apartments through this site. We had 5 of us in a 2 bed appartment last season and it was great. You can leave skis at the gondola station in the storage room for about 3 lev per day per person or take them with you to the appartments in a shuttle bus for 2 lev ( 70p) per day return each.

Borovets is a shorter transfer but I've heard the skiing is better in Bansko.

hi clair,
rila hotel, they have apartments try inghams broucher but hurry they tend to go fast. The rila is very close to the nursery slopes. Airports gatwick, birmingham , bristol is all booked, manchester.

Good sking plenty for the boys.

thank you for these replies - we are looking into the Rila Hotel appartments as they are 2 beds and with the amount of ski-ing stuff we take extra space is a priority!!
