Description of object
Stay in our authentic eco holiday house which sleeps 7 in 4 farmhouse style bedrooms. This is a beautifully renovated farmhouse finished in natural materials and described in the UK Guardian as a work of 'love and ingenuity'. Order a breakfast hamper full of homemade produce, including fresh eggs, homemade preserves and bread. Kids love to help out with the animals, collecting eggs and taking the goats for a walk to meet the shepherd. Join one of our seasonal activities, such as making cheese, wine or perry, or salami/bacon. Lots to do in the area including 2 outdoor summer pools, World Heritage sites or go to one of the many summer festivals to experience the rich cultural life of Bulgaria. This is a hidden gem off the beaten track.
Location of object
This is not a tourist location but a place where our guests get to learn about the real rural life of Bulgaria with all its rich traditons. We are located in an area rich in cultural heritage and Chris, an archaeologist with 20 years experience, has devised a number of trips to visit local heritage sites. These include 3 World Heritage Sites, one of which is the amazing Sveshtari Thracian Tomb. There are also wonderful walks, especially from Spring to Autumn when there are lots of wild flowers; fishing in the nearby lake; and two outdoor summer swimming pools in the nearby villages. Or just get away from the world for a week in this beautiful quiet location where time seems to stand still.
Town: Bulgaria, Palamartsa Village, Popovo
Palamartsa is a traditional Bulgarian village off the tourist circuit, where you can experience the nostalgia of village life. Here horses and carts and shepherds with flocks pass outside the window while old women still farm their own vegetables and keep goats, chickens and pigs. The cultural life of the village is rich with a lively traditional band, singing and dancing group. Guests can meet the friendly locals by having a wander around the village where you will no doubt be invited to view a village garden or two!
