Unforgettable Holidays in

Beautiful Rural Bulgaria

 

We are Darren and Anne North and we are waiting to welcome you  to the village of Radilovo which is situated in the foothills of the beautiful and mystical Rhodope mountains in sun drenched south western Bulgaria.  Here you will be able to experience all of Bulgaria’s ancient customs and traditions and the warmth and friendliness of  Europe’s most undiscovered country. Bulgaria borders Romania to the North, the eastern border is the Black Sea. Serbia and Macedonia to the west with Turkey to the South-east and Greece to the South.

Bulgaria’s history is rich and varied with Thracian remains dating back more than 5000 years. It has beautiful fertile planes, stunning wild mountain ranges, magnificent gorges, rivers, health spas and natural springs. It is famous for long balmy Summers, dreamy scented rose fields, richly colored orchards and sun drenched vineyards.

Nestling in the heart of Central Europe, Bulgaria is a land of unspoiled natural beauty, where time has been known to stand still. It is a country of great contrasts. Bulgaria is an interesting and intriguing experience for anyone: for those who love the warm southern Mediterranean climate or snow-covered alpine slopes, for those who want to see it’s cultural and historic monuments, who wish to delight in its unique and living folklore, for active people fond of sports, for families with children, for anyone requiring peace and serenity, or for those who dream of carefree holidays.
