Constructed and renovated (2007) substantial detached villa. Private holiday home used regularly each year and so maintained and upgraded annually. Set in secluded, well stocked, walled gardens with great summer kitchen, extensive terraced areas and 8m x 4m lit heated swimming pool. Fully self catering and well equipped. This is a quiet getaway but only a few minutes drive from a marina development and beach (Balchik), 2 golf courses, the extensive beach resort of Albena, the city buzz of Varna or natural headland (Cape Kaliakra). This is a comfortable getaway, refurbished to a modern, high standard. Ideal for families, friends or that romantic break.

The property is located in a quiet, quaint farming village . It has no immediate neighbour (next door is a summer house) and is not overlooked. The house has a very large garden area with lots of terraces, areas and space.

This is a rural retreat, only a short drive from activities and attractions of the Black Sea coast and a good base to explore from. The Danube and Istanbul are both within 1/2 a days drive for excursions


Balchik and Albena: Balchik (15 minutes) - marina resort and small beach, great friendly restaurants, boat trips, small museum, shopping, Queen Maries Summer Palace and Gardens (a must!). There is a new Marina development and this lovely town, set into the side of the cliffs, is set to tastefully expand. There are 2 golf courses located on the edge of the town (approximately 10/15 minutes from the villa).

Albena (25 minutes) - full beach resort, fantastic beach, watersports, restaurants, horse riding, football, go karts, bowling, cinema, spa(s), massage and shopping. Albena is a purpose built resort with excellent clean and maintained beaches. Albena offers a busy bar/ restaurant scene but it is not overdone. The Bulgarians have been careful to control building and expansion to protect the feel of the area. There is also access to a small nature reserve. All this northern coastline has safe sandy beaches, clean sea waters and plenty to see and do.

Varna: Varna (40 minutes) - Bulgaria's 3rd city, vibrant cafe society, lots of shopping, beach, aquarium, dolphin show, parks, fantastic museums and art galleries. This is a great city to visit, it has a fascinating history and a rich cultural heritage. There are attractions and interests for all ages and you could visit for a whole week and still not see everything! Not as 'pretty' as other European cities but the Bulgarians have a friendly and youthful outlook which makes it a safe and comfortable place to explore (and get lost!)

Natural and Historic Attractions: Cape Kaliakra (35 mins)- historic headland and park. Roman ruins and defences, dolphin and whale viewings, outstanding natural beauty. This is one of many natural or historic attractions within 45 minutes drive of the villa. Other attractions to look out in the region for are the 'stone forest', roman museums, ancient cave monastery. There are also nature reserves with protected bird species and a wide mix of flora and fauna.

Bulgaria is famous for its roses and its honey.....the Valley of the Roses is 1/2 a days drive from the house and is a really good trip in the summer you get to see some amazing scenery and old villages. It is also famous for its sunflowers, grown on a vast scale for the oil . You will see massive fields full of flowers.

Pottery, wood carvings, wool and leather goods are also very popular.

    We had a lovely time in the spacious villa. The garden and pool are private and not overlooked. It is very rural but still only a short drive to Dobrich or the beaches and restaurants at Balchik. Katya was very helpful and quick to answer any questions.

    Great rural quiet location 20 minutes from the sea and 15 minutes to town. The host was superb, very helpful and prompt communication, assisted by an in-country host who was readily avaliable should we need her. The villa is spacious, with a very secure garden (for our dogs). It felt very secure with solid access gates and internal alarm, we had nothing to worry about. The heated pool, air-conditioning and TV streaming services (Netflix) all added to the comfort. Use the locsl butchers in Sokolovo for BBQ meat, its very cheap. We had an excellent week and wouldve extended if we could.

    The property was a little run down. It was in a very isolate area so a car is a must. The house next door was in the middle of refurbishment so quite a lot of banging throughout the day and they also has a few dogs that barked quite a lot. There was only a 2 ring hob so it was quite difficult to cook a meal for 5. It was also very difficult to actually find the villa as we were not given the full directions before arrival. There was a consistent bad smell in the downstairs bathroom and the air conditioning unit leaked ( quite dangerous as the television and plugs were situated underneath ) The pool was quite large but extremely cold ( quite refreshing on a hot day ) There was quite a few pool toys that came in handy. If you are looking for something very rural, this is the place for you. Thank you

    Lovely villa to relax in and very quiet. Great private outside area with nice swimming pool which was regularly checked and cleaned. Good location for a number of beaches and places to explore. Car needed. Villa well equipped. Owner was very helpful and the house manager was at hand if needed. Would recommend to family and friends.

    We had an amazing holiday with family and friends at villa Korona! We enjoyed everything from the night life of Albena to relaxing in the sun at the villa and making the most of the beautiful views. Would love to go again!

    We enjoyed a fabulous fortnight in Villa Korona with our three children. The pool and garden were beautiful, and the house had everything we needed. We made extensive use of the outside cooking area and BBQ for fantastic dinners, and ate apples and plums from the trees in the garden. The rural location of the villa was peaceful but near enough to Dobrich for supermarkets and cheap meals out, to the beautiful beach at Albena, and the marina and seafront restaurants at Balchik. We also visited the Stone Forest and Alazha Monastery which were both well worth a trip. A car was essential (we booked with George at Fusion Cars which worked really well, even with a delayed flight and a car pick up after midnight!). Even with an extremely late arrival we were met by a smiling face and a fridge with essentials so we were able to make breakfast in the morning. Kevin was very helpful during the booking process and answered all our questions very promptly. We would highly recommend Villa Korona for a restful, relaxing holiday and a chance to get away from everything. Just what we needed!

    A real gem of place, ideal for those wanting to recharge their batteries or chillax if you're a former politician. If relaxation is about a safe, comfortable, quiet location, far from the madding crowd, in the heart of the countryside, then this could be for you. Don't expect bright lights, relentless bars and clubbing, neon-lights and muzak. There's none of that: no inquisitive neighbours or even agricultural machinery in the surrounding fields; just blue sky and birdsong and time to catch up with yourself. It really is that quiet. If you are interested in being seen at all the right places, don't bother - nobody is there to see you and no-one is looking (although I suspect you will eventually realise)! Rather, this is highly recommended for more discerning families and groups able to make their own entertainment. The villa is well-equipped with a very pleasant, walled garden, pool and separate outdoor kitchen (incl. bbq), although any more than four adults and (max.) two children would arguably be straining capacity. We would happily return and will start compiling a reading list for future visits.
