Property Description

This newly renovated four–bedroom holiday home is situated on the edge of a good village and sleeps up to eight people. Three of the four bedrooms have double beds, whilst the fourth bedroom offers two single beds and is suitable for children. There is a new kitchen that is fully equipped with everything to make your stay very comfortable. The dining area is extremely quaint and traditional, with beamed ceilings, large open fire place and yet still very modern. This rental property has two bathrooms with shower. The house also offers a safe for keeping valuables, nice outside BBQ and patio area with vine arbor for shade, and open areas for sunbathing.

Car hire is recommended, although regular bus services operate to Dobrich and Balchik.

Gurkovo is a very traditional Bulgarian village, where most of the locals are self sufficient. Village life here has remained largely unchanged for centuries – the people are extremely friendly and welcoming, and are very likely to bestow you with gifts of their own produce and home-made “rakia” brandy during your stay. The only real traffic in this charming village are the donkeys!

Gurkovo is located approximately 11 kilometers (7 miles) from the historic fishing and resort town of Balchik, 22 kilometers (14 miles) from the holiday resort at Kavarna, and 38 kilometers (22 miles) from the large provincial town of Dobrich. The international resorts of Albena and Golden Sands and the cosmopolitan city of Varna are all within 30 minutes drive. There are also quiet secluded local beaches nearby, so you will be spoilt for choice of activities during your stay. Gurkovo is an extremely tranquil place surrounded by open wheat, corn and sunflower fields, which are quite dazzling in the summer!

Balchik town offers all of the facilities you would expect of a holiday resort, but retains a traditional peaceful fishing town. Balchik has many attractions, such as Queen Marie of Romania’s summer palace, the famous Botanical Gardens and the Shark water park.

Dobrich has an extremely lively pedestrianised area with amazingly cheap yet cosmopolitan cafes, bars and restaurants. The shopping is also excellent. Just off the main pedestrian thoroughfare is the “Stariya Dobrich” (Old Dobrich) area, where historic nineteenth-century houses line cobbled streets and craftsmen demonstrate their traditional trades.
