You Don't Have To Be Rich To Stay in Villa Daisy

"That's better I said!" I slowly sat up after experiencing Dani's wonderful massage in Villa Daisy.

Earlier, the spring snow was that powder that glistens in the afternoon sunshine.

Now the exotic incense of Dani's Villa Daisy's massage room was the place to be.

The massage was during my stay last season. This was in the huge top floor three bedroom apartment in the same development.

I'd had some guests that stayed on an extra day and I forgot to check first before just turning up at my own apartment. But no matter, as it meant I could get two apartment reviews in this chalet style building. See http://banskoaccommodation.blogspot.com/2008/09/villa-daisy.html for review.

So I then met Paul from Hale, Manchester way.

Paul's third floor impressive two bedroom apartment awaited.

Spacious bedrooms were just another reason I can give to rent his apartment.

Two Bedroom in Three bedroom Space

Villa Daisy is located in Bansko's Glazne quarter. One to rent if you are, like me, wanting luxury at affordable price.

This is one of those properties you immediately relax in when you arrive.

When Paul agreed to offer his apartment for rental I was delighted. But not just because I knew guests would love its two large bedrooms.

Nor the large bathroom. Or even the smart comfortable furnishings.

But because this is the best two bedroom I have been in so far!

Relax in style

Relaxing round the real log fire. we chatted over a Shumensko beer...

then we met friends for another in the Plan B bar. Lit with candles it was hard to drag ourselves out into the cold night.

But Villa Daisy is a short stroll to the centre of Bansko old town, and its many mehanas, and we soon gathered quite a group for a late night visit to the "Nai Club."

Some apartments are too small to bother with much cooking.

But take a look at this kitchen area - perfect to prepare a meal for family and friends.

Or simply to prepare the apres ski snacks and drinks.


Paul wants you to enjoy this property and its facilities. Like him, I'm sure you will want to return soon.

Jacuzzi, wireless broadband, internet room, underground parking, ski locker and lobby bar complete the facilities.

Want chalet ambiance?

Want loads of space?

Rent this.

If You Don't Book Your Bansko Accommodation Now, You'll Hate Yourself Later

If You Don't Book Your Bansko Accommodation Now, You'll Hate Yourself...

Credit Crunch 08 is in full swing - are you wondering if you are ever going to be able to go skiing again?

Time will tell - but I say a 30's style depression seems less likely without government intervention into the Banking sector. The cut in interest rates across Europe & US seems like a good start. We'll see.

Interestingly, my Barclays Capital Markets friend, Dave, is all talk of how to get the annual ski fix. He's now come to face facts that, on a non existent bonus, he'll be hard pressed to fund the annual £6,000 trip to Verbier.

Things have changed. Not long ago talking about Bansko and Bulgaria would not have cut the mustard across the dealing room floors. Nor would it impress his high maintenance girlfriends much. But that was then, and this is now. Its, the crash of '08 and its time for bankers to spend some of their own money.

All of a sudden, Bansko is looking like just the ticket to save cash. Dave would normally rely on at least one ski corporate weekend jolly - and possibly one lads weekend too. Now what? With sufficient money to choose locations, its really all about being cautious. Cautious means spending less in 2009.

Anyhow, for the first time, Dave is up for the boys trip in January to "give it a go". He's also rounding up five or six of his mates to join him for his first Eastern European ski adventure. My bet is we'll see a few more of him booking before the week is out.

What does this mean for Bansko? Well simply put:

THE SECRET OF CREDIT CRUNCH SKIING IS OUT!

Advance Bansko accommodation bookings are well up from last year. Direct flights are filling up fast. The problem will be a shortage of cheap flights. Many weekend flights will no longer be sub £150 - so the early bird catches the worm.

So for the City boys, I think its out with France, Switzerland ... Val D'Isere and Verbier and in with Bulgaria and Bansko.

Book your flight now, or email me for accommodation and transfer deal first... You'll hate yourself if you don't do it now.
