Spacious Penthouse Apartment (sleeps 4) - Stunning views and great location/facilities
Apartment with 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 4, Garden, Swimming Pool
This spacious penthouse apartment can easily accommodate up to 4 persons. It benefits from being based in the 4* hotel 'Mountain Paradise by the Walnut Tree'. The hotel is situated in a great location only 300m from the gondola. The hotel has some of the best amenities in Bansko, including indoor heated swimming pool, luxury spa leisure and health facilities and restaurant/bar. From the apartments' private balcony you can overlook the hotel gardens and receive stunning views of the Pirin Mountains and Bansko itself.
The spacious and well located apartment is furnished to a high specification throughout. It contains a large double bedroom, well equipped kitchen, living/dining room, stylish bathroom, lobby and balcony with fantastic views. The apartment has all the facilities you need including satellite TV, wireless internet, DVD with USB port for an iPod.
The apartment is serviced and maintained by a management company who will meet and greet all guests upon arrival and can organise airport transfers (ask for details).
The 4* Mountain Paradise by the Walnut Trees hotel is arguably one of the best in Bansko as it combines an excellent location (5 minute walk to the Gondola and a similar distance to the centre of town) with great facilities. It is also one of the few hotels in Bansko with a large garden. The hotel was completed in late 2007.
List of hotel facilities: Indoor heated swimming pool; Spa facilities which includes wellness centre; sauna; Turkish/steam bath; gym; jacuzzi; solarium; Reception area; Lift access to all floors; Underground parking (2€/day); Restaurant/Mehana; Lobby bar; Ski storage; Laundry services; VIP conference rooms; Children's play area and games room.
The apartment also has the advantage of being associated with the adjoining hotel Sunrise, where we have negotiated lower rates for our guests to use their facilities.
Bansko and Pirin mountains:
This charming town is located at the foot of the Pirin Mountains. It is full of character reflected in its traditional 16th century architecture and cobblestone streets. However it is also very well catered for by modern facilities.
The Pirin mountains rise to over 2900m. The Pirin National Park is a UNESCO designated world heritage site. It is noted for its rich variety of flora and fauna, with much of the area being forested and boasting crystal-clear mountain lakes, such as Moratovo and Valeavishki lakes.
If you require we can arrange inexpensive transfers from the airport to the apartment.

Local activities in and around Bansko, West and Mountains
Skiing and Snowboarding: Bansko is rightly famous for its beautiful tree lined pistes. It is a modern ski resort with state-of-the-art lifts and a well-planned ski area which also boasts 160 snow cannons. It caters for all levels of skiers and snow boarders. Bansko has 70km of ski runs and its longest run is 16km. The highest lift rises to 2560m. Snow boarders are lured by the popular halfpipe and the fun park zone. A 2 hour ski lesson will cost you less than £10, and a 6 day lift pass around £90.
Eating out: Bansko contains many Mehanas (traditional bulgarian taverns), hotel restaurants and street cafés. All Mehanas serve traditional Bulgarian cuisine, as well as local wines and often provide live folk music making for a great evening out. Large beers can be bought for about £1/€1.4 and a three course meal costs approximately £7/€9. We particularly recommend Ethno restaurant on Pirin Street.
Historical sites: Bansko is famous for its beutiful wooden and stone houses. The Holy Trinity Church, with its 30 m high bell-tower and clock, splendid murals and woodcarvings are worth a visit.
Après-ski/nightlife: Evening entertainment in Bansko is great value, with something to suit all tastes. People can while away the evening in the local Mehanas. Alternatively, there are a number of bars and clubs, such as the Buddha Bar and Amnesia, both down Pirin Street, providing a good way to unwind after a long day on the slopes. In the Summer, Bansko plays host to a number of festivals, including the internationally renowed annual Bansko Jazz festival.
Shopping and Facilities: There is a large variety of shops in Bansko spread throughout the town. It contains traditional craft shops through to supermarkets and banks. There are also ski and sport shops such as at the Bansko Royal Towers complex.
