Vacation Rental Description
This cosy apartment provides a prime location for avid skiers and families alike being just a minutes walk to the Gondola station so no carrying equipment or catching buses before or after a busy day on the slopes. On the third floor, the apartment is tastefully decorated showcasing the unique work of local artisans and has stunning views of both mountain ranges. There is a very efficient log fire which warms the apartment very quickly but electic heaters are very effective to keep an even temperature. In the basement of the building we have a large ski locker for all your ski equipment etc. We have a balcony overlooking the Kempinski Hotel and with lovely views towards the mountain ranges. Our friendly management staff are located within the same building to give you any help or information you may need during your stay and will also help with the rental of ski equipment giving discounts when available. Situated opposite the apartment is the elegant 5 star Kempinski Arena Hotel and like most Hotels in Bansko offers leisure facilities to non-residents for a local fee.
The apartment offers a sanctuary to relax from the slopes but is in easy reach of many of the apres ski bars and the old town of Bansko with its host of friendly mahenas (tavernas) offering the best freshly cooked meals at reasonable prices.
