Further details 
Balchik is predominately a harbour town, with a beautiful harbour boardwalk. It also sports a new modern Marina and has modern banks, restaurants, and shops as well as access to an old, historic town. It is home to Bulgaria's national Botanical Gardens and Summer Palace. 
There is an art gallery and museum. 
Balchick comes alive in the summer, with a lots of local festivities and a summer nightlife scene. The villa property is sufficiently out of town to escape being part of this scene, but close enough to provide access to a range of bars, pubs restaurants and night clubs.

This area of Bulgaria is great if you want to avoid the big holiday resorts and the constant hustle and bustle. Balchik gets quite lively in the summer with plenty of nightlife and excellent resturaunts and bars but it's a much more relaxed atmosphere than the resorts. You can chill out with the locals down by the boardwalk and get cheap beer from the stalls or go upmarket to one of the seafront establishments. The seafront is a strollers paradise with a town beach and about 1km of bars & resturaunts, entertainment leading out to the historic Palace which has a fantastic old style Bulgarian eatery and wine dealer. The old town has many less expensive places to shop and relax and you can get great local food from the stalls if you like to cook for yourselves.

 
 
Unique benefits of the property  
The location of the villa allows you to easily retreat up the hill to the edge of town and enjoy some secluded private time. It also has fabulous view and we like nothing better than morning coffee and evening drinks on the viewing terrace. The kids love the pool and it's an easy house to relax at since there's nobody overlooking you but you have neighbours for a bit of local interest. The walk up from town will keep you fit but hire a car and there are many other great beaches to go and visit and Albena has to be a destination for kids at least once. It's an old style resort with a great beach. The best bit is right at the Balchik end so head there first. Check out the access to the 3 world-class golf courses nearby, Black Sea Rama, Thracian Cliffs and Lighthouse.
