Rent an Eco-Friendly Villa in Bulgaria

Although the enviromental concerns in Bulgaria are not developed at the required level, Villa Lilly has been designed and built as an "Eco-friendly accommodation", because owners love and respect the local area. With this project they give their small contribution to preserving the local resourses.

What is making Lilly an Eco-friendly property?
  • The villa has 7 solar panels in the yard, which provide the heating of the water tank in the villa.
  • All garden lights are set with an energy saving bulbs.
  • The house has a heat insulation, which is keeping the villa airy enough and helps the guests use the cooling airconditioners only at the very hot summer days.
  • Additionally the WC-s in the house have a half-flushing button to save the water consumption.
  • Because it is more environmentally efficient to dry clothes outside in the summer rather than using an electric dryer, in the villa are provided a clothes line and clothes pins.
  • The green policy of the villa encourages guests to use the washing mashine and the dishwasher only at full capacity, taking shower, instead of bath, air-conditioners to be swiched off, when guests are not at the villa and shutting the tap when brushing teeths or shaving.
Choosing Villa Lilly for your vacation and keeping the green policy of the villa, you are contributing to a greener world.

ЗАЩО ДА РЕЗЕРВИРАМ ВИЛА ПОД НАЕМ, А НЕ ХОТЕЛ

1. УЕДИНЕНИЕ И СВОБОДА: Наемайки вила, имаш на разположение свое собствено пространство, което не делиш с непознати. Избягваш караницата за съседни стаи в хотела, не се храниш по час и под строй на шведска маса, не ставаш рано сутрин, за да запазиш шезлонг край басейна, камериерката не влиза в 8:00 или по време на следобедната ти дрямка, за да почисти, при влизане и излизане не привличаш погледите на персонала. Ваканционната вила ти дава възможността да се насладиш на почивката си по свой собствен начин – да се излежаваш цял ден край тихия и спокоен басейн или да изледваш местните забележителности и вечерта да си приготвиш късна вечеря със семейството си. Ти решаваш!

2. ПРОСТРАНСТВО И УДОБСТВО: Няма две мнения, че вилата е много по-просторна от една хотелска стая. В уречения час можете да сложите децата да спят в тяхната самостоятелна спалня, а вие да си направите семейна вечеря или барбекю с приятели, да погледате телевизия, да поплувате в басейна или да изпиете по един студен коктейл след залез слънце, и всичко това без да се налага да вървите на пръсти. С добре оборудваната кухня във всяка вила, ти решаваш дали ще се насладите на домашно приготвени ястия или ще посетите местния ресторант. Изборът на закуска, обяд и вечеря зависи от теб. А с наличието на пералня, определено не е нужно да опаковаш 14 чифта чорапи.

3. ЦЕНА: Ако групата ви заеме вилата на пълен капацитет, ефективността на разходите ще си проличи най-вече в сравнение с цената за резревиране на 3, 4 или 5 хотелски стаи. Когато планирате бюджета за почивката си, просто сравнете цената на човек на ден.

4. ПЕРСОНАЛНОСТ И АВТЕНТИЧНОСТ: За обслужващия персонал, собственика на имота или посредническата агенция никога няма да сте просто номер на стая. Указването на съдействие от страна на Вила мениджъра при възникнали въпроси или проблеми, винаги е индивидуално и съобразено с нуждите на групата ви. Освен това, отсядането в самостоятелна вила, придава усещането, че живееш в ритъма на местното население, а не просто, че пребиваваш в курорт. От пазаруването в локалния магазин до опознаването на местните порядки и култура – всичко това се превръща в автентично изживяване.
