It was awesome. Everything we needed was there and the team were very welcoming and solved any issue we had.We had a great time and would go back there in a heartbeat! We miss it already!
We had an amazing holiday with family and friends at villa Korona! We enjoyed everything from the night life of Albena to relaxing in the sun at the villa and making the most of the beautiful views. Would love to go again!

We had a lovely time in the spacious villa. The garden and pool are private and not overlooked. It is very rural but still only a short drive to Dobrich or the beaches and restaurants at Balchik. Katya was very helpful and quick to answer any questions.

Lovely quiet rural retreat
Very nice villa with everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Pool was fantastic and the outdoor space including a summer kitchen made eating outside very easy and enjoyable. Very peaceful and relaxing environment. The villa is located in quite a remote location so you definitely will need a car to explore. If you like to escape from it all in a very well equipped, comfortable villa, this is the perfect place. We had a great time, thank you.

Lovely villa to relax in and very quiet. Great private outside area with nice swimming pool which was regularly checked and cleaned.
Good location for a number of beaches and places to explore. Car needed. Villa well equipped. Owner was very helpful and the house manager was at hand if needed. Would recommend

Great Place to Enjoy
We (family with a 10 year old boy) found Villa Korona in perfect condition, just ready for relaxing holidays, embedded in the calm village of Popgrigorovo with a garden/pool offering great privacy. In app. 30 minute driving distance we enjoyed clean and nice black sea beaches, like Albena, Lighthouse beach and Balchik which is a friendly place with excellent restaurants. Kevin and his local staff were greatly supporting us from the preparation of the travel to arrval at the airport and during our stay for any request. We spent three fantastic weeks there and can absolutely recommend this property.

Lovely place for an amazingly restful stay
Really enjoyed the villa, the facilities are ideal and made for an extremely relaxing trip. Visited a few of the surrounding towns and cities, my favourite probably being Balchik. There isn't much in the village itself, other than the two local shops, but there are several supermarkets not too far away so replenishing stocks wasn't an issue. All in all really enjoyed the villa, the location and the very enjoyable family stay that we had. Would definitely (in fact I already have) recommend this villa. Sonny was very helpful on his visits to clean the pool, but also unobtrusive. The locals were all very polite and helpful, to a point that I will certainly be going back.

Great rural quiet location 20 minutes from the sea and 15 minutes to town. The host was superb, very helpful and prompt communication, assisted by an in-country host who was readily avaliable should we need her. The villa is spacious, with a very secure garden (for our dogs). It felt very secure with solid access gates and internal alarm, we had nothing to worry about. The heated pool, air-conditioning and TV streaming services (Netflix) all added to the comfort. Use the locsl butchers in Sokolovo for BBQ meat, its very cheap. We had an excellent week and wouldve extended if we could.

Great holiday
We loved this place. The villa was spacious and the pool and barbeque area were fab. There was a much needed welcome pack upon our arrival and once you realise that you are within a 20minute drive to an excellent beach (Balchik) and 15mins to the nearest 'Penny market' supermarket, you appreciate the tranquillity and seclusion of this villa. Kevin (owner) and Katya (based locally) were both very helpful and more than prepared to answer/resolve any queries we had. The locals were friendly and the wildlife, sunflower fields and copious amounts of watermelon sellers, all made for a very memorable holiday. We would recommended this villa and Bulgaria without hesitation. The great weather, cheap cost of living and beautiful countryside enabled us to fall in love with this country. If it helps, my son recorded a video on youtube... Lewiscuff Bulgaria 2014.

FAB U LUSS...!
A fantastic two weeks was had by all. Kevin, Katya and her team made our stay at the villa one to remember. Nothing was too much trouble. The villa has to be the best one we have ever stayed at and we have stayed in many villas on our travels. The house, garden and pool were immaculate. The air conditioning in each room was a god send given that most days were 30 degrees plus! Do use the village shops....an enjoyable experience. Eating out (and eating in) is incredibly cheap and the way they cook their pork and chicken will leave you drooling! Just do not expect your food to come out together but as and when it is cooked, you may be half way through your main meal when the others starters arrive – all adding to the experience that is Bulgaria. A fantastic place to stay and one that I would highly recommend

A wonderfully relaxing holiday, perfect for getting away from it all
We enjoyed a fabulous fortnight in Villa Korona with our three children. The pool and garden were beautiful, and the house had everything we needed. We made extensive use of the outside cooking area and BBQ for fantastic dinners, and ate apples and plums from the trees in the garden. The rural location of the villa was peaceful but near enough to Dobrich for supermarkets and cheap meals out, to the beautiful beach at Albena, and the marina and seafront restaurants at Balchik. We also visited the Stone Forest and Alazha Monastery which were both well worth a trip. A car was essential (we booked with George at Fusion Cars which worked really well, even with a delayed flight and a car pick up after midnight!). Even with an extremely late arrival we were met by a smiling face and a fridge with essentials so we were able to make breakfast in the morning. Kevin was very helpful during the booking process and answered all our questions very promptly. We would highly recommend Villa Korona for a restful, relaxing holiday and a chance to get away from everything. Just what we needed!

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
Too far out for us
The property was a little run down. It was in a very isolate area so a car is a must. The house next door was in the middle of refurbishment so quite a lot of banging throughout the day and they also has a few dogs that barked quite a lot. There was only a 2 ring hob so it was quite difficult to cook a meal for 5. It was also very difficult to actually find the villa as we were not given the full directions before arrival. There was a consistent bad smell in the downstairs bathroom and the air conditioning unit leaked ( quite dangerous as the television and plugs were situated underneath ) The pool was quite large but extremely cold ( quite refreshing on a hot day ) There was quite a few pool toys that came in handy. If you are looking for something very rural, this is the place for you. Thank you

Sorry to hear that some aspects weren't as you expected. I wasn't aware of any work happening next door. I'm pleased that we were able to resolve the air conditioning repair promptly when you raised it. I will follow up on your other feedback when I visit myself next week. I hope that you enjoyed Bulgaria, you had great weather.

An oasis of peace and tranquillity
A real gem of place, ideal for those wanting to recharge their batteries or "chillax" if you're a former politician. If relaxation is about a safe, comfortable, quiet location, far from the madding crowd, in the heart of the countryside, then this could be for you. Don't expect bright lights, relentless bars and clubbing, neon-lights and muzak. There's none of that: no inquisitive neighbours or even agricultural machinery in the surrounding fields; just blue sky and birdsong and time to catch up with yourself. It really is that quiet. If you are interested in "being seen at all the right places", don't bother - nobody is there to see you and no-one is looking (although I suspect you will eventually realise)! Rather, this is highly recommended for more discerning families and groups able to make their own entertainment. The villa is well-equipped with a very pleasant, walled garden, pool and separate outdoor kitchen (incl. bbq), although any more than four adults and (max.) two children would arguably be straining capacity. We would happily return and will start compiling a reading list for future visits.

relaxing family vacation
We have just spent 2 lovely weeks in Kevin's house in Pop Grigorovo.
We especially liked the beautiful big garden with the pool. There are cherry and pear trees in the garden, a superbe swimming pool, enough deckchairs for everyone, and several opportunities to lounge and sit, as well as a state-of-the-art barbecue where our teenage boys used to grill our meat. The house was very clean, not too big with two upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom as well as a downstairs bedroom with an ensuite bathroom (for guests). Since the winters apparently get very cold and humid, the latter room tends to be a little smelly. Otherwise, the kitchen is well equipped, there are several TVs (that we did not use) Wifi works perfectly, and there are enough bath towels for 8 people.
One has to really get along as a family, because if it is rainy, the house is quite small and the village is tiny...
You need to take the car wherever you go. To Balchik it's a 30 minute drive, to the next Lidl/ it's 10-15 minutes. Varna and the airport are a 50 minute drive.
Kevin was very quick in answering our questions, the couple who looks after the house was also very helpful and took us to see a vet when our dog had a health problem. Also they cleaned the house for an extra charge when we asked them to.
For a family who needs to calm down this is an ideal and peaceful place to relax, if one does not mind the driving.

Dear Beatrice and Family
Thank you for your kind review and we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We were sorry to hear your dog was unwell but glad that Katya was able to help get you to a vet swiftly to sort this out. Thank you for the comment about the downstairs bedroom - I will look into this and see if there is any underly8ing matter that needs attention. Best wishes

Das Ferienhaus befindet sich im sehr ruhigen und kleinen Dorf Popgrigorovo. Ich hatte bereits bevor der Anreise Kontakt mit dem Vermieter und mit der Hausverwalterin. Ich konnte das Haus bei Google Streetview nicht finden, aber dank der sehr guten Beschreibung des Vermieters war es letztendlich leicht zu finden.Der Gärtner, der auch deutsch gesprochen hat, hat uns bereits mit offenem Tor empfangen. Auch bei der Abreise kam er wie abgesprochen zur Schlüsselübergabe.Das Haus selbst betritt man im recht dunklen Erdgeschoss. Hier ist ein Essbrreich und eine Küchenzeile. Die Geräte waren alle gut, das Equipment war ok.Im Obergeschoss befinden sich zwei Schlafzimmer mit Balkon und ein Bad. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich uns geräumig.Das dritte Schlafzimmer befindet sich im Erdgeschoss und verfügt über ein Stockbett. Hier herrscht etwas Kelleratmosphäre, ich fand den Raum nicht so gemütlich. Das Haus punktet mit der Außenanlage. Der Pool war super, das Wasser warm und man kann an unterschiedlichen Stellen sitzen. Zudem konnte das Auto auf dem abgeschlossenen Grundstück parken. Ich hatte niemals den Eindruck, dass der Ort unsicher ist, alles war gut.Fazit: Außenanlage Top, das Haus selbst ok. Für den im Titel verwendeten Begriff Luxusvilla würde ich noch etwas mehr erwarten.Dobritsch ist gut zu erreichen, hier kann man bei Kaufland alles kaufen. Baktschik und das Meer sind 20 Km entfernt. Auch Varna ist gut zu erreichen. Die Lage war super und schön ruhig.

Super gute Betreuung durch den Vermierer und den Personen vor-Ort. Immer erreichbare Verwalterim und schnelle Reaktion des Gärtnern und Poolbetreuers. Alles problemlos gelöst wenn Fragen oder kleine Probleme aufgetreten sind. Das Grundstück ist komplett umzäunt und sollte sich damit für ein Haustier eignen. Viele Hunde in der Gegend die gerne auch in der Nacht hörbar sind. Nachbarn gibt es keine nur kleine Lauben mit Hühnern und Tauben sind vorhanden. Die Außenküche ist sehr angenehm...gutes Grillen jederzeit möglich.Insgesamt eignet es sich gut für Familien mit Kindern oder kleinere Reisegruppen.

Das Haus liegt ziemlich abseits gelegen in einem kleinen Dorf. Es ist ein großer Garten und vor allem ein Pool dabei, wenn jemand die Ruhe liebt und die 25 Minuten bis zum Strand kein Problem sind, dann ist das eine gute Option. Es gibt eine sehr nette überdachte Grillstelle, die fanden wir echt toll. Das Haus ist auch sehr gut ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht (z. B. die Küche)
