Huts & Villas

Mountain Hut "Belasitsa"

The commonly accepted translations for mountain accommodations in Bulgaria are, in my opinion, seriously misleading. The mountain “huts” have little in common with what I think of when I hear “hut.” The one in Belasitsa had an outdoor play area, bus parking, rooms with in suite bathroom/showers, a restaurant/café open all day with plenty of presentation space for 40 kids, and wireless internet. Villas, on the other hand, are typically small, family owned, rustic, cabins used for storing supplies for summer picnics or garden work, especially if cultivated land is located a distance from town. They might have tables, chairs, cutlery, etc and space for a few people to sleep in case of rain, a long day of work, or an especially draining na gosti.
