Beyond the villa

The Region

The villa sits in the southwest corner of Bulgaria, where the Rila and Pirin mountains meet. Most of the region's best-known sites are within an hour's drive, which makes the house a practical base for day trips as well as a place to come back to. A car is the easiest way to reach them.

40 min drive

Rila Monastery

The largest and most visited monastery in Bulgaria, founded in the 10th century and listed by UNESCO. Its painted galleries and mountain courtyard are worth half a day.

The Host

Vasil — host of Villa Krasi

Villa Krasi was built by Vasil Angelov, who spent years living and working in the United States and the Netherlands before coming home to the mountains above Blagoevgrad. He built the house on family land, with the idea of a place that could hold three generations at once — a sauna and fireplace for the adults, a trampoline and swings for the children, and quiet enough that everyone sleeps well. He still hosts every stay himself, and he speaks English as easily as Bulgarian.

Renting directly from Vasil is not the same as booking an anonymous listing. He answers his own messages, meets guests when they arrive, and knows the region well enough to say which trail is worth the drive and which restaurant in Melnik to call ahead. Years abroad taught him what international guests expect, and the house was built around it. If something is needed during your stay, you talk to the person who owns the place.

“New, clean, cozy villa with excellent facilities such as the sauna — you do not find one very often in vacation homes. Vasil was one of the most welcoming hosts we have ever had!” Airbnb guest — March 2024

Everything was perfect. The villa is located in a beautiful area with an amazing view. The accommodation was very clean and offered rich amenities that made our stay truly comfortable.

Daria — Poland — July 2025
We had a wonderful stay with the whole family at Villa Krasi. The children loved the jacuzzi and the spacious yard where they could run and play. We really enjoyed the terrace and the stunning view over the mountains and the town — beautiful at any time of day. The terrace is perfectly equipped for relaxing. The house has everything you might need. Each room has a working air conditioner, which was especially important given the heat. The internet connection was flawless. The host is very kind, responsive, and quick to reply to any request.
