Beyond the villa

Amazing spot not only for families but also for friends gatherings! Villa Krasi is situated in a quiet and highly desirable location, conveniently close to Blagoevgrad. The property offers excellent amenities, including a well-maintained spa, a modern jacuzzi, and a spacious garden surrounding the entire house. Guests can also enjoy a dedicated barbecue area, ideal for outdoor gatherings. The villa is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. The host is attentive and continuously works on improving both the facilities and the overall environment for guests. There was nothing that I didn't enjoy about my experience.

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. The service provided by the owners was outstanding — they were extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. A special mention to Vasilis, who was excellent.

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.
