       Bulgarian holiday rental cottage - near the black sea resort of Varna

Welcome to our holiday home  web site  for our cottage to rent at Rakitnika, just south of the Black Sea resort of Varna, Bulgaria, ideal for a relaxing holiday or to use as a base to explore the black sea coastal area

This newly furnished and completely refurbished detached cottage is situated in the delightful coastal village of Rakitnika, on the black sea, and only 12 kms (7.5 miles) from Varna - The Sunshine Capital of Bulgaria - and easily reached by road. Varna is ideal for shopping, eating out, and sightseeing in its beautiful cathedral or one of its many other historic buildings. The cottage is situated in a “villa zone” with both holiday cottages and traditional homes with vegetable patches and fruit laden trees, surrounded by greenery and forests, but within easy reach of natural sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.

The trellis has grapes in the summer

The two bedroomed attractive cottage boasts stunning views of the countryside all around and the 600 Sq. metre garden is full of fruit trees, rosebushes and a pretty trellis overhead with grapevines. Please feel free to help yourself to the abundant fruit and veg !

Downstairs the lounge/diner has an extendable table and 4 chairs and a huge panoramic window, thus enabling you to dine whilst enjoying the breathtaking view. There is UK satellite TV, a 3 piece suite which converts to a small double sofa bed and a fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, cooker and hob and fridge/freezer. For cooler evenings you can  enjoy the wood burning fire which add to the cosy atmosphere. (There are also oil heaters).  The bathroom is fully tiled and has a shower, washbasin and W.C..

Upstairs there is a large bedroom with a king size bed, double wardrobe with full length mirror, chest of drawers and two bedside cabinets, providing ample storage space. The smaller bedroom has bunk beds with more storage space and a bedside cabinet.

The spacious balcony upstairs provides a magnificent view which stretches for miles. It is an ideal place to enjoy a drink or have a barbecue whilst watching the sun go down.

English breakfast  and evening barbecue parties are available if required at our English friends guest house, only 5 minutes walk away. Information is provided in the cottage of how to book etc.

Within approximately a 20 minutes walk you will find beautiful unspoilt beaches. One of which has a snack bar and couple of stalls selling beach ware and “essentials”. The walk to the beaches are through a forest which separates the beach from the main road, (there is also access via a beach road). It is a lovely walk but we do advise that you consider the journey back, as it is on an uphill slope!

On the corner of the neighbouring lane,(about 5 minutes walk), by the main road, there is a local shop selling essentials and a café selling ice cream and cooked snacks. From the road you can take the bus to Varna which is approximately a 20 minute journey, or, if you walk around another ten minutes there are local bars which sell snacks, and another local food shop. Should you not wish to hire a car, the reliable bus stops along the main road which has several restaurants before its journey into Varna. Eating out is very cheap, around £8 for a meal for two with wine, though slightly more expensive in Varna. There are also several shops in the area selling delicious fresh local produce. In Varna, at the market behind the Cathedral, all the “designer names” can be found for a fraction of the real thing.

Bulgaria is an ideal holiday location, with hours of sunshine in the summer, sandy beaches and blue seas, as well as historical buildings and beautiful countryside.
