The Bell Tower Apartment

Commonly Asked Questions:

 

Q: Do we need passports to visit Bulgaria?
A. Yes, you need a valid passport to visit Bulgaria and return to your country of origin.

 

Q. What is the local currency?

A. Since joining the EU the country is officially using the Euro as well as the traditional Leva. In reality everyone in town takes cash, preferably Leva. Some restaurants and businesses will exchange Euro for you but the exchange rate is infinitely better at the bank. There is a bank in the Resort with a 24 hour ATM where you can get Leva very easily. 

Q: What should we pack?
A: We would recommend very warm clothing for winter and lightweight gear for the summer months. The resort has a pool and spa so you may want to bring swimwear. Casual evening wear is usually appropriate.

Q: What is the required length of stay?
A: One week in peak seasons, or 3 nights for the remainder of the year.

Q: Does a weekly rental always start on the same day each week?
A: We prefer you to start on a Saturday but we will be flexible about the start days.

Q: When is 'In Season' and 'Off Season'
?
A: The Ski Season runs from mid-December until the end of March. The summer season from Early April until early September. Christmas and New Year, along with Spring half-term are very popular times to visit Bansko so we would recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.


Q: Are the rates per person or for the entire apartment?
A: The rates are for the entire apartment sleeping 6-8. Depending on the season, we may be able to reduce the rate for a smaller party.

Q: Will I be safe in Bansko?

Q: Who pays for the taxi and will I be met?
A. Transfers are not included in the rental fees. Taxis can be arranged for any size of party and you will settle with the driver. You may want to book in both directions and pay when you are dropped back at the airport. Taxi details are listed on the optional extras page to allow you make reservations in advance
