Accommodation and Travel Bulgaria
In the Rhodope Mountains we have the sole use of a luxury Villa in the village of Gela. Each room enjoys spectacular views and provides a luxurious bed, ample space for relaxation and the warmth of a wood-burning fireplace.
• The spacious living and dining room is at the heart of the house, a place to enjoy superb cooking by the villa’s private chef, afternoon tea brewed from local medicinal herbs, or get-togethers with local musicians and artists.
• Between painting trips you can benefit from the luxury spa which has an indoor swimming pool, massage area and steam room, a yoga corner and a small gym for rigorous or relaxing exercise.
• The terraced gardens provide 180 degrees panoramic views of the Rhodope Mountains from which we paint on our first day.
