Introduction

The Stara Zagora region and Kazanlak area are rich in history and cultural attractions as well as offering beautiful scenery and many sporting facilities and mineral spa resorts. You can visit Roman ruins, Neolithic houses, Shipka Monument and Thracian King Tombs, or walk or cycle the numerous mountain trails, go fishing, sailing and wind-surfing in the summer and skiing in the winter. You can visit Stara Zagora Mineral spa resort, Yagoda mineral spa pool or Pavel Banya for massages, treatments and soak in the mineral pools, world renowned for their healing properties.

TheRentalBug offers Bulgarian houses for rent either for short holiday stays or for long term let. Renting a Bulgarian property for a longer period is a great way to experience life in Bulgaria prior to committing to buying a property in Bulgaria. I offer self catering holiday properties in Bulgaria and long term let in Bulgaria. 

By staying in a fully renovated Bulgarian village house you get all the creature comforts of home and modern living but at the same time can experience life in a typical Bulgarian village; watch the goats wander home early evening, BBQs on peaceful summer nights, sit round the open fire or wood burning stove (Pechka) in the winter and generally unwind and get away from it all. Yet you are still only a 15 to 20 minutes drive from Stara Zagora city centre with all amenities like large supermarkets, numerous restaurants, Opera house, museums, fitness centres and so on and 15 minutes from Kazanlak and the Valley of the Roses and Thracian King Tombs.

I can offer apartments for rent in Bulgaria in a renovated Bulgarian village house, a four bedroom Bulgarian village house or a self catering holiday property in Bulgaria. 

The village where these Bulgarian rental properties are has a couple of shops selling the basics, a small bar and local restaurant. The villagers are lovely and friendly and it is not unusual for them to give you a gift of a cabbage or tomatoes or fruit from their garden. Or maybe some homemade wine or Rakia.

In the summer, you can spend your days around one of the many mineral spa pools close by, having BBQs, walking and cycling in the mountains and visiting Lake Koprinka. In the winter, you can go for a days skiing or snowboarding on the local slopes at Buzludzha, visit museums and pass time sampling local dishes in cosy little Mehanas (restaurants).

I offer short stays in a lovely little 2 bedroom cottage with a separate guest annex (great for 2 or 3 couples or a larger family). Come for 3 or 4 days or a week or two and enjoy sitting out in the sun, walking, swimming, fishing or exploring the many tourist attractions and historical sights round about. The property is renovated to a high  standard and made to feel homely. All bedding and towels are provided as well as the basics such as bread, jam, tea bags, coffee, milk, sugar etc. And we are on hand close by to recommend local restaurants, places to go and help you settle in.

Or for those thinking of moving to Bulgaria I offer a number of longer term letting options so that you can get a true feel for Bulgaria and make sure you are making the right decision for you. Furnished and unfurnished properties are available and pets are no problem.

The Stara Zagora region is relatively undiscovered by tourists, despite the wealth of historical and cultural attractions and the fantastic scenery of the Balkans and Sredna Gora mountains close by. Why not experience a different kind of holiday and a different area of Bulgaria, away from the noise, over development and over crowded places like Sunny Beach, Golden Sands or Bansko. Days trips to Plovdiv, Veliko Turnovo or Burgas or Sofia are all easily possible from here by car or coach.
