Apartments for Rent in Bulgaria

Filed Under Travel and Leisure 

Recent analysis shows the following information about holiday apartments in Bulgaria. The observations were drawn from a database compiled from the top three websites advertizing holiday rentals in Bulgaria.  

1. There are close to 1000 holiday apartments for rent throughout Bulgaria. By early indications, there hasn’t been a jump in holiday apartment offers in the last few months since the global crisis began. There will, however, most likely be an increase in the offers of holiday rentals since individual investors are staring to generate investment returns from their properties.

2. Most the apartments are concentrated in three main resorts – Bansko which is a ski destination and Sunny Beach and St. Vlas that are on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Bansko and Sunny Beach combined account for about 60 percent of all holiday apartments available for rent.

3.The greatest number of offers are for one bedroom holiday apartments. These usually are designed to accommodate 4 people. Two people sleep in a standard bedroom and two more on a sleeper sofa in the living room. One bedroom apartments account for more than two thirds of all available apartments for rent. Most of the remaining 30 percent are studios. Therefore, the offers are mostly for a single family or for a couple. Bigger groups would have a tougher time finding properties to accommodate them.

4. One bedroom apartments in Sunny Beach rent out for about 300 euro in the high season. This is July and August. The low season from May to June and then September offer discounts of about 15-20 percent.

5. Rental prices are similar in St. Vlas and a bit cheaper in Varna and Nessebar. The difference is about a fifth of the price.

6. There is substantial variation between the rental prices of similar apartments in the same resort. For example, one bedroom apartments range from about 200 euro per week in St.Vlas to about 400 euro per week. Tourists should do a thorough search and will probably find a good deal.
