Balkan Heights Complex – Apartments for rent with panoramic views in Bansko
Basic description and current status
Balkan Heights is a residential complex of apartments located in the highest area of Bansko. It is important to specify that the site does not function as a classic hotel with a single management. The building consists of private properties that are rented individually. The design is traditional for the region, combining wood and stone. The choice of this site is suitable for tourists who are looking for budget accommodation and do not care about hotel service.
Location
Critical location advice: The complex is located on a steep hill. Access on foot in winter is difficult without proper footwear or a 4×4 vehicle, as the streets in the area often remain icy.
The location in the upper part of the city provides silence and fresh air. The panorama of the Pirin peaks and the city is one of the best in Bansko, which is the main trump card of the complex.
