Hi Tina, I just wanted to thank you, and Vessy, for all your assistance in making our stay at Villa Sentinela a wonderful experience. Having safely arrived at Varna Vessy led the way to the villa and was most helpful in her desire for us to enjoy our time in Bulgaria and resolve any concerns we may have had.
Bulgaria is a truly beautiful country. Vessy kindly supplying us with a road map once we told her we wanted to explore the area, although I think to start with she was a bit bemused by our plans. We travelled in land and visited Veliko Tarnovo, the open-air museum at Etar, the living museum at Tryavna, Bacho Kiro Cave, assorted monasteries, and explored the edges of the Balkan Range. During our stay we also visited Dobrich, Pobiti Kamani, Varna city, Aladzha Monastery, Kavarna, Tuzlata and of course the Palace and Gardens in Balchik. We even went to Albena, but in all honesty that wasn't really the kind of place we enjoy.
The villa exceeded our expectations in it's comfort and facilities. Most evenings we walked to Balchik town along the sea front for our evening meal, enjoying a different restuarant each night, always delighting in the superb foods. We only ate at the villa for breakfast having stocked up with lots of delicious honey, fresh fruits bought from the roadside and meats and cheeses from the supermarket. We loved every minute of our 2 week stay and our only regret is we couldn't stay longer to explore more of Bulgaria and experience it's beauty and extremely friendly people. I hope Bulgaria doesn't get too over developed over the next few years and that it always retains the beauty, charm and innocence that I fell in love with.
Thank you again for a lovely holiday. Should you speak with Vessy prehaps you would be kind enough to once more pass on our thanks to her too. Fondest regards
