Nice relaxing stay at a very nice villa.

This is an awesome villa with outstanding views.

Klima Anlage nicht in allen Räumen einstellbar Bäder nicht ausreichend für 10 Personen Geschirrspüler viel zu klein zu wenig Teller Tassen ect. Aber die Aussicht und der Hausmeister waren unschlagbar

We highly recommend Villa Elysia for anyone looking for a place in the beautiful coast of Bulgaria. As has been noted by previous reviews, the villa is spacious, clean and well equipped. The seaview from both the pool and indoors and terraces is breathtaking. We spent 2,5 weeks in villa Elysia and could not get enough of the place. The air conditioning is very well functioning. The pool is really nice, clean and spacious. But perhaps above all, what made our stay really special was the hospitality of Mitko and George, they were extremely helpful, caring and it was very easy to communicate with them, as well as with Elizabeth early on before the stay. There is something special about this Sozopol area, and during our weeks in the end of June and early July it was not crowded at all, so it was wonderful to explore the area. A special recommendation for the restaurant Doctor's house in the northern side of the old town, the most spectacular seafront location and the food was one of the best we've had. There are several great beaches nearby (within a few minutes of car-ride), search for your own favourite as they all have a different vibe and character to them, as well as different kind of sand (if you have kids interested in sand-play). Through the nearby fish restaurant you can access a beach from which you can do a short swim or snorkel to access a small secluded beach. Thank you Elizabeth, Mitko and George, for a truly wonderful stay!

Lovely villa with everything you could need, in a truly fantastic location with beautiful views. Both George and Mitko were very helpful, thanks guys!

Die Villa ist sehr groß und entspricht den Bildern vollkommen. Sie ist sauber und gut ausgestattet (Handtücher, Decken, etc..). Egal ob im Pool, auf der Terrasse oder auf den Balkonen - der Ausblick aufs Meer ist jeden Tag aufs Neue atemberaubend schön! (Wir konnten ebenfalls Delfine beobachten). Der Pool ist groß, tief und hat eine angenehme Temperatur. Der Strand ist 15 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt und auch schön. Die Guides kümmerten sich sehr gut um uns und waren zu jeder Zeit erreichbar, holten uns vom Flughafen ab und brachten uns dort wieder hin - dazu gab‘s noch einen Van für die Woche (für 7 Personen) - das nenne ich Service! Wir sparten uns Dank ihnen viel Stress. Die Villa ist wärmstens zu empfehlen, wir werden sie wieder buchen!

Great armament and lots of space to enjoy and relax. Staff was super helpful. Shops are 2km away so car would be great during stay.

We had a fantastic stay at hotel Elysia. The villa was everything we imagined and more. Very clean & spacious with breathtaking panoramic views from most rooms in the villa. All mod cons & all rooms were clean & bright. The outside space & pool area was more than enough & the pool was lovely & deep. Would highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed although hiring a car is a must which you can do through George. He was very helpful & due to us arriving late at night made sure we had stuff for breakfast the 1st morning. 5* all the way & i shall be returning. Well done all involved with this wonderful villa

We stayed for one week in Villa Elysia with a group of 11 persons (8 adults, 3 children including 1 baby). We really enjoyed the stay, the villa is spacious and luxury and the swimming pool and views on the Black Sea are great! Communication with the owner before our trip was excellent, she responded very quickly and even arranged some extra baby cots and chairs for our group. During our stay we had a small problem with one of the boilers, this was fixed within 2 hours after having contact with Mitko (the local contact person). The Sozopol area was a little disappointing with regard to tourism activities, but in summer it is probably more interesting. All in all we had a great stay at Villa Elysia and we can definitely recommend this accommodation!

We had a great time - 8 of us stayed for 10 days, the views are breathtaking, the pool is awesome - facilities great. Would recommend

Lovely clean villa with good sized rooms and plenty of towels. The local agents were efficient and told us all we needed to know although a file of local attractions / facilities in the villa would have been useful to have. Restaurant Yanka (almost next door) is brilliant as are the Green Life facilities at the far end of the local beach. Most public beaches seem to have life-guards who control access to the sea appropriately. The water park at Pomorie, north of Burgas, is well worth a visit but not for the feint hearted. We loved the pool at the villa but be aware that the pool is deep (1.8 to 2.0m) which is fine for strong swimmers but smaller children and weaker swimmers may not be able to stand the bottom. There were nine of us and we struggled to fit around the table to eat together. Outdoor furniture is good and the sunshades a godsend. The new BBQ is brilliant and provided our main form of cooking for the two weeks we were there. A dining area around the BBQ would be a great addition. The little beach at Yanka is far more accessible than the small cove and is to be recommended. If you are heading south, we found that Kiten is much nicer than Primorsko. Old Sozopol is lovely and was preferred by all of us to the newer commercial bits. The tourist train, 2 lev each, is well worth trying - though it only goes as far as the stadium in Sozopol. Because of our flights we drove from Sofia to Sozopol, a long featureless journey which has little to recommend it. Overall, we had a great two weeks and came away with many happy memories.

We had a great stay in this wonderful villa. The guys who manage it there were really helpful and gave us some great local information. The Villa is very close to a wonderful beach and a short drive from Sozopol town (10 Mins). Best restaurant by far was the Veranda Restaurant looking over the very left hand side of the beach in Sozopol new town ( Left as you look out to sea.) We would definitely recommend this villa and the area although it is a quiet picturesque local resort.

We were a family group of 7, and enjoyed a fabulous week at this Villa. The location is perfect, wonderful views, close to the beach and very peaceful. The Villa is spacious and modern, with a well equipped kitchen. The Air Con, helped keep the house lovely and cool. We all loved the swimming pool, no shallow end though, so you'd have to be careful with young children, but it was perfect for us. Lots of sun loungers, shame we couldn't lie on the wooden ones though, as without the cushions they were very hard! There's a great little beach just off the track, we spent lots of time there snorkelling. The beach at Apolonia was lovely, sandy and warm, shallow waters. Nice beach bars there too. Eating out is incredibly cheap, although the service can be somewhat strange. Starters sometimes appear after your main course, and some of us could have finished our meal before others had even been served. It all added to the entertainment though. Our only criticism is, It would have been really helpful if there was some information in the villa, such as maps, restaurant suggestions, what time the little train ran, places to visit, or maybe a guest book, whereby previous guests can leave recommendations and suggestion. The bedding could be improved, duvet cover as bottom sheet and duvet cover as a top sheet, caused a night time tug of war with my husband, as it didn't quite fit the bed! Overall though it was Fabulous and would gladly return.

The villa was amazing. There were 11 of us from different countries with different standards. We all loved it. Kitchen is big and equipped for probably 20 people. Pool is big and deep so plenty of fun for adults and kids. Plenty of towels, beach chairs for us to enjoy great weather. It was in 100 degrees F or 40 in C but the house stayed cool. Small rocky beach by the pier is beautiful and truly private. We spent almost most of our time there. You can snorkel and pick your own mussels for dinner and book it on the grill. If you want commercial experience Appolonia Beach is within walking distance. You can rent jet skis and various other beach activities there. Massages are only $20 for an hour there. There are few small grocery stores within walking distance and amazing fruit stands. People are friendly and welcoming. Larger Supermarket is in town. Sozopol itself is very friendly tourist town with ton of restaurants around. You can get a great meal by the beach at 3 am in the morning with live entertainment. George will arrange pick ups and drop offs from and to airport if needed. It's also easy to rent a car in town. Parking is paid in town but only $1 per hour. Shopping is great especially in old town. Aqua parks are about an hour away and are comparable or even better than typical US ones. Kids loved it.

Visited the Villa Elysia once again in June and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Villa still has everything to offer.The weather was good and we explored the surrounding area and found great Roman remains in Sozopol old town. We noticed a marked improvement to the beach in Apollonia since our last visit and the Beach Bars now seem to cater for a more up market clientele and the beach lifeguards are in evidence. The Flora and Fauna is amazing and too much to mention...but I will say much to my delight I spotted dolphins every evening at 6pm feeding in the Bay... A great place to relax

Excellent place that i rented for my holiday with my family. I recomend it to everyone who wants to spend calm and quiet holiday with family or friends. The owner is honest, and the villa corresponds to its description and photos. thanks again

We visited Villa Elysia for the second time July 2013 and once again this has left us with such a good impression of the Villa and Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. The Villa is perfect for families and couples and is a great base for exploring. This is a luxury Villa with everything catered for. Eating out is cheap but if you prefer to self-cater the kitchen is a dream to use with everything you would want (even a dishwasher so no washing up!) There is every conceivable dish and utensil for your use and plenty of dry foodstuff in the cupboards for making some great dishes (we replaced some of the spices etc for the next visitors to keep the store cupboard up to scratch). For eating out there are restaurants near Apollonia beach and a vast selection in Sozopol and the Old Town. Plenty of clean towels and bedding are provided. There is also a wall mounted flat screen TV with satelite channels if you want to watch TV and also DVD and CD player. The grounds of the Villa are beginning to mature and the roses are doing well. The swimming pool is truly wonderful and immaculate and so welcome in such hot weather. The pool maintenance people came and cleaned the pool and checked everything was okay whilst we were there which is reassuring to know that the pool is well maintained. The pool area has sunbeds and sun shades which are necessary in the heat of the day, we’ve not had a cloudy day here! We visited the beaches in Sozopol and Apollonia beach which is a short walk away and they are clean and litter free. The supermarkets are also within walking distance and but the best one is in nearby Sozopol for fresh baked bread, fruit and veg. I highly recommend a visit to Villa Elysia. It’s luxurious, relaxing and a fabulous place to re-charge your batteries. The nearby town of Sozopol has nightclubs and discos for youngsters but the villa is situated in an oasis of calm and tranquilty. Perfect.

The photos don t do justice to this villa the views are breath taking. As it stands in an elevated position the pool is like an infinity pool. There were eight of us, my husband and I plus our three sons and girlfriends and we all enjoyed the tranquility. We enjoyed walking to the beach and also to Sozopol.It was useful having basics in the cupboard which you could replace if anything was forgotten at the supermarket. I would say a great choice for a large party as the villa is very spacious.

We were a party of 10, 3 families with small children, and I must say the place couldnt have been more suited for our demands! The house is perfectly save and well equipped with anything needed (even baby cots), the A/C, the beautiful kitchen, the rooms with the astonishing views, and, of course, the pool!!!! We all definitely fell in love with the house, the peace and quiet, and the beautiful beaches in the near by! We rented cars, cause the sandy beach is not so close, and the supermarket is not in within walking distance, anyway, anything needed takes 5 minutes drive! The Apolonia beach is really beautiful, with warm, crystal clear water, the center of Sozopol is worth a visit, and the restaurants serve more than decent food at very affordable prices. We were a bit surprised that hardly anybody speaks English, but they really try, and they can be very helpful. I strongly recommend this place to anyone thinking of expending the holidays in Bulgaria. As a bulgarian acquaintance told us: this is the Beverly Hills of Bulgaria

I highly recommend this as a holiday destination as it is a great place to get away from the rat race and recharge your batteries.  There is any number of things that you can do here should you want to, kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing, diving, shopping, clubbing ... I could go on. We found the villa to be a perfect base for doing what we wanted to do. In my case I like to stay active, so regular early evening swimming on the beach for an hour or so ticked my boxes. The beach itself is clean, un-crowded and perfect for getting a suntan if that's your thing.    The villa itself is also a great place to just "stay put". It's well equipped and spacious. There is a mini supermarket a short walk away and loads of good restaurants nearby. Restaurants and bars are not expensive and there is a great selection of street food available near the beach and in Sozopol. During our stay in mid July the temperatures stayed at around the mid 30's, so having a swimming pool to hand to cool off in was an absolute treat and very refreshing. Normally I can't wait to get out and explore, but this is the first time that I've been to a place where aside from swimming, all I wanted to do was just sit and take it all in. By this I mean the views, which are out of this world and very peaceful. In short the villa imparted a feeling of relaxation upon me which was much needed and something that stayed with me for a week or two after leaving.  Getting there is a breeze from London Luton and the drive from Burgas airport to front door is about 40 minutes. Stress free and easy. If you are inclined to shopping, Burgas has some arcades and all the usual shops that you would expect from a city. As a man, This has no real appeal to me, but your wife/girlfriend may feel like dragging you in sometime. This happened to me and I'm pleased to say was painless. In short I had a great time with all my friends. We all managed to do what we wanted as the villa is a great base for any number of diverse activities. Also it was very easy on the bank balance. Bulgaria is not an expensive country and the villa’s rent when divided between the 8 of us was much cheaper than a hotel. We're going back to do a PADI diving course. We just didn't have time this visit.

We have just returned from the Villa Elysia in Sozopol and didn't want to leave and we would love to return again someday.The Villa is very well positioned for the beach and the town of Sozopol with a local supermarket close by. The description of the Villa was accurate and exeeded our expectations. We found it spacious very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped with all the modern appliances which is clean and easy to use. All rooms at the front have the most spectacular views of the sea and the rooms at the rear have side views of the sea which is wonderful to wake up to every morning. There are plenty of towels and bedding and we didn't want for anything. The gardens are well laid out and also well maintained. The pool is superb and there are several sunbeds to choose from all in fab colours and there is also plenty of shade should your require it. There are also canoes to use with safety jackets for those wanting to venture out into the sea The weather was very hot when we were there and the air con was fantastic. There are also mosquito nets on all the windows and doors which was great. During our stay we walked to the beach several times and is was about 20 mins away and there you can find a sandy beach which is clean with warm clear blue water there are also plenty of places to eat and drink. On the beach you will find several life guards on duty for safe bathing..We bought a sun brolly for the beach which was cheap but you can hire sunbeds and sun shade if you prefer. All in all I would highly recommend the Villa for it's superb location the sheer quality of the Villa, magnificent views,the pool and much more
