Had a Great time at the villa. Couldn't get the kids out of the pool even for dinner. Nice location to get to the local beaches, which have golden white sand. You cant go wrong if you wont to have a nice family holiday with all the comforts of home. Zoe,Frank,Sara&Jay

Comfortable and well equipped, this villa has everything you need to enjoy your stay near Varna. Beaches are nearby with fine sand and warm seas. Varna itself has plenty going on and has a great atmosphere. There's a separate apartment which may suit you well if you're in a larger group.

Great villa in a lovely village and very well equipped. Fully fitted kitchen, TV/Sky/DVD/Wi-Fi should you need, a few indoor/outdoor games, air con - prefect. Pool was really warm, garden lovely, villa really clean & well-presented. Trevor & Liz couldn't have been more helpful; always on hand to help out or offer advice before and during the holiday. They even organized a local hotel to print our boarding cards for us for the return flight! Location is great. We would recommend a car although we didn't try the local bus/taxi services which are apparently pretty good. There are a couple of small shops and a local bar within 6-800 metres. Quite a few local restaurants which are great, but not all speak English or have an English menu, so take a phrase book or smart-phone translation app. Cheap to live as well. On average we spent about 80-100 leva (£30-40) on a family meal for 5 with two courses including drinks. Local towns are great, and supermarkets are quite close. Varna is worth a few trips; nice pedestrian area for shopping, eating or just walking. Highlights of the location are. Local beaches and beach-side restaurants/bars. Varna town (either park down a side street, or at the Dolphinarium and walk through the Sea Gardens to the town). Sea Gardens in Varna. Dolphinarium in Varna (if you want to do it, book the swimming with dolphins experience before you go - we didn't and it was fully booked). scuba diving with Erica fully qualified teacher. Brilliant for first-timers/kids. On the whole we were very impressed with Bulgaria, and the weather was perfect.

We have just enjoyed a fantastic week in the Rising Sun villa. We are a family of 4 adults and 3 children and cannot praise this villa highly enough. The details sent to us beforehand by Trevor and Liz where really comprehensive and they were more than happy to be on hand to answer any questions. The villa itself is beautiful and exceptionally clean. Every little detail has been thought of, there are games and books in the cupboards and I cannot think of anything you might need which wasn't there. The villa is also disabled friendly which is a rare and welcome thing. The details of local areas of interest such as beaches and day trips are all in the villa and we enjoyed several trips into the town. We didn't have a car but the bus service is reliable and the taxis cheap. Mainly we spent days lounging by the pool (inflatables provided) and cooking from the wonderful fresh produce available in Bulgaria. We often stay in villas around Europe and this is truly one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. All in all, a wonderful week. Thanks Trevor and Liz. The Murphy family.

The Rising Sun villa is beautiful. The views of the rolling hills and the Black Sea are wonderful. The villa is incredibly well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more and was very clean when we arrived. It has large spacious rooms and floor to ceiling windows so is very light and airy. The pool is fab and the kids have loved splashing around every day. The owners Trevor and Liz have been great and have done everything they can to make our stay comfortable including providing baby monitors, cot sheets etc. The villa is incredibly suitable for families with very young and older children and has enough room for extended family too.

Firstly, we cannot praise Trevor & Liz highly enough. They were so helpful from the moment we booked our holiday right up until we arrived back home. The villa itself is perfect. It is light, airy, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The garden and pool are fantastic. We all had lots of fun and considering there were 7 of us, there was enough space to not feel as though you were on top of each other. We would highly recommend this villa if a member of your family has a disability as it has been built with this in mind, including stairlift and raised toilets. The amenities are more than adequate and it appears that Trevor & Liz have thought of everything you could possibly need during your stay. Our 5 children whos ages range from 17 to 5 always had something to occupy them whether it be a boardgame or DVD in the evening or utilising the spacious garden/pool in the day. We would suggest that it is better to have car hire, however, the buses run frequently and stop across the road from the villa so you can always get around. There is plenty of information in the villa regarding transport, eating out, beaches etc etc. This holiday was perfect...right down to the neighbours who kindly furnished us with their home grown produce and always had a cheery smile and wave. All in all, it was absolutely perfect. You MUST try this!!
