The villa is very nice, very well maintained, and is great for a large family or group of friends. Also, Paul allowed us to bring our dog which was one of the main things. We had a great and relaxing time with our big family. The village is quiet and peaceful, a short drive to the beach and Obzor. We loved it and will be back :)

We had a lovely stay in the beautiful villa. It is very spacious with great atmosphere. The beach is a 10 minute drive away. The village experience is priceless, we bought our vegetables from the neighbours and fresh sheep’s milk and cheese were available. Do not expect shops or supermarkets, but a true agro-tourism way of life with the luxury of the beautiful villa with a large swimming pool and garden around.

This is our second visit to Holland house and it was spectacular as the last time, an amazing house with a great pool in a quiet location but only 20 mins to sunny beach or obzor The beach at vaya is a must it’s clean and the staff at the beach front bar are amazing. If you want a lovely villa in a great location this is for you!!

There where 6 of that stayed in the villa 4 adults and 2children. It is gorgeous place to stay so peaceful with great views of the mountains. We all had great fun in the pool everyday and it contained everything you needed. Met some great expats that live in the village when visiting the local bar where Paul the owner also came and met us who was very helpful and a joy to meet. It is situated in a great location I would recommend staying here for all ages.

Very nice swiming pool

The Villa is beautiful and incredibly peaceful! We stayed with 3 teenagers and there was more than enough room for them all to have their own space. A short walk up the road there is a local bar that is very friendly and super cheap. The food isn't anything to write home about but it's a busy little place with great atmosphere. If you want a relaxing break doing nothing then this is the place for you. The nearest town is Obzor and is about a 15 min drive - this has lovely restaurants and beach. If you prefer to be closer to the action (the supermarket, water parks and nightlife) they're about 40 mins in the other direction so you might want somewhere closer to Sunnybeach or Nessebar.

Comfortable and spacious accommodation. Loved the pool and outside area. There were 9 of us so we'd hire a local mini-bus for very reasonable rates and also very obliging. The buses are small and often too full for 9 of us .We hired the bus to go to Nessebar which is well worth a visit and would also hire it to take us and pick us up when we went for our evening meal to the nearest town. The local bar does some nice food but the only potatoes on offer were chips and the only accompaniment was salad so you wouldn't want to be eating there every night .Lesley & Chris were very friendly and helpful and easy to contact with any queries. Local beach lovely with a cooling breeze on a very hot day. Ideal for large groups who want to get- away -from -it -all.

Just had a great two weeks in Banya. Lovely villa, needs updating soon as there are a few cracks stating to appear. It could do with a dishwasher and as we were there for two weeks it would have been nice to have the beds changed and the bathrooms cleaned, as it was, we had to do it ourselves. The pool also looked a bit green by the end. Saying that, we did have a fantastic time and these points are just pointers. Lots of room for 2 families to not get on top of one another, upstairs sitting area and balcony great extra spaces. People in the village were really friendly, go and see Evo at the tortoise rescue centre round the corner and there is a fruit stand 2 mins walk away. Beware of the drivers, they are bonkers! Beautiful Vaya beach only 5 mins away, both bars serve great food and cheap compared to UK - 9 of us had 3 courses and drinks for £100! Thanks Paul, Chris and Lesley.

There were 6 of us; my husband, myself our 20 and 19 year old and two of their friends. The villa was spacious enough so that we never felt on top of each other. Banya was a lovely little village and had a warm breeze which meant the sun didn't feel too hot. However it was a short ride to the nearest beach (or about an hour walk) and Obzol was not far away. Lesley and Chris, who look after the villa, made us very welcome and helped out with any questions. I would recommend this villa for a quiet holiday where you can relax, swim and read lots of books. It was perhaps a little remote for some of the younger element but they did manage a night out in Sunny Beach!

Nine of us comfortably stayed at the villa for one week. We were met by Lesley the manager at the bar in the village with no problem. She was very helpful, gave us useful information about places to eat and shop, and made sure we could contact her at any time in case of problem. The property is fully furnished and has everything we needed – including rubber rings, boat for the pool and a wii. The outside space is lovely with lots of room so we were never on top of each other. We had room to play badminton in the garden, whilst others were in the pool, and the rest sunbathing on the patio without disturbing each other. Beds are comfortable and showers hot. The wi-fi did drop in and out regularly but that seems to be a Bulgarian thing and not the villa. The villa is located in a lovely, quiet village up in the mountains. The view looks across to a large forest with only a smattering of buildings even visible and feels really remote even though it’s not. The center of the village is only 2 minutes’ walk away with a small shop and bar/restaurant, meaning you don’t need to travel very far for essentials or a drink. The owners of the bar are very welcoming and the food incredibly cheap, but as you would expect, the menu is limited so you probably wouldn’t want to eat there every day. There isn’t much else in the village and whilst there are buses and taxi’s, transport would be advisable in order to visit the beach or a larger supermarket. About a 5 minute drive away is the beautiful Vaya beach. We did also visit the restaurant above the beach which is well worth eating at, both for the view and the food. If you want watersports then Obzor is 12-15 minutes away. The beach there is also very nice, and the resort has a much larger choice of restaurants and bars. Overall, we would recommend the villa as a great place for a holiday.
