Lisets Villa

Very spacious villa with a very friendly host. Two pools: a Jacuzzi and a standard pool are nice. Very quiet location in the countryside. Additional facilities like a trampoline for the kids, ping pong table, and badminton field with the rockets are very nice additions

If the pool were deeper than 1.5m and bigger it would be better. BBQ stove is nice but the tongs are too short and difficult to operate. No microwave!

Villa Lisets is a true gem! Located in the nice village of Gorna Brestnitsa near the city of Kyustendil and at the foot of Lisets mountain it offers a great combination of easy accessibility and options for walks in the nature or in the city, while taking a good rest at the property. The villa itself offers all the amenities listed and even more: a big yard, a swimming pool with reverse flow, a hot tub, a ping-pong table, a field for volleyball or badminton. There is a big hall with a kitchen and big tables, suitable for celebrations and parties, located between the small and the big house. It's equipped with a high quality sound system with a Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi, a big-screen TV. There is also the option for karaoke if you bring your own microphones (if I remember correctly – big TRS jack, but do ask about it). On top of the hall there is a big terrace with tables and a barbecue. There is a bigger barbecue in the yard capable of accommodating three different dishes cooking at the same time, including something bigger, like a lamb for example. The rooms of both the small and the big house are comfortable, cosy and stylish. Each is equipped well with everything needed and with some sort of a heating and in some cases cooling system. If I remember correctly most if not all rooms have their own TV's. There is a water heating system powered by the sun, covering some of the house's needs (I didn't ask specifically how much), so this is an additional plus for taking care of the environment too. The view from the whole property is amazing. The house is located on a hill so there is a 360-degrees view of the nearby mountains, villages and the city. Villa Lisets is located at about an hour and a half from Sofia with a car. You can also get to Kyustendil by bus (~1,5 hrs) or train. But you have to make sure you have transportation from the railway/ bus station to the villa, since it's ~6,5km away.

We liked everything, there was nothing wrong with the property. I am just using this field, since I reached the word limit of the previous one, to say that the host was really nice and helpful to us and showed us everything we needed. And even though we unfortunately had to change our arrival time several times and in the end we still got to the place 15 to 30 minutes late, he didn't say a thing, besides only keeping in touch with us throughout the day. Keep in mind there are two more guest houses nearby and there might be parties happening there. It was not the case this time, but I guess it is possible to hear noise from the other properties if your stay coincides with something bigger.

wonderful pool and garden; very helpful owner
