•  LOCATION:

Villa Kalin is located in the vicinity of Kilifarevo monastery, known as a centre of  Tarnovo Literary School during the First Bulgarian Kingdom, and is only 12 km away from the old capital city of Veliko Turnovo.  The Belitsa river, a tributary to the Yantra river runs through the small and scenic village of Natsovtsi. The first slopes of the Balkan mountains (Stara planina) rise here. The proximity to the international road E85 provides fast and convenient transport communication with the nearby city of Veliko Turnovo and other parts of the country.    

• HOW TO GET TO THE VILLA:

Veliko Turnovo is situated almost in the centre of Bulgaria and is about 200 km away from Bulgaria’s major cities - Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv and Bourgas which have international airports. Romania’s capital Bucharest is even closer, 170 km, and has two international airports and cheap flights to many European cities. Veliko Turnovo boasts excellent rail and road communications with all these cities. Bus connections to Varna and Sofia are particularly easy with buses running every 30 or 60 minutes.

To arrive in Natsovtsi, take the main road Veliko Turnovo- Stara Zagora. Pass through the small town of Kilifarevo and then watch out for the road sign for Natsovtsi and Kilifarevo monastery. Drive to the left of the main road and you will be in Natsovtsi after about 0,5 km. Driving to the monastery, after another 0,5 km to the left, you will see Villa Kalin. You can see the map here
