My Borovets, Bulgaria apartment is now available for rent for winter ‘10.

Borovets has got the lot and is in the top visited ski resorts in Bulgaria. It is Bulgaria’s first ski resort, dating from the 19th century when it was only known to an exclusive few. Set amidst the majestic forest-clad Rila Mountains, once a hunting ground for Bulgarian Kings, Borovets is now internationally renowned. There are lots of bars and cafes, and these along with the many clubs make après-ski a real attraction.
