In the years since its founding, Borovets grew when prominent Bulgarian families - seeking beauty and calm within easy reach of the capital - built villas and chalets in this exclusive enclave for their year-round private use. Of the more than 320 villas built in Borovets, several were put up in the 1920s by members of the Stresov family of Sofia. One of these gems was the lovely Villa Stresov.

Borovets' Only 5-Star Villa Accommodations

Villa Stresov was rebuilt in 1996 as a five-star luxury property by the Bulgarian-American family of Marianne Djidrova Nielsen, a granddaughter of the Stresovs, and Philip R. Nielsen, her husband, in its original Swiss style used 70 years earlier.

Committed to the Best in Bulgarian Vacation Accommodations

The new generation of owners is committed to providing the very best in Bulgarian vacation accommodations, service and memorable holiday experiences, thus carrying on with pride their forebearers' grand tradition of hospitality.

We graciously invite you to enjoy the Bulgarian Villa's splendor and uniqueness in a wondrous, year-round alpine setting designed for discriminating travelers.
