Appartement design avec spa et vue sur les montagnes à Bansko

Traduire en Français

We are home to so many different types of people- but we like to think of ourselves as a community!
The digital nomads in Bansko, our coworkers, are mixed with our long-term expats, and local tenants.

Together we plan events, workshops, parties, days out exploring the area, themed dinners, hiking, or just even chill-outs by the pool (or in our underground game room the CAVE).
