I was very lucky to have been able to spend my first month in Bansko at the legendary Avalon and I am so glad I did. The welcoming and family-like atmosphere at the Avalon causes experienced travellers to return year after year - this was great for me, as living with so many Bansko veterans allowed me to very quickly get invited too all the best bars, restaurants and activities that Bansko has to offer. Living with so many like minded travellers allows you to build relationships so quickly - from the moment you arrive there’s always a board game happening, a coffee brunch to join, a group headed off to ski or a bus booked for the next hot springs evening. That said, we all need down time and if you’d rather just chill without being a social butterfly for a bit then that is also completely respected. Danny & James, who run the Avalon with so much love, very quickly become your Bansko fairy godparents. It was lovely to be part of their Christmas & New Year during my stay. What I really can’t get over is the value for money. The Avalon provides a next level experience for not much more than you would pay for an apartment. This does mean that there is huge demand to get in to the Avalon with some regulars booking their room almost a year ahead, so definitely do not delay making booking enquiries the moment you decide on your trip to Bansko. It would be easy for James to add 50% to his prices and still sell out with the interest there is in Avalon - it’s a huge testament to his character that he prefers to deliver excellent value and an authentic space instead. Without question, the next time I am in Bansko, the Avalon will be my first stop. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
