Property Description
This 42 square metre studio property does represent excellent value for money in our estimation for two reasons: (1) on a price per square metre basis for this particular premier development, the asking price is less than €1,000 per square metre, and (2) this property is located in a truly wonderful development which is situated beach-side in Sveti Vlas. As the new owner you will be gaining access to the same location and facilities (see below for additional background information) as somebody else who paid a multiple of this price for a larger property within the same development. This is your typical bolthole retreat property on the Black Sea coast for a couple who want a zero hassle holiday home. Garden of Eden is one of the most highly regarded in this region, thus is in high demand (especially for the smaller properties within this particular development). At 42 square metres of internal floor space, this particular apartment is ideal for a couple or small family. There is a compact kitchen for self-catering as well as a fully-tiled bathroom with bath tub. Like many properties on the Bulgarian coast it is laid out in an open-plan design to maximise the feeling of space, whilst simultaneously providing its residents with the facilities that they need and of course with the minimum amount of maintenance to ensure that the owner spends the majority of their time enjoying the facilities that this wonderful complex has to offer. The property has a separate boiler room/storage cupboard that may be used for items such as ironing boards as well as luggage cases etc. The decor is extremely bright, neutral and very clean-looking and is complimented by the wood effect laminate flooring and the colour-coordinated kitchen cabinets and dining suite. This property is well laid out, is in pristine condition and overall makes for a very pleasant ambience indeed.

St Vlas is located at the foot of the southern slopes of the Balkan Mountains, in the northern part of Burgas Bay. A settlement was founded at the present place of St Vlas in the 2nd century AD by Thracians and Greeks, then called Larissa. It acquired the name St Vlas in the 14th century after Saint Blaise, a monastery dedicated to whom existed in the region, but was burnt down in the 14th-18th century by consecutive pirate raids. During the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, it was known as Kücük manastir or simply Manastir ("monastery"), while the name St Vlasbecame official after 1886. Until 1920 the population of St Vlas was predominantly Greek. After 1920 as a result of the exchange of population between Greece and Bulgaria most of the local Greeks emigrated to Western Thrace (ceded to Greece in 1920) Greece and found their new home in the village of Strymi (until 1920 Chadarli), Sapes municipality. Less than 10 Greek families remained in St Vlas. After 1912 and especially after 1920 tens of Bulgarian families emigrated from Greece, predominantly from Greek Macedonia and established themselves in St Vlas. The settlement became a climatic sea resort in 1963 and a town on 2 February 2006. St Vlas is the only place on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast where the beaches are facing directly south.
St Vlas has grown as a very popular tourist resort in recent times, serving as a quieter alternative to nearby Sunny Beach. The gap between the two places is shrinking as more hotels and holiday apartments are built along the coast. St Vlas lies at the northern end of a bay which has Sunny Beach in its middle and the ancient town of Nesebar at its southern end. Sunny Beach and Nesebar are easily accessible by bus or taxi, and there are also boats going between St Vlas and Nesebar.
The resort was mainly popular amongst inland Bulgarian tourists, but recently there is rapid growth in the number of foreign tourists, mainly from Russia, but also from Poland, Romania and Scandinavia. Even though St Vlas was heavily developed in 2000's it remained pretty quiet and calm down place, making it good place to have a rest. Due to that fact the typical visitors in the resort are families with children
