The Fig House sleeps six people (four in the main house and an additional two in its nearby annexe) on a self-catering basis. It is available for private rental throughout the year.
The house was built in 1926 but, 80 years on, had fallen into near-dereliction. The recent restoration has aimed to create a haven of tranquility by retaining maximum atmosphere without sacrificing modern comfort.
Reflecting its location in the historical region of 'Aegean Thrace', right on the Greek border of southern Bulgaria, the interior decor of the house has been designed to have one foot in the Balkans and one further south. Exposed beams and hand-made terracotta-tiled floors give a Mediterranean flavour. Ottoman-style banquettes, rugs and light fittings and traditional hand-made Bulgarian 'revival' style furniture add a taste of the near east.
The house has many charming and unusual features such as the romantic spiral staircase to the basement and the stone-built corner open fireplace in the sitting room. The beamed and terracotta-tiled airy main corridor is a particular delight.
FACILITIES
MAIN HOUSE
* Sleeps four in two spacious bedrooms - one double and one twin.
* Two large bathrooms. One en-suite with the master bedroom with bath/shower and toilet and basin. The other a separate shower-room also with toilet and basin.
* Basement 'Mehana' (summer dining room) with table for six. Exposed stone walls and tiny traditional window keep this room cool on even the hottest summer's day
* Small kitchen with fridge/freezer, conventional gas/electric cooker and microwave
* Cosy sitting room with Ottoman-style built-in wall banquettes around a corner fireplace.
* Basement boot and clothes-drying room with washing machine.
* Spacious built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms and copious drawers and cupboard space throughout.
* The bedrooms and sitting-room all have fans, although the thick stone construction and high ceilings keeps the whole house naturally cool in summer heat.
* All doors and windows have locally-made traditional wooden shutters for security.
* Mosquito nets in the bedrooms provide a romantic 'tropical' look - but it is unlikely that you will need them!
ANNEXE (charged separately from the main house)
* The atmospheric stone-built annexe (formerly a cattle shed!) 20 metres from the main house sleeps an additional two people. It has its own small sitting-room, exposed stone walls, traditional timber ceilings, corner open fireplace and twin bedroom with en-suite shower room and toilet. The kids, teenage love-birds or mum and dad can stay out here in independent comfort and still be able to join the others in the main house for meals.
OUTSIDE LIVING
* Swimming pool right in front of the house - 3.5 by 8 metres and maintained daily throughout the summer.
* Poolside open barn and 'summer kitchen' for summer barbecues or just for chilling out in hammocks in the shade from the hot southern sun.
* Walled and gated garden for privacy. You can see the views over into Greece but the villagers can't see you.
* End of village location (by the restored 19th century church) with unspoilt views into Greece.
* Gated driveway to keep the hire-car secure off-road. Drive the car in, bolt the gates and you are in a world of your own.
