10. Villa Gioia del Sole, Balchik (from USD 458)
There are a couple of things the seaside town of Balchik is known for: its white hills, its origins as a Thracian settlement, Balchik Botanical Garden, Balchik Palace, and its fantastic collection of summer luxury villas. Among the latter is Villa Gioia del Sole, which is Italian for “joy of the sun.” Aptly named, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom luxury property in Balchik was specifically designed and furnished to let its inhabitants take advantage of the beautiful weather in the region. Amenities include an eight-person hot tub, a large outdoor pool, a grill area, and terraces where you can view the Black Sea.
11. Villa Rosa dei Venti, Balchik (from USD 334)
Stay in a terracotta-colored luxury villa by the water for that Mediterranean feel. If you’re staying for quite some time in Balchik, consider making Villa Rosa dei Venti your home away from home.
