Should you consider the property as a small business, either as a B&B or rental, your opportunities for year round success here are a great deal higher because of its location. The typical British B&B is very seasonal and relies on only one or two attractions. Here, however, there are so many pursuits spread throughout all four seasons.

Apart from the core business of a B&B, and because of its original traditional style and atmosphere, the property could be used as a venue for various events, such as:

• Small courses
• Seminars
• Workshops
• Business meetings
• Books Presentations
• Small concerts
• Small exhibitions
• Birthdays and Parties
  
• Wedding Receptions

The latest fashion in Bulgaria is to have an old style wedding with everyone dressed in traditional costume and with authentic folklore music being played. So, what could be a better background for such an event than this original and impressive old Bulgarian style house?

The local, renovated church (right) is only 100m away and it would be a good move to strike up a relationship with the local priest.

The newly renovated Tourism Personnel Training Centre (shown here beyond the house) holds guest lectures and teaching seminars all year round and so the potential for accommodating these people is enormous.

Since Bulgaria became a full member of the EU, grant money has been available. The Training Centre was fully renovated recently with such funding and there's the possibility, with a good business plan, of obtaining a grant or business loan to develop this house.

The secret to this area's success is in the Rhodope Mountains and there's a separate section devoted to its potential.
