Open for Business

Despite all the issues and all that Mother Nature and the complex could throw at us, we are flying the flag and open for business and Owners and there Guests are having FUN.

Proving that by working together anything can be achieved.

Owners Association Members Reception

Reception

Yes the Owners Association Members Reception is here and operational and we are loving it. The design intent was to create a feeling off modern day luxury, refinement and style yet connected to the past, future and culture of Bansko/Bulgaria being organic, ergonomic and tactile, the furnishing style has come from our Urban range where we re-invent, re-use and bring to life beautifully forgot timber that have been waiting for the Crown magic to be worked. We hope we have derived a comfitable and functional environment to be enjoyed and used by all OA members. 

G4, Wi Fi is now available and all your enquires and needs can be tended to by the Crown FM attentive staff. English Tea, Bulgarian herbal and fresh ground coffee can all be enjoyed on request.

All enquires at the reception should be directed via the new dedicated email address reception@stjohn-villagebansko.com and or the dedicated telephone number +359 (0) 74 959 119

In what is a contemporary space we mixed reclaimed wood with real wood walnut veneer's to achieve a welcoming but stylish feeling everyone can enjoy. 

I love to bring old wood, everyone else has passed bye and giving it a new lease of life.

New glass door/partition making it easier to heat the space and providing delineation to the area. 

Loving the old army skies from 1903 how cools that.

See the beautiful colours pop out of the cherga on the walls

The urban style cherga bench give a great introduction to the space.

All the art work around the room is from our own collection and from  well known Bulgarian artists 

I feel we got the mood right for the space mixing old with the new, and traditional butter churns make great finishing/dressing pieces.

I just love this bench but the fabric is very difficult to work with.

Our new St John Village clothing range available at the reception

Blog update 2012 finally :)

Apologies for being away but we have been a little busy!!

Snow Snow Snow and the big Chill 

As most people know Bansko, Bulgaria and the rest of europe has been hit with some of the hardest weather for decade's and in Bansko JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW the most in 100 years and it just keeps coming. 

This extreme weather has had a huge impact on what we are trying to achieve and get a management handle on the complexes. Just last weekend knowing more large snow falls where coming and the municipality roads where all but impassable with the snow plow only pushing everything to the side blocking any measure of access, to this end we got in the big machines and cleared the way, and still it keeps coming and coming and coming.

The extreme conditions has seriously exposed the flaws in the complex infrastructure and lack of any previous due care and attention to the buildings and the systems held with in them, these now are really starting to expose them selves and we are here to help all the owners.

Knowing we where about to be hit with even more heavy snow falls we took a brief break in the snow fall to clear the main access road and parking zones in order they remain safe and we maximis access to all the blocks, just look at the tonnes and tonnes of snow never seen so much and still it keeps coming.

Using everything at our disposal and all our connections and friends to keep things going

Municipality doing there bit when they can, but with so much snow  they have there work cut out.

In some parts we are pilled 2meter plus

When this lot melts there are going to be serious problems in lower bulgaria already we have had a Dam burst and many villages wiped out by flooding, and unfortunately fatalities

The snow plow pushes all the snow to the side of the road so we have to keep the access ways clear

Keeping the path ways clear when we can but its been just an endless task as quick as we clear its back again

Whilst its the municipalities job we have had to do our bit to keep the turning areas and parking areas as clear as it is possible to in these conditions.
