Villa Yarema Forest Residence is a Finnish-style eco log house, surrounded by century-old pine trees, offering peace, tranquility, and an incredible atmosphere. The villa is located in the Yarema area, 20 km from Sofia, above the villages of Bistritsa and Zheleznitsa, at the foot of Vitosha Mountain at an altitude of 1,320 meters. The property features 4 bedrooms, a spacious living room with a professional-grade pool table, a dining room, and a kitchen fully equipped for self-catering.

A Spa and relaxation zone has been built alongside the river that flows through the property, available exclusively for our guests. It features a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, a Siberian hot tub, a cold plunge tub, and a salt room. We have also provided a children’s playground for our younger guests, as well as a fantastic and spacious BBQ area complete with a small kitchen, a grill, a traditional oven, and a large table with a fireplace for enjoyable moments in both summer and winter.

The villa is constructed entirely from solid wooden logs, and all the interior furnishings are made of natural wood, creating an incredible sense of coziness with the scent of the mountains and pines. Every small detail has been considered to ensure our guests feel even more comfortable than they do in their own homes.

The Yarema villa district is located on the eastern slopes of Vitosha Mountain, within the Pancharevo region, just 25 km south of downtown Sofia. Nearby are the villages of Zheleznitsa and Bistritsa to the north, and Plana Mountain 11 km to the southeast. The area offers many natural attractions to explore. One of the most visited sites is the Zheleznitsa mineral spring, located about 2 km from the village. Sourcing from approximately 12 springs, its water maintains a year-round temperature of 28°C. Several rustic outdoor soaking pools have been created there, which are said to help with stress, fatigue, and skin conditions.

The “Galunka” panoramic trail is a popular choice for a scenic walk. It connects the Vitosha villages of Bistritsa and Zheleznitsa. The 4.3 km trail takes about 2 hours to complete and begins at the edge of Bistritsa, finishing at Aneva Cheshma (Aneva’s Fountain) just before Zheleznitsa. Along the route, there are several designated areas for rest and picnics.

The “Adgor” Equestrian Center is located in the immediate vicinity of the Yarema area, in an exceptionally beautiful region with breathtaking panoramic views of four mountain ranges: Rila, Verila, Vitosha, and Plana. The center offers riding lessons for both beginner and advanced equestrians.
