Why Brits Are Once Again Choosing Bulgaria for Their Dream Home Abroad
Twenty years ago, Bulgaria became one of the most attractive destinations for British buyers searching for affordable holiday homes and retirement havens. Now, two decades later, the trend is back – and stronger than ever.
One of the many inspiring stories we’ve witnessed recently is that of Yossef, a buyer from the UK who came to explore Bulgaria with the hope of finding a place to enjoy life today – and to retire in the future.
A Warm Welcome to Bulgaria
Upon his arrival, Yossef was amazed not only by the natural beauty of the Bulgarian countryside but also by the friendliness of the people:
“From the taxi driver to the coffee shop, everyone has been so kind. I’ve heard Bulgarians are warm and welcoming, but now I’ve experienced it myself.”
This positive first impression quickly made him feel at home, giving him the confidence that Bulgaria was the right choice.
Discovering Granitovo near Elhovo
Together with our colleague Gabriela from BULGARIAN PROPERTIES, Yossef visited several villages, including the charming Granitovo near Elhovo. With its green surroundings, fig trees, fresh air, and peaceful atmosphere, the village left a lasting impression.
He was shown a traditional Bulgarian house priced at just 22,000 Euro – with antique furniture, a spacious garden, and even additional outbuildings. What stood out most was the opportunity for a self-sustainable lifestyle, where one can grow their own fruits and vegetables, enjoy clean air and water, and live closer to nature.
A Decision from the Heart
After only a short stay, Yossef made a life-changing decision:
“This is going to be my place. I’m going to retire here.”
