Life in the mountains
Sun, snow, peace and a growing group of remote workers.
What is it like to live here?
We have lived in Dobrinishte since 2023. Life here is quieter and cheaper than in Western Europe. Nature is on your doorstep, the people are hospitable and in the valley you find everything you need.
Sofia is about 2.5 hours' drive away, the Greek coast a few hours. Below you can read what daily life looks like.
