Welcome to Plovdiv Rentals
Roman Amphitheatre of Plovdiv
Known in the West for most of its history by the Greek name Philippopolis, it was originally a Thracian settlement before becoming a major Roman city. In the Middle Ages, it retained its strategic regional importance, changing hands between the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires. It came under Ottoman rule in the 14th century. In 1878, Plovdiv was made the capital of the autonomous Ottoman region of Eastern Rumelia; in 1885, it became part of Bulgaria with the unification of that region and the Principality of Bulgaria.
Plovdiv is situated in the southern part of the Plovdiv Plain on the two banks of the Maritsa River. The city has historically developed on seven syenite hills, some of which are 250 m (820.21 ft) high. Because of these seven hills, Plovdiv is often referred to in Bulgaria as 'The City of the Seven Hills'.
The city has more than 200 archaeological sites, 30 of which are of national importance. There are many remains from antiquity - Plovdiv is among the few cities with two ancient theatres; remains of the medieval walls and towers; Ottoman baths and mosques; a well-preserved old quarter from the National Revival period with beautiful houses, churches and narrow paved streets. There are numerous museums, art galleries and cultural institutions. Plovdiv is host to musical, theatrical and film events.
The city is a starting point for trips to places in the region, such as the Bachkovo Monastery at 30 km to the south, the ski-resort Pamporovo at 90 km (56 miles) to the south or the spa resorts to the north Hisarya, Banya, Krasnovo, Strelcha.
In order to help visitors enjoy their stay in Plovdiv, we have available a number of self-catering apartments close to and around the city centre. For a relatively modest fee, you can stay at any of our self-contained and well-furnished apartments from periods ranging from just a day to several weeks - as the fancy catches you.
Our apartments cater for numbers ranging from single visitors up to groups of seven. All you need to do is search for suitable and available properties (see the reservation box on the left), select and book an apartment, and our representative will be waiting for you at the apartment with the keys to the door.
