Hi, we are a couple Polish/Bulgarian, Kasia & Ventzi, and created in Staro Zhelezare the StreetArt Village, full of murals mainly with portraits of local people and personalities from all around the world.
You are welcome to our home, which is the Art House, to help us keep our place clean, help with gardening, and so on.
We propose nice accommodation at our Art House, an artistic atmosphere, a lot of fun, being in the middle of local tradition, in the heart of the Balkans.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You could really feel the village life in Bulgaria, the atmosphere and warm social contacts. There is a local pub in the open air where you can meet for local simple breakfast, through the whole day till night. The village has its original atmosphere because of the murals, known in the country, but not yet touristic, in bad meaning.
It is also known for the slow food activity of our local grannies at the ethnographic House of Traditions.
Learning language and local traditions comes naturally.
Help

Our project is non-profit and we are not accepting paying guests at our place.
