To replicate the look of a traditional Bulgarian house, we used a unique process to render the effect of stone walls.
David Hollands explains why and how the authentic look of stone work was reproduced.

Finding the shade at Geshaview
In this short video David Hollands talks about why it was important to preserve the natural landscape and the trees at Geshaview.
With the concept now reaching its conclusion, the trees at Geshaview give a natural shade which is so different from the most ergonomic, sophisticated umbrella you can buy these days.
With only 22 trees removed from the ground, the natural shade and a cool breeze from the mountains 'lightens the hot summer days'...
Footnote: the swimming pool and restaurant referred to in this clip are due for completion in 2012.

Gone fishing... at Geshaview
Only 15 minutes drive through the lanes from the Geshaview village in Bulgaria there is a great little lake, ideal for holiday fishing.
David Hollands and his daughter spent a hot summer's day there.
From tiddlers to 20lb carp, safe and with all the facilities - WC's, cafe and, if overnight fishing is on the menu, then special arrangements can be made.
Pay about 3 lev for your rod and you can fish for as long as you want.
If you catch some of the bigger fish you can pay a small amount and take it home for supper. The tiddlers are for free and very tasty I may add.
A day here at the lake can be a great experience for those who have never discovered the joy of fishing and also good sport for the experienced angler.
Meanwhile back at Geshaview, the rest of the family are enjoying all the other facilities waiting for you to tell the story of the one that got away!
More information about fishing in Bulgaria can be found on the holidaybulgaria.com website, there is also advice and a link for where to get a Bulgarian fishing permit.

A rare visitor to Geshaview
A rare Humming-bird hawk-moth was spotted by David Hollands
at the Geshaview village in Bulgaria.
This large fast-flying moth (Latin name: Macroglossum stellatarum) can be seen hovering like a humming-bird over a variety of garden flowers while drinking the nectar.
The striking humming-bird hawk-moth is a native of North Africa and uses a long feeding tube for sucking nectar out of the flowers.
They have a wingspan of around two inches and their wings beat so fast an audible hum can clearly be heard.
David made this recording on the 30 August 2011 and has registered this sighting on the www.butterfly-conservation.org website as the first sighting of a Humming-bird hawk-moth to be made in Bulgaria.
