It goes without saying that St. Vlas is the place to be on the Black Sea, where property prices rarely sell for under one thousand euros per square metre, even in today's market where newly built supply remains a key factor, thus this large 2-bed does offer value to a prospective buyer. Another important factor with relation to this particular property is the fact that only four-dozen apartments in total were built in this development (that's 40 less than the original Kambani or Bells 1 complex), thus exclusivity is almost guaranteed. Also, the fact that this property is situated on the third floor of the building is another plus, especially when it comes to most Eastern European buyers as they prefer to be off the ground floor and further away from ambient noises, not to mention that the balcony enjoys spectacular views of the beautiful swimming pool and manicured gardens of this complex. The interior design of this property is extremely modern with a mix of high-gloss floor tiles and wood laminate, white walls, wooden doors and door-frames, all complimented by lovely teak-effect wooden kitchen cabinets and furnishings. The kitchen units are part-recessed and are a tasteful mix of dark wood and stainless steel/chrome (oven, door handles etc.). The bedrooms continue this style with sleek dark wood headboards, white walls, light coloured drapes and more dark wooden furniture in the form of double wardrrobes again with chrome handles and even a matching dressing table with large wall vanity mirror. The balcony is accessible from the main living space and is very nicely finished with arched pillars and white tiles matching the overall structure, finished off with a unique wooden ballastrade. Everything about this property says 'quality', a reflection that a lot of thought was put into the overall design and architecture, as well as the internal fit out. The property is in excellent condition as one would expect for a building just a few years old.
Bells 2 was built by the Dinevi Group and officially opened in 2006 and consists of 48 apartments built in the Renaissance style. The complex includes a well landscaped courtyard featuring a variety of plant species. Bells2 is also within walking distance of the newly built Marina and the village of Sveti Vlas. Annual maintenance fees are approximately 500 euros per year or thereabouts.

Other locale/area features
St Vlas is located at the foot of the southern slopes of the Balkan Mountains, in the northern part of Burgas Bay. A settlement was founded at the present place of St Vlas in the 2nd century AD by Thracians and Greeks, then called Larissa. It acquired the name St Vlas in the 14th century after Saint Blaise, a monastery dedicated to whom existed in the region, but was burnt down in the 14th-18th century by consecutive pirate raids. During the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, it was known as Kücük manastir or simply Manastir ("monastery"), while the name St Vlas became official after 1886. Until 1920 the population of St Vlas was predominantly Greek. After 1920 as a result of the exchange of population between Greece and Bulgaria most of the local Greeks emigrated to Western Thrace (ceded to Greece in 1920) Greece and found their new home in the village of Strymi (until 1920 Chadarli), Sapes municipality. Less than 10 Greek families remained in St Vlas. After 1912 and especially after 1920 tens of Bulgarian families emigrated from Greece, predominantly from Greek Macedonia and established themselves in St Vlas. The settlement became a climatic sea resort in 1963 and a town on 2 February 2006. St Vlas is the only place on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast where the beaches are facing directly south.
St Vlas has grown as a very popular tourist resort in recent times, serving as a quieter alternative to nearby Sunny Beach. The gap between the two places is shrinking as more hotels and holiday apartments are built along the coast. St Vlas lies at the northern end of a bay which has Sunny Beach in its middle and the ancient town of Nesebar at its southern end. Sunny Beach and Nesebar are easily accessible by bus or taxi, and there are also boats going between St Vlas and Nesebar.
The resort was mainly popular amongst inland Bulgarian tourists, but recently there is rapid growth in the number of foreign tourists, mainly from Russia, but also from Poland, Romania and Scandinavia. Even though St Vlas was heavily developed in 2000's it remained pretty quiet and calm down place, making it good place to have a rest. Due to that fact the typical visitors in the resort are families with children.
