Four Leaf Clover: an apartment complex that became a Bansko coliving

Four Leaf Clover is an apartment complex in Bansko that opened in 2008 and gradually turned into a coliving as the town's nomad population grew. It runs four buildings with everything from economy studios to maisonettes, plus a coworking space that functions as the community's centre.

What Four Leaf Clover Does

• Four apartment buildings, many unit types. Economy studios through to one bedroom apartments and maisonettes.
• Monthly and daily rentals. From around 280 euros a month, which is exceptional even for Bulgaria.
• A coworking space and events area. Described by the operator as the heart of the community.
• A pool and a game room. The complex has resort-style shared facilities rather than a single lounge.
• A mixed resident base. Nomads, tourists and expats rather than only remote workers.

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

Bansko is the cheapest serious remote-work base in the EU, and 280 euros a month for your own studio is close to the floor of what is possible anywhere with fast internet and a ski lift.

Winter is skiing under the Pirin mountains at a fraction of Alpine prices. Summer is hiking with the crowds gone. The town's nomad community is large enough year round to sustain events, coworking and the annual Bansko Nomad Fest.

Understand the format. This is an apartment complex with a coliving layer rather than a purpose-built community house, so the social side depends on the coworking space and the events rather than on shared dinners. For people who want their own front door with community available, that is the right trade.

Pricing

Monthly rentals from around 280 euros. Daily rentals available separately.

Your own studio in the EU for under 300 euros a month, which is the whole argument.
