We had a great nights sleep and it was silent through the night apart from the peaceful sound of the river.|We agreed a breakfast time for the morning and right on schedule the owners were waiting for us downstairs with a big smile and breakfast laid out.

Read morePensiunea Terra Nova is a beautiful cabin custom built at the foot of Cozia National Park. We visited with my parents in early September and enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the creek and watching the sunrise over the mountain covered with trees in yellows, orange and red fall foliage. What a fairytale landscape. ||The beds are comfortable, the pillows were welcome after a long day of hiking, but overall the service is the better than anywhere else I’ve stayed in Romania. ||The owners, Dan and Mihaela, had breakfast ready at 9 am every morning with delicious coffees. A plate of meats and cheeses with two farm fresh eggs and fresh bread was always more than we could eat. We had the option for lunch but we were always out during the day. For dinner, it was some of the best romanian cuisine. Mountain trout, ciorba, supă de găluște, carne de la garniță, mămăligă, mashed potatoes, and salată varză, just to name a few. It was something fresh every night different every night and it was served outside on the patio underneath the trees.||Dan and Mihaela do their best to make everyone feel like family. Their daughter is involved too! We saw her serving dinner, helping check customers in and a hundred other things. They all made sure that we always had everything that we needed and spent time with us at meals each day. They had great recommendations for the surrounding area and were quick to provide a blanket for the evening chill or an extra cup of coffee in the morning. ||They also speak fluent German! We met people from the Netherlands, Bavaria, Romania, and America.||We felt very comfortable and hope we can...

Other than the river and the wind that plays with the leaves in the forest around, no other sound. For a moment I feel alone in this wilderness. Minutes ago i had with my friends from France a great dinner cooked just for us, home made drinks and a very very warm welcome.||I thought this was perfect, but in the morning a breakfast prepared for us on the terrace, a bigger surprise. Eggs from local villages, home made jams from the berries picked from the surrounded hills, and watching the wild horses and cows going for their healthy meal. now and then a trout fish is jumping on the stream in the garden of the hotel||Staff makes you feel you are part of their family.||Price? I would notmention. Because nobody will believe me. What an experience! Many times i passed this place riding my motorcycle from Transalpina. Thanks God i had this opportunity to taste this place before going back to...
