Pensiunea Floare De Colț — Hotel in Galda de Jos

the owners have worked hard (and they still do, to the greatest benefit, comfort and well-being of the guests) and the results are great: this is one of the best "pensiune" (guest houses) I've been to in Romania. ||||the food is always good, copious and fresh - in summer time you can see the vegetables that you're going to eat. I could even pick my own tomatoes. the owner told me there are people coming from 50-70 km away only to have a meal, especially a Friday evening or in week-ends, and then turn back home - I really understand why. by the way, if you want to visit one of the several gorges of the area, I guess this is the only real restaurant where you can have a meal.||||the guest house is conveniently situated in a peaceful area (well, peaceful except for the dogs at night - they bark!! and they don't seem to sleep a lot) at walking distance from several natural attractions (that, of course, if you come here for trekking 5-6 hours a day or more; otherwise you can drive 5-10 min to Intregaldei Gorge, do the trekking and drive back) and at only 1-2 hours of driving from several cultural attractions (Alba Iulia fortress, Aiud fortified church, Turda Salt Mine, several nice villages in the area).||||I guess this would also be an interesting place for kids as they have a nice playground in the courtyard and as they have plenty of animals: all kind of birds like peacocks, several types of ducks and hens, rabbits and I no longer remember what else.||||the owners would be glad and proud to show...

This is a lovely place in a nice setting. It was my second visit with a large group of friends and family. The food and service was excellent although some dishes were not available because of short supplies (bad weather for wild mushrooms).||||The host (self proclaimed as "haiduc" (outlaw) Lucian, was present and chatty as always. Take a look in the cellar at the homemade pickles, jams and preserves, the wine and the brandy.||||The place itself is huge, with lots of places to take a look around, friendly dogs and other birds and animals, the children will have plenty to do.||||As for the food, it was excellent. The pasta carbonara could be a bit lighter, it was (for an eleven year old child) a bit heavy, but I myself tried it and liked it. It's just the way we eat in Ardeal. Also the pork meat in the pork and sausage stew could have been a touch leaner. Again, I liked it.||||We were lucky to arrive just when the wild boar stew was being made, so I jumped at the chance to try it. Lovely dish, soft meat and rich sauce. Great with some homemade pickled gherkins and crunchy peppers.||||Being close to my hometown I didn't stay over in the hotel, but heard that the rooms are nice. ||||Stop over if you are in the area and ask for the special dishes on the menu. Otherwise if you have a larger group, telephone in advance and the chef will cook for you on order something special. Like the spicy wild boar...

Floare de colt is a place my family and i keep coming back to every year And i highly recomend everyone to visit! The owners Haiduc Lucian and Lenuta are so nice and welcoming, always making sure you are comfortable and doing their best to assist at any matter. The food is absolutly THE best of romanian kitchen offering a high class, tasty traditional romanian food! And the view can speak for itself.. from green mountains filled with wild life to the small river that flows under every access bridge. In addition there is the spa which contains a small poll, sauna and a jacuzzi! The rooms are kept very tidy and clean, a wooden floore and furnitures with a real wood furnace that keeps the water and floor hot on cold night! The poiana galdei area is filled to the top with attractions to see and visit you will not get borred for a single moment unless you choose to. I cant reccomend a visit there enough! you just have to try for yourself and find out.. but be carefull, for you might find yourselfs keep...
