La Felinare — Hotel in Mahmudia

It is rather surreal being there.|I remember 3 years ago when my wife narrowed a list of 3 places in the D delta and why we choose it; I think it dpwn to some free old bikes and a balcony. |Then we arrived to: |- excellent elevated position with stunning views|- great confortable rooms, all but one with direct river views|- small villa with just 10 rooms|- a home-like drawing room with eating areas|- a couple of outdoor eating areas|- the most amaizing pool with a view|- some great walking tracks through subnatural reservations starting at the pension|But this is nothing...|Add this:|- two young owners discretly there if/when needed to help or advise|- and on top of it all, grandma, actually her cooking.

If you want to relax, with nothing extraordinary, book...

He is very helpful, but you have to ask what you want. The girls serving breakfast and dinner were a bit inexperienced, but that was very charming. If you go there, learn some words of Romanian because not everybody (except the owner) speaks English.||Breakfast was OK, and every day a different dish was served.||Enjoy the swimming pool with the view over the Delta (but there the music can be loud, depending on who is at the...
