This is THE place for a rural vacation! Although on a national highway, the location is decently quiet and one can get a good rest. The surroundings are incredible and the few local people that I was able to talk to were very natural and happy to chat with tourists. But the hosts - I can only describe them like this: I felt like I was visiting a very good old friend at his parent's house. We were able to have interesting conversations on topics like tourism, agriculture, local and family life. We were able to see and touch (literally) the rural life, by giving a hand to prepare for the neighbors' wedding party or milking the cow (which the kids were more than excited about :-) ). The food, prepared with all-local ingredients, was excellent! ...and more than we could have ever ate.

We opted for half bord, and it was the best idea we could have had, as everything was homemade and very tasty. The room was very clean and functional with traditional decorations typical for the region. Beds were comfy too. If you are open to new experiences, this is the right place for you. Ionuț will even teach you to decorate eggs in a traditional way. We had great fun to do these “ouă încondeiate” and know now how...
