We want to be your home away from home that’s why we don’t have a fixed menu, like in a restaurant. Aunt Mariana, our wonderful chef, cooks the daily meals using only the freshest products she finds in Cartisoara and the neighboring villages. This way, eating in our house is a true culinary lesson about the rich Romanian cuisine. All the community is part of the meal preparation in our guesthouse. Ghita brings us each morning fresh milk. Rica the shepard sends us maturated cheese or fresh specialities from his sheepfold located in the incredible beautiful Balii Valley. His sheeps are eating only the finest grass mixed with the most delicate mountain flowers. The trout is taken from some creeks in the village. The herbs grow in the gardens nearby. All meat, whether chicken, veal, pork or mutton, found in our kitchen, is not similar with the one in the supermarkets. The fruits from our orchards become delicious jams, and our bees make the sweetest honey in the world. But don’t take our word for it, come and try for yourself.

In Cartisoara you are right in the middle of Romania, near Transfagarasan, “the most beautiful road in the world”, as Top Gear presenters named it. But our places don’t need a car to be explored. You can borrow bicycles or ride specially trained horses, even if you are not a seasoned cowboy. From Cartisoara you can go trekking on the mountain paths or explore the old villages around. We have great places for fishermen, but also a rich cultural heritage, waiting to be discovered. Once the first snow falls our slopes are ideal for skiing or snowboarding. And, please, don’t forget your sledge.
