Probably the most idyllic and luckily (for us) still not fully explored area in the Romanian mountains at cca 1200 m. The cabin is fully equipped with everything you might imagine, and they greet you with home made bread and liquour, as well as...

Location in a very remote valley with peace and quiet and beautiful scenery. Great hiking, a bear sanctuary and Bran castle nearby. There was plenty of kindling and logs for the fire but the chalet was warm and cosy without the fire as it has...

One of the most beautiful holiday locations (if not the most beautiful) in the middle of nature, surrounded by hills, at the foot of Piatra Craiului. Tasteful architecture and design... Extremely pleasant and friendly hosts. Wonderful food with...

A rare and tranquil find! I never knew a place could be so peaceful ………. just sitting there sipping a coffee in the warmth of the morning sun, looking across the tiered valley to the mountains beyond, the silence broken only by the occasionally...

The owners are a pleasure to interact with, anything you need, they will provide. Breakfast was over the top! The Istrate family are the best for caring your food needs and prepare the needed wood for the fireplace. If you want to go somewhere to...

In the late 1950s, local craftsmen came together and built a barn on one of the most panoramic hills of the scenic village of Sirnea, at about 1,200m high. More than 60 years later, using its old stone and wooden core while adding modern eco-friendly materials, The Barn was revived and welcomes you to fully charge your batteries. During these years, the only things left untouched were the astonishing view of the imposing Bucegi Mountains, with peaks as high as 2,500m and the nearby limestone kingdom of Piatra Craiului, with its ridge sitting quietly at above 2,000m. The Barn has a sleeping area with a queen size bed, a living room with an extendable sofa, a fully equipped kitchen, QLED TV and wi-fi. This will be your home away from home. Part of The Barn complex, we also welcome our guests to Casa Mare, a beautifully handcrafted log house assembled by a team of brothers from Bucovina whose expert craftsmanship already goes several generations back. The material for the log house was individually selected by the craftsmen, the lighting fixtures were handmade by master potters from Marginea, worldwide renowned for their ancient black pottery technique, to blend in with other personalized elements of the designer made house. Casa Mare has 3 bedrooms each with individual bathrooms, a living room with an extendable sofa and an additional relaxation area, a fully equipped kitchen, QLED TVs in all rooms and wi-fi. This would be the ideal place to enjoy time with family and friends.
Bucharest is around 3 hours’ drive away (you can also use the route via Targoviste in case of traffic congestion on Prahova Valley), you can reach Brasov in less than 1 hour and Sibiu in less than 3 hours. Things to see or do in the area: - The 13th century Bran Castle, also known as Dracula’s Castle (15km) - The 13th century Rasnov Fortress (30km) - The city of Brasov and its 15th century Black Church (45km) - Hiking in Piatra Craiului Mountains - Hiking in Bucegi Mountains - A walk through the scenic villages of Sirnea, Pestera (20km) and Magura (25km) - Dambovicioara Cave and Gorges (10km) - The Gorges of Zarnesti (30km) - Biking and horse riding in Sirnea - Dino Parc, dinosaurs themed park (30km)
