Transylvania winter vacation accommodation

How this vacation makes a difference

Our small enterprise provides employment for 14 families. Most of the food we serve as well as the building material we use is traditionally produced in the village and its surroundings. Our staff is now skilled in their new professions, be it the cook, the guide or the restoration worker. We aim at restoring and preserving the historic architectural harmony of our village and its environment. The guest houses are part of the village and our guests become neighbours to the villagers for the length of their stay. We show our guests nature still in its unspoiled way. We monitor wildlife around the village and make the villagers understand why it is so important to preserve it. We promote sustainable tourism also by limiting the amount of rooms available.

All our employees are local and benefit from high training standards. We purchase most goods locally, even traditional building materials like hand made tiles, bricks and lime. Our taxes go to the local council helping to develop the village. Profit generated by the guests is re-invested directly in the restoration of our cultural heritage. Thus the entire village largely benefits from our undertaking.

Excellent, I would recommend to anyone wanting to go back and experience nature, a more simple way of living and wanting to learn about the complex make-up of Transylvanian history. (read full review)

It was wonderful - we did four nights, which I'd recommend as a minimum as there is so much to see. Children were well catered for - ours were two and four and loved all the food and the adventures!(read full review)

A real adventure! Transylvania in the snow is a magical place, and I can't wait to return in the summer some time. We were looking for some festive snow and were so glad to stumble across this on the responsible travel website.(read full review)

I have rarely been so affected by a vacation, and we both feel determined to go back and experience this again. More than individual moments or outings, it was the whole atmosphere that created this feeling.(read full review)

Horse and cart ride through snowy forests, across frozen streams, seeing foxes and birds of prey and wild boar tracks were most memorable. Also sledging a 2km run down to a frozen volcanic lake, climbing snowy paths up to caves. (read full review)
