The bathroom is not ready yet, so we have an eco-toilet. We have water but it may not be enough and we will probably have to transport water 50 meters if needed to cook and wash.
The phone and internet signal is not great, that's why it's great here.
In winter, heating and cooking is done with wood, and in the hot seasons we will use the gas or the garden grill.
We do not have TV yet, and the required electrical power is provided by a generator.
We offer you good local and mostly organic food, both vegetables and meat are served on the table.
Normally high proportion of products from our own farm.We can provide 3 meals per day and access to the kitchen to cook your own meals.
You can explore the area by yourself but I will also love to take you around by bicycle or by car if I have free time. On the other hand, the wild natural surroundings of Transylvania are breathtaking landscapes. You can do climb,fishing, riding, shopping ,etc.. And if you are interested, I'm very happy to share with you some fascinating episodes from our rich and ancient local history.
You will have the opportunity to live in the rural part of Romania you will discover beautiful place , uncovered by too many tourists, always in contact with nature, close to a large city of the county, but also by the important tourist points in this area. You will learn how to renovate a house, and how to care for a garden or animals but the most important thing is that you will be in direct contact with the local community at the same time, we are sure that in turn we are still learning many things, so maybe you can teach us something and at the same time you will leave a mark on our places.
I can teach you about my culture, about the domestic and wild animals, birds and plants , and the local traditions, history and habits in Romania
You can stay for a few days, preferably min. a week, up to a few weeks or even a month. The groups and family are welcome.
Contact us as son is possible.
