Medieval Farm Fare and Treehouse Bedrooms At A Family Run Farm in Romania


The round windows on the left are the farm hotel bedroom windows enjoying views of the countryside.

You could sit here forever.

In the distance are circular buildings with thatched roofs.


The canopy where we are sitting is also thatch.

Problem
Where can you see the real Romania, the old countryside, but still enjoy modern plumbing and creature comforts?

Answer
The Farm complex.

Story
We arrived just before a storm. We had time to enjoy sitting outdoors under a wooden canopy, watching the animals and focussing our eyes on the distant hills.

Casserole Lunch
When it rained we went indoors.




The farmhouse lunch was filling and satisfying. Heavy bread bread soaking up the vegetable and meat stew.
































The complex of buildings provides non-stop entertainment. There's something to look at, at every turn.

The dining area spreads over two buildings and the outside. The family, we met the father and son,  and their helpers are busy bustling about, carrying trays of food, lots of banter, friendly chat, information about how they breed animals, plant crops, create the old style buildings.

Bedrooms
I asked to see the bedrooms. You have a choice. adjoining the dining room is a long corridor with bedrooms. Those on the field side have a view of the fields.


On the road side, no windows. Not sure I'd like that. The whole point of being in the countryside is to enjoy the countryside. However, if you were on honeymoon, or having a couples weekend, you might enjoy the privacy of a room without windows.







Alternative accommodation is in the tree houses. Very popular. Fully booked. So we couldn't get to see inside one.



I loved it. Normally I like the city and culture and like to take a quick look at a country scene, snap a picture and move on. But I think you could pass a night or two or longer here. Every piece of furniture, every piece of equipment, has a story which the family owners are glad to share.
