Our philosophy of restoring heritage architecture is characterised by utmost respect for the textures and atmospheres of ancient buildings. All the rooms have been lovingly restored and furnished with authentic antiques and textiles from Transylvania. The way we restore derelict houses is barely noticeable, rather would it seem that the buildings have aged gently and gradually without recent intervention. The property is not to be seen as a 'shabby chic' styled holiday resort, it is genuine in its harmony and guests feel like staying in a centuries-old private home.
The guest rooms are furnished exclusively with antique Transylvanian furniture, including most of the textiles.
Our guests are looked after by discreet local staff who cater to all their needs. Transfers, guided activities and meals are all available. Guests are welcomed on arrival with our local Transylvanian brandy and pastries before being shown to their rooms. There is no TV, radio, internet or indeed mobile signal (landline telephone is available). There are plenty of books including nature guides, and you can also borrow binoculars and a scope to watch wildlife from around the house. Laundering is available for a small charge. Meeting like-minded travellers from all around the world is one of the special features of this place. Meals are mostly taken along with other guests, unless desired separately. The rooms are equipped with kettles for making your own tea and coffee, and bottled mineral water is provided. We offer local produce and crafts to buy at the little shop in the guesthouse office. There are only two small shops in the village and no restaurant.
On each day of the week, we offer one activity for our 'All Inclusive' guests. These are mostly in the form of nature walks, horse & cart rides, and visits to local craftsmen guided by knowledgeable staff and dependent upon the season.
Meals are taken together as 'table d'hôte' unless otherwise requested. Food is prepared on site by local staff, mostly from local ingredients as available. Menus are set for every day of the week and no choice 'à la carte' is possible. They reflect the customary cooking of the different Transylvanian ethnicities (Romanian, Hungarian, Saxon). Special requests and dietary requirements must be specified in advance. During the day, picnics and barbecues will be served on the walks and rides. All dinners are accompanied by a half bottle of wine or a beer per person, included in the price. We prepare local brandy, 'Székely Köményes' in our kitchen for the guests. A small choice of pre-dinner cocktail drinks and port wine are also available at an extra charge. In the warm season (May–September) 'al fresco ' sunset dinners in the surrounding hills are offered at extra cost.
