I've rarely experienced hospitality as this, period. And, I've traveled to many parts of the world and all over the US, renting homes and staying at resorts such as Four Seasons and St Regis. The owners, Alin and Hertha, were there to meet us upon arrival and welcomed us with open arms. It is hard to go over everything that they arranged for us to make our stay so comfortable as we were there to shoot a film documentary and needed a quiet, more remote place to stay to unwind each day. Beautiful home and an amazing view in this beautiful area. We rented a home but received so much more. They arranged the rental for our Mercedes Sprinter van for our crew, secured press passes for us with the Untold Music Festival, arranged for a keg of Guinness and Ursus beers to be on the property when we arrived, had food/drink in the home for us to get us started, lined up an authentic chef to cook our crew dinners with authentic Romanian dishes, and so on and so forth. We rented the home and not only was the property fantastic but they did so much more for us outside the rental of the home that is was hard to believe we'd receive so much help when we really only expected to rent their beautiful home. As the chaperone of five film students making a grueling 10-day shoot for a documentary, this greatly helped me achieve all the goals we needed to hit and Alin and Hertha were instrumental in making this happen. We couldn't have done it without them, at least, not nearly as good. For anyone wishing to visit Romania, which I highly recommend, this is the place for this area. Alin and Hertha were absolutely fantastic people and shows that we all may live in different countries with different cultures, but, we are all brothers and sisters on this earth to help each other and they proved me right. Highly, highly recommend this place for its beauty, location, and above all, the true beauty shown to us of help and kindness from Alin and Hertha. Go visit Romania and stay here, you won't be disappointed!!!! ##### Jeffrey B. Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2017 ---
