Cabins in Caciulata

Privelistea, linistea, a fost perfect!

What a discovery - this traditional house is like staying in a museum in the countryside! Baile Olanesti is a small local spa resort, and not at all on the "tourist map". We seemed to have been the only forigen visitors in the whole region as we met no others. My family loved this - spending happy days with a book in a hammock reading, walking in the nearby beechwoods or down to the monastery (the nuns are very welcoming) and watching the wildlife (be careful - 2 days before we arrived a girl was killed by a bear!) as well as meeting the friendly local dogs and cats. Despite the simple setting - the house was clean and tidy, the bathroom is great with plenty of hot water and fresh clean towels; the beds are comfortable for two in each room (although there isn't much spare room in a country cottage). There is a basic kitchen in the house and a good fridge, and in Baile Olanesti there are small simple supermarkets. Just beware the complicated local traffic regulations with pedestrian only streets and a lack of car parking spaces. Day drives from here take you to some beautiful locations - especially the monasteries of the Hurezi valley...but mostly, my family wanted to stay put or take local walking trails into the hills or down to the monastery and river. The family all have said they would like to go back and stay again. If we could rate this an 11, we would do so for the totality of the holiday experience. Sophistication it is not - but for simple pleasures the house and its location is very hard to beat.

Beautiful place in a lovely setting with an extremely friendly and hospitable owner.

Great location, great facilities

Very comfortable wooden cabins. The heated pool is perfect for sunny days. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. There are open barbecue facilities available, and the whole place is peaceful and quiet — ideal for relaxing. The owners are very friendly and truly care about their guests' well-being. One even brought us homemade sheep’s cheese — such a thoughtful and personal touch!

Loved the location, really nice amenities for families with children! Very child-friendly!
