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.

The owner is very nice and helpful, and the place is newly built and clean. Quiet, close to the woods and with a nice view. Se aud greieri zi și noapte

After a very long drive filled with traffic jam and multiple car accidents we found ourselves forced to stop in Ramnicu Vulcea. Despite a last minute reservation we were welcomed in this lovely, spacious, clean and modern home. The host was absolute amazing and oh, so kind, open and understanding of the situation that we have found ourselves in. The apartment is filled with everything that you might need. Has plenty of common spaces, 2 bathrooms and 3 big bedrooms. The kitchen had a lot of appliances, cuttlery and dishes. There was a big balcony and a garden. The furnishing was modern, light and clean. We only stayed overnight but it is definitely suited for longer stays that we would love to try in other circumstances. 100% recommended!!!
