Sergiu Hanganu: In early 2000s, I reconstructed the wife’s parental house, more in order to have a place to receive guests and later on, I saw that they liked it and we thought to extend it, so that more people can enjoy these nice places. We are really a family business, as we, the family members and the relatives, work here close together.
Presently, the Hanganu family provides, at will, 28 chambers, two beret-type rooms and a hayfield, built with exclusively BIO materials. All of them have a rustic look and archaic elements in the traditional style. Each chamber is endowed with bathroom and everything needed for a proper comfort. Besides the accommodation places, the boarding house provides a conference hall, sauna and a swimming pool. The inn is a perfect choice for the organization of team building or group meetings. A picturesque place with exceptional panoramic views.
The rustic dwellings combine with mastership traditional elements with contemporary ones and invite to a hospitable atmosphere, far from the daily agitation.
