Описание

Instead of crowded beaches we propose a tranquil spot to relax and recharge your batteries.

Treat yourself to this former farmhouse in the shepherd village of Vale. It is located in the shepherd village of Vale, right at the foot of the mountains and the Transalpina, the highest road across the Carpathians. On the one hand, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, on the other hand, just around the corner of Sibiu, the European Capital of Culture in the heart of Transylvania.
Standing for over 140 years, it is the granddaddy of our holiday homes, and that is why we have renovated it with the utmost care: great patience, attention to detail and respect for its builder, preserving and restoring everything that could be saved. You'll find peace and quiet here, unspoilt nature, a breath of the past, and the oldest primeval beech forest in Europe on your doorstep.

For more information please visit our multilingual website www.casa-vale.net through the link “book online now” on the right. There you'll find detailed descriptions of all our 7 cottages, villas and holiday flats, photo galleries, virtual tours, guestbooks - and of course the rates, avalabilities and booking conditions.

Casa Nicu

is a traditional house with a special charm, being the oldest of our houses. Its aspect has not changed for a century and it has the perfect air for an authentic holiday in the countryside.

The holiday rental accommodates 2 people as standard. Since the bedroom and the eat-in kitchen are very spacious, even a third person can fit comfortably. On request you can get an extra bed for 12 €/night additionally.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for self catering: gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, toaster, espresso and coffee machine, french press coffee maker, teapot, of course plenty of dishes and cutlery, 25 diferent spices, and more..

In the bathroom you will find towels, soap, shower gel and of course toilet paper.

An LED-TV and Wi-Fi internet is available for free in all rooms and on the cozy terrace in the courtyard.

The cottage is heated by a terracotta stove, completely rebuilt. This stove not only produces radiant heat, but at the same time supplies all the radiators in the house with hot water. When the fire dies down or if you prefer a more convenient heating method, a gas boiler controlled by a room thermostat starts automatically.

The enclosed courtyard is a leafy feast for the eyes. Here you can relax on the covered terrace, uncork a bottle of wine or unpack the card game. Or walk up a few steps through the village, with Europe's oldest beech forest ahead and the open valley in your back. If you’re longing for wide open spaces, here’s your treat!

We offer more than just accommodation

On request, our cook provides breakfast or swings the wooden spoon. She conjures traditional menus fresh to the table, and you'll hardly find tastier meals this side of the Carpathians.
Also available are farm products from the village, such as fresh milk, cow's and sheep’s cheese, eggs, forest honey, homemade jam and zakusca, pickled vegetables, wine, schnaps, cranberry liqueur, and much more.
Last not least, transfer from Sibiu airport or railway station is included, and upon request we’ll provide you with a reliable rental car.

We run 7 holiday homes known as ‘Casa Vale din deal’.

Here you will find traditional houses and villas scattered in the pastoral village of Vale, right at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. A perfect place to escape from offices and urban exaggerations. And an excellent choice for lovers of untouched nature, who prefer to wander through intact forests and taste a pinch of rural serenity, instead of splashing around in the chlorinated pool of a 5-star hotel.

We are located in the special area of the Marginimea Sibiului, called the 'home of shepherds'. Due to the special mixture of Daco-Roman architecture and traditions, Saxon fortified churches, traditional crafts and unique local gastronomy, the region has been declared a 'European Destination of Excellence'. On the one hand in the middle of nowhere, on the other hand only traditional houses and villas scattered in the pastoral village of Vale, the 'European Capital of Culture' in the heart of Romania.

The village nestles on a mountain slope overlooking the vast Transylvanian plain. It is touched by a tarmac road but there are mostly cobblestoned streets and dirt trails leading up into the hills. There you walk through the oldest beech forest of the continent to reach the mountain meadows with its unique flora and fauna, where your neighbors will be sheep and horses grazing freely.

We offer two spacious villas for special demands, four cottages renovated in a traditional style, and a small but comfortable apartment. All homes are self catering accommodations and spread in the village. They have been built from scratch or refurbished from old farmhouses by our own villager-based construction company within nine years of intense work.
We combined local building styles and craftsmanship with contemporary materials, proceeding always with attention to detail and respect towards the traditions of the area. It was a pleasure to watch the cottages grow and their souls revive, while preserving the simplicity of bygone times.
The result is an encounter of different ages and cultures in five oases of well-being, each of them having their distinctive and special ambiance in a place which - as we hope - will remain for a long time spared from the hustle of civilizational imbalances.

Each home has a fully equipped kitchen for self catering, high-speed Wi-Fi, a washing machine and at least a terrace. The two villas also offer a living room with fireplace and a garden with barbecue and parking. Exceptional cleanliness awaits you everywhere.

See you soon in Vale!
