Description

You will be staying in a historical monument building, dated sec. XVIII, that belonged to a distinguish family of local boyars (small Romanian nobles).

The house was restored in 2022, keeping the majority of the old elements: floor, ceiling, windows and parts of the furniture. During the restoration, the old barn was rebuilt according to the pictures found, thus adding more space and modern facilities to the small house without affecting in any way it’s architecture. 

Whether you wish only to enjoy the serenity of our small village named Venetia, as the Italian Venice, which dates back with this name at least from 1235, or you just wish to experiment a bit of southern Transylvania, we wish you a very pleasant stay in our house.

ACCOMODATION

The accommodation consists of the apartment on the second floor, with 2 bedrooms (one in the attic), each with a double bed, one generous living room with a relaxing corner couch plus a single bed and an open space fully equipped kitchen. You can enjoy our small, but beautiful garden with its old walnut tree and the first-floor museum with free entrance for our guests.

All rooms are decorated with care and great love, with the original restored pieces of furniture and unique old decorative objects gathered by us in time.

The experience you will have visiting our house is like a travel in time and history, but unlike a museum, you will have the possibility to touch, feel and live with these objects. You will enjoy old architecture, old décor elements, but with all modern facilities.

MORE ABOUT THE HOST

We are a young family with 3 children who rediscovered in 2013 their origins and the village of their great-grandparents. Initially we inherited a house from our grand-parents and we decided to renovated it for our own use.

Once having had a proper place to stay we started to involve more in the cultural and social activities of the village, thus we found out one day that the oldest house in the village was put up for sale. It was in a deplorable state and anyone who bought it would have demolished it, so we felt that it was us who had to buy it in order to save it, as if a voice was calling out for us. With no idea in mind of what to do with it, we bought it.

Once bought we found an architect to see if the house had the assets to become a historic monument. After two years of work, we managed to list it as a Patrimony House. During the process, we had to do a historic study thus discovering the forgotten past of many families from our village, who once were part of the Romanian nobles who defended the Fagaras Fortress.

Because of the communist times, when past noble families were sent to forced labor, taken all their possessions or killed, most people destroyed their documents and stopped talking to their children of their past, so most villagers nowadays did not know anything of their past ancestors.

We are lucky enough to have found 5 original diplomas of nobility for 4 different families in our village, dated between 1630 and 1700. These families still have descendants living in the village at present. What is amazing is how our ancestors have “called out” not to be forgotten and how they “rewarded” those who listened to their voice. If we would have not bought this house, probably the two original diplomas found there would have been destroyed, and with them the forgotten history of our village.

From the two diplomas, one belonged to the family who once lived there, but was left without inheritants- Comanici Family, and the other belonged to the ancestors of the young family who bought the house and redeemed the other’s inheritance- Stoica Family. The two families were related through two brothers who lived in XVI-th century: Koman and StoiKa .  

At the first-floor of the present building, you will find the Museum of Venetian Fagaras Boyars (romanian nobles), a small history museum dedicated to all the Romanian noble families that lived in our village.
