Description

Retreat, Relax, Recover  - This is the best place if you search for a natural bio-area, quite place for relaxation and stress recovery. You can come with your family, loved ones, in a couple or in a group - let us know how many guests will be joining and how many rooms you need and we will be happy to send you a personalised proposal tailored to your needs. The minimum stay is 2 nights.

Casa Noah - Sleeping and Relaxing in the gardens

The name of the house comes from a Saxon Poem written as a legend many years ago, in which the most important character was the old former Saxon owner of this house, nicknamed “Noah”. We will reveal you the funny old legend at the fireplace, outside in the garden, among other stories, of course.

We offer for rent two authentic 400-year-old Saxon houses located next to each other (The Yellow and the Green House), offering 3 units (each with 2 double rooms, 1 bathroom, and access to a guest kitchen/kitchenette) plus 1 separate double room with private bathroom. 

The Yellow House has four spacious rooms with original high ceilings decorated partly with Saxon furniture and partly with other traditional objects brought by Paul from all over the world. In some rooms, parts of the walls reveal the original Saxon decorative painting technique, carefully preserved as a quiet testimony to the house’s historic craftsmanship. Each year, we gently reinvent the interiors — moving objects, adding new finds, reshaping details — embracing an ongoing, sustainable process where old pieces are given new life and the houses continue to evolve and breathe, just like us.

Therefore, everywhere around you in the house you will find different old authentic objects that we saved from being thrown into the garbage, that we restored and revalued giving them another life in our Casa Noah.

There is a generous courtyard with different places to slow down, relax, read books that you bring with you or discovered on our shelves or with different working spots (we provide good speed internet) if you need. Surrounded by fruit trees and flowers, with old barns offering shade from the summer sun and traditional outdoor furniture inviting long, shared meals, the courtyard is designed for both retreat and connection.

At the Yellow House, we live here as well, together with our dogs, Noah (12) and Rita (6), our cat Noelle (7), and the many birds, insects, and small unseen creatures that quietly share this place with us. They mostly spend their time in the garden and courtyard, while we live in our own private small house within the Casa Noah Estate, but we will meet for sure from time to time in the garden. 

Just next door to the Yellow House, there is the Green House which is connected also through a backdoor between the courtyards. Here we have the main old Saxon house with two bedrooms, 1 kitchen in between, 1 inside bathroom and 1 outside toilet (in the barn).

Opposite this, there is another traditional blue building in the same courtyard, which used to be the traditional summer kitchen. We transformed it in a double bedroom which has itș own very small kitchenette area and also access to a private bathroom from the outside.

Village - Richis Experience 

A fairytale land, Richiș is one of Transylvania’s most beautiful Saxon villages, perfectly located near historic and picturesque cities like Mediaș, Sighișoara, Sibiu, Târgu Mureș, and Dumbrăveni. We call your stay here a “Richis experience” — because visiting this village is more than a vacation; it’s an invitation to open your heart and immerse yourself in the magic of the Richiș Phenomenon.
 
People come here and forget to LEAVE, but remember to LIVE. Being close to the unspoiled nature is amazing, the colourful and different human beings that are part of the community created in the last years make this village unique and loveable. 
 
If you don't end up in buying a house here as well, for sure you will come back several times. A powerful cultural nest, Richis is just 5 minutes away (by car) from Biertan Fortified Church, part of the Unesco Heritage.
 
On the other hand, in the heart of the Richis Village, there is a hidden jewel - The Evangelic Old Church, where you can discover and explore its secrets. Nevertheless, Richis is well known for tasty good white wine, delicious locally sourced food and never ending green hills, where you can loose yourself in picturesque hikes, alone or together with us and our dogs. 
 
Richiș is likely one of the villages with the highest number of restored Saxon houses, thanks to a strong community of passionate locals and newcomers who understand the importance of preserving and celebrating authenticity.

Culinaire and Nourishing Food

You can cook for yourself, but we can also provide breakfast for an extra fee or traditional meals (including options for vegetarians or vegans) 
 
We can either cook ourselves at Casa Noah for you or we organise dinners “out in the village” (in Richis or in the villages nearby) with local partners that will offer a beautiful culinaire experience. We use, whenever possible, organic ingredients and herbs from our own gardens or from nearby neighbors — including eggs, meat, cheese, honey, marmalades, fresh fruits, and traditional delights like “zacusca” and “slanină.”
 
We love traditional food, but we are also experiencing new recipes that follow vegetarian/vegan options or ayurveda based.
 
Breakfast fee: Adults: 15 Eur/guest | Children: 10 Eur/guest

Experience the surroundings

Paul is a local and international tourguide and Catrinel is a tourism agency manager, so together we can organise for you 1 day guided Transylvanian trip for an extra fee or happily offer advices and tips for where to go for free, when you book your experience with us. 
 
We can rent you bikes for exploring this “Tuscany of the East” on two wheels or we can go on a safari jeep trip with a bohemian picnic stop (available for Summer Days). 
 
We can make daily trips to get to know the locals or to a higher point from where you can see the Carpathian Mountains. We can even organise a spa day for you in Richis or suggest you to go instead having a salty healthy bath either in Bazna or at Ocna Sibiului.
 
If you want to explore Transylvania in a cultural way, than we can suggest a few interesting old churches around, other unspoiled villages - such as Copsa Mare, Alma Vii or Nemsa or you can get the chance to catch during your stay a cultural event organised in the area - such as Sonoro Music Festival or Icon Arts.

Retreat Relax Recover

I, Catrinel, am very passionate about different types of gentle body movement, meditation and essential oils treatment. I can offer for ladies an essential oil treatment with Doterra oils, called “Cells Symphony” or we can meditate together if you feel like.
 
Moreover, our friend, Elena, has renovated an old Saxon house making her dream come true and transform it into a small beautiful spa, called - Zen Barn Spa. She offers different kinds of extraordinary massages and therapies and also paid access to her sauna and jacuzzi. 
 
Getting lost into the nature, listening to the birds or just playing with our funny cat, Noelle or our dogs, Noah and Rita will help you restore as well. We are not finished with the description, but we leave space for surprises and unknown - therefore you can contact us anytime you want.

Simply put: I love this place! The green surrounding it, the vibes, the local design and coziness, the hosts, the community. I was there with some girfriends one summer, but also with my kids and husband. The kids can run around and enjoy and learn new things about the nature and the adults can relax reading a book or just having a coffee with Catrinel and Paul. Catrinelșs breakfast is colourful and full of nutrients and Paulșs travel stories can keep you busy for a full afternoon. The local cuisine is the foodiesș paradise and one of Richisș best kept secrets. Walking around and meeting the neighbours is also super fun to do while there. Love it and fully recommend it!
