Description
Wine tourism in Transylvania
Villa Rihuini is a traditional Saxon guesthouse located in one of the most charming villages in Transylvania, Richiș (Sibiu county).
The German name of the village - Reichesdorf - alludes to the richness of these places. The surrounding hills were in the past the home for vast vineyards, occupying more than 300 ha. Moreover, the many orchards and sustainable agriculture practices contributed to the fame of this Saxon village.
Neither is our guesthouse named by chance: Villa Rihuini, as the village was first mentioned in Latin historical documents, will offer you a truly enchanting experience of Transylvanian wine tourism, in pure spirit of this age-long local tradition.
Our family grows the largest and one of the last noble vineyards in the village, and has laid the cornerstone of local, rural ecotourism, with over 30 years of experience.
We make wine using original tools and equipment, and the entire process is by hand, just as it used to be back in the day. Therefore, a vacation here will not only bring you the joy of local wines, crafted with care, hard work, and passion, but also the opportunity to support the further development of our village's winemaking tradition.
Stay in an almost two-century-old traditional house
At Villa Rihuini you will stay in a traditional Saxon house, restored by our family with the help of local craftsmen, using 100% ecological materials (linseed oil, natural wax, water-based paint, lime and water whitewash).
The furniture has also been carefully restored, in order to preserve its authentic charm, typical for Saxon craftsmanship. Also, most of the decorations are handcrafted.
Our guests will be accommodated in three double rooms, with separate access. The house includes two indoor bathrooms (modern, this time) and two fully equipped kitchens.
The courtyard is full of flowers, from early spring till late autumn. The s and perfume of tulips, roses, honeysuckle, and many other seasonal flowers complete the picturesque scenery of Saxon households. A true small paradise.
Here you can relax in a hammock, in the handcrafted porch swing, by the camp fire or in the restored barn. In the evenings, you may enjoy dinner along a glass (or two) of our wines, or organize small parties and private events. In the morning, coffee or tea can be accompanied by a delicious, organic breakfast.
Our household's cook is one of the most skillful and experienced in the village. You may certainly expect to have a taste of the local authentic cuisine, based on ingredients grown in our own garden or in the surrounding area.
One of our purposes is to support local producers, as we believe this is the only way to develop a sustainable community.
Other activities in Richiș, at Villa Rihuini
We can rent you bikes for exploring the surroundings, with spectacular landscapes and medieval sites characteristic for the region. The trails marked by Colinele Transilvaniei are also perfect for hiking. We can also organize horse-cart trips to our vineyards, the nearby sheepfolds or neighboring villages.
We offer local wine tastings, campfires with brandy and sizzling bacon, and other locally flavored entertaining activities.
And since you are here, you may pay a visit to the closest neighboring village, Biertan. There you will find the most visited rural citadel in Transylvania, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage landmark.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Amazing place
A great restored house with all the facilities needed for a good stay. Friendly hosts, good location, from where you can easily reach Richis, Biertan, Sighisoara. Should I mention the wine? It was my favorite part. :) No headache in the morning. Will I be back? For sure? Do I recommend it? Yes, with an open heart. Congratulations for all your work!
Such an authentic experience!
We had a great experience at Ruihini, thanks to our hosts! It is a very authentic place, an old saxon house, where every item, every furniture, every cloth has been restored. The yard is also a wonderful place to be, especially during autumn, when you can admire the whole nature from the swing. If you are a wine lover, you will love their assortments. They are derived from the famous Richis Wine. They also have a pantry, where you can try the local jam and zacusca. Totally recommend!
Welcome home
Me and my family stayed for a week at Villa Rihuini, working from home, enjoying the country life, and taking some time away from the busy city. Despite this being our first time at the Villa, we felt home from the moment we walked in. Both the village, the house with all its comforts and Alex and his family make sure your stay was relaxing and worry free. Our young children enjoyed the rural scenery, feeding the chickens, playing with the dogs and bunnies, and taking horse carriage rides into the hills to chase the sheep and enjoy a picnic with views of the Saxon villages and their towering fortified churches. Highly recommend Villa Rihuini to anyone of any age. Thanks Alex for your hospitality and mom for the wonderful meals!
Wonderful authentic saxon wine house
Rihuini is a fairytale place, full of history and positiv vibes. I really love my experience in this house and I will come back for sure. People are very nice and friendly and the wine very tasty and natural. I really recomand an experience here! Cheers
Great experience!
If you dare to try another type of tourism, you might be amazed. Great place in Richis, in the middle of the Transylvanian fortified churches area, close to any point of interest: Biertan, Sighisoara, Sibiu, etc. Very comfortable place, the hosts make you feel better than home, food is all local product, and the big plus is that the owner is also a wine producer. All accommodation needed, great yard still full of flowers and green in October, at least an Owl in the trees around to fill the silence and a happy dog #Beny to make you smile.
