Grigorescu Mansion is a small private, family-run venue near the Muddy Volcanoes, in Buzau Valley. The abandoned mansion from 1930 and surrounding buildings were bought in 2011 by Juranda and Thorsten, a Romanian-German couple. Everything was renovated step by step with local craftsmen and local construction materials.
Today, the mansion is family home and head office of Terra Carpatica – a slow food provider and producer of home-made preservatives. 3 apartment/rooms are provided in the new build Wallachian style country house Casa Noelia (annex of Grigorescu Mansion) and in the newly renovated “Grandmother’s house” with a total capacity of 10 persons.
The location is an insider tip for guest who like culinary experiences and a family atmosphere. For guests and private groups a slow food 3-courses dinner or a New Romanian Cuisine cooking class is offered upon request. The menu is established on a daily base, depending on available fresh products from the region and own production. Vegetarian or special allergen-free menus are available upon request.
Please note that Conacul Grigorescu has no restaurant open to the public. Breakfast with local and home-made produce is included in the accommodation price.
An outdoor swimming pool is currently under construction and will be available from May 2020 for guests that book accommodation at our place.
