Dear loyal readers, today we continue our journey through the best agrotourism lodgings in Romania stopping at new dreamlike rural areas in the country.
Agrotourism is very much “in trend” nowadays, especially in the West. What is funny though is that the rural life there has been greatly corrupted and overwhelmed by modernity. In Romania, on the other hand, “the old world” lives on and a vacation in our country can prove to be a real escape from the mundane.
Today we lodge in Marginimea Sibiului (at the edge of Sibiu county), a kingdom of deep cool forests, sun-bathed orchards and winding hills with green pastures. Customs and the traditional costumes here have remained intact throughout the centuries, while the place boasts with an outstanding and original architecture.
In Sibiu County, you can find the best agrotourism lodgings available in Gura Raiului (where you can spend your stay at the Casa Lucas Guesthouse, or at Cheile Cibinului Tourist Resort), in Vale (at Casa din Vale) or in Sibiel (where you can find the Lunca Sibielului Guesthouse).
At the crossroads where legend meets reality, Bucovina is another preserver of Romanian customs, proud owner of an unprecedented cultural heritage. Apart from this, it lies in a breathtakingly beautiful natural environment, in the mountains that are home to bears, wild cats, boars and stags. Many of the admirable abbeys in the region are included in the UNESCO World Heritage. Among them, here is Humor Monastery, Sucevita Monastery, Putna Monastery and Voronet, with its unique blue.
In Bucovina, agrotourism is primarily popular in the famous Suceava resort Vatra Dornei, in Perla Bucovinei Guesthouse in Voronet, in Gura Humorului (where you can, for instance, opt for the Sticletii Bucovinei Guesthouse) or in Campulung Moldovenesc (where tales are told at Casa Poveste).
For easy transport, we suggest booking with Sibiu car hire for the region Transylvania or with Suceava rent a car if you want to travel to Bucovina.
