Our story
We found it in 2018. It chose us.
Our story began in 2018, when we discovered this magical spot — a hidden gem between the forest and the mountains. With every glance, every birdsong and every murmur of the creek in the garden, we became sure this was the perfect place to unwind with family and friends.
With plenty of enthusiasm, our own savings and support from Romania’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, we renovated the house and landscaped the garden. Step by step, the place became “Ideal for Holidays!” — hence the name.
“On a street where one of the neighbours is the forest.”

What makes it different
When evening falls, the garden lights up.
Strings of warm bulbs trace the pond, the gazebos and the stone paths. We switch them on every evening — and indoors, above every bed, hangs a tree branch with bulbs on ropes. Light is the signature of the house.
Rooms
Every room has its own landscape on the wall.
Five en-suite rooms, each with its own wall mural — rolling hills, a mountain river, a lake with firs, a flower meadow — and a branch pendant with bulbs. Rates are the same on weekdays and weekends.
