Vâlcea County: soggiorni in alloggi con caminetto

We rented the entire house for three nights to celebrate New Year’s 2025, and everything exceeded our expectations. Our host, Mr. Emil, was exceptional. He stayed on-site throughout our stay and was incredibly helpful. On our first day, he welcomed us with traditional treats like sarmale, salată de boeuf, țuică, and vișinată. He assisted with setting up the fire, cleaned up after us daily, and ensured we had everything we needed. Despite being present throughout our stay, he respected our privacy and allowed us complete freedom to enjoy ourselves without any interference. The house itself was spotless and beautifully maintained. It was an unforgettable trip, and we’re already looking forward to returning!

Posto molto tranquillo in campagna con tutti i confort per la famiglia. Consigliato per passare qualche giorno in relax

O experienta cu adevarat deosebita 💚 Totul a fost perfect!

I rarely find travelling experience authentic as this one and I rarely find hosts with whom we easily connect and communicate with and who seem like good friends you catch up old memories with, with easiness and care for each other’s interests and personal needs. We spent four days in this wonderful traditional village house that Cosmina and Bogdan carefully renovated and gave it a new life, with a lot pf passion and attention for its history, hard work and a sheer stubbornness to keep untouched its traditional vibe, through its old furnishings, furniture and look, while all reconditioned and enchanting. They actually only started this new journey, as they finished the renovations in July and we were one of their first guests. Location. Potecarii is located in the heart of a village which keeps its traditional charm and quiet atmosphere, surrounded by amazing hilltops, forests and stunning views. It is impossible to get bored in such picturesque landscape, which allures you to explore the area. Access is possible by car, parking is provided at the property, just outside its gates. A fully equipped kitchen is attached to all three houses. An enormous backyard, with lush grass, trees (apples, pears, plums) and hammock will totally disconnect you from the noise in the towns you come from. The whole village and area have a reputation of being very safe. The location is optimal for visiting nearby famous caves, monasteries, Horezu town and the magical Transalpina road, all within 30 minutes driving by car. Accommodation. The property consists in three houses, surrounding a very wide courtyard. The houses still mirror the 19th century heritage, and the hosts manage to preserve their old charm, while, in the same time, updating the amenities. Hence, you will benefit from up to date bathrooms, very comfortable beds, with goose feathers pillows, and rooms decorated with traditional carpets from Oltenia region, and very old furniture. We booked Casa Gruia and Casa Novac, the latter being the biggest one, but both charming. Each of the two provide two rooms, which share a bathroom. The houses were spotlessly clean. Actually the hosts put a lot of emphasis on cleanness and they personally thoroughly clean the houses, until they manage to find someone to help them to deliver their high standards in cleanness. Meals. A great deal of accent is put on local produce, as the hosts try to build a connection between locals and travellers, delivering local vegetables, fruits, fresh bread, a variety of dairy products, special mushrooms, local wine and much more. They can arrange daily breakfast and dinner, each day will introduce you to new delicious cheeses, yoghurts and very enticing traditional dinners, and they will proudly share the origin of each dish. Cosmina always managed to surprise us with goodies. Very good coffee and a coffee machine is at your disposal at all times. The table setting is very traditionally arranged in the old barn (“sura”), you cannot get a more authentic experience than this. Hosts. With a genuine gift for storytelling, Cosmina and Bogdan shared with us lovely and interesting tales about the land, the village, the locals, the attractions, as they are truly knowledgeable about the history and travelling experiences nearby, and they will guide you and offer you any needed advice. Their sheer energy, positivity and passion for their project is just admirable, and they seem committed and motivated to deliver high quality and professional yet personalized services to all their travellers.

Amazing place. Private, clean and beautiful. We found everything we needed for our stay. Just like in our own homes. Totally recommend this place and we will definitely book it again.

The apartment is lovely: spacious, super clean, exactly like in the photos and equipped with everything. Quiet area, 5 min walk from Cascade restaurant (good food). Would come again.
