Family short break in Transylvania

This short break through the magic land of Transylvania is designed to be also suitable for families with children of all ages. We invite you to Live Transylvania in all senses: see its traditions and Castles, feel its passion, hear its songs, taste its food, shake the hand of its people, and imagine its magic character. Your accommodation for two nights will be in a holiday home located in Sunset Mountains.

"La Motica" is a traditional house that we have moved from Maramures to our property in Sunset Mountains. The house is restored on 2 floors. The first floor resembles the original, traditional house, with the stork and the stove in the "front room", surrounded by walls carefully painted by passionate popular craftsmen ( actually the term in Romanian is “muruiti” – it is an old procedure of covering the walls withclay dipped with water). The kitchen combines modern utilities with the wonders of traditional elements. We have a traditional clay stove but also one modern with gas and one with electricity.

The house is situated on a mountain, 500 meters away from the road on which traffic is an exception. You can hear the river Aries roaring and you can hear the birds singing in the forest that surround the house. Local people are living in the vicinity.

In the vicinity of Motica, you can visit Remetea village and monastery (8 km), Turda Salt Mine (20 km), Turda Gorges (15 km), Coltesti (11 km), Huda lui Papara Cave (33 km) or the Scarisoara Glacier (104 km).

Venue: Buru Village, Cluj county, about 20 km away from Turda city
