Back roads, small producers and villages where everyday Romanian life is still part of the experience.
Everyone has heard of Bran Castle. Far fewer people have eaten lunch in a Saxon farmhouse, walked through the hamlets of the Apuseni Mountains or watched a winemaker open his own cellar.
Villages without a car park
Some of the most beautiful villages in Romania have no room for a coach. That is exactly why we love them.
Makers, not shops
Cheese from the shepherd, honey from the beekeeper, bread from the village oven. We visit the people who make things, not the shops that sell them.
The secondary road
When there are two roads, we usually take the slower one. It is where you find the orchards, the wayside crosses and the unexpected coffee stop.
