Response from the owner What a lovely young couple and just what a pleasure to have them as guests at casa roger. I am so pleased to be able to introduce guests to lovely Romania many people come here with strange ideas about Dracula,Gypsies and abandoned babies but Romania is so much more and is steeped in tradition. Guests come not sure of what to expect but go away as sure friends of Romania. So refreshing to meet up with youngsters and so lovely to have them leave such generous reviews. Thank you so much - Multumesc mult - Til we meet again

“Amazing just Amazing”
My wife and I have today come home from the best holiday ever. Firstly I must say what a lovely gentleman Roger is he made us feel safe and welcome and made our holiday really special taking us to some amazing local sights and giving sound advise when we went out exploring. Casa Roger is lovely we awoke in the morning to peace and views second to none,every day in Romania is special from the local markets to the off road tour Roger took us on in his 4x4,the long drive we took along the mountains with lakes and endless forests with snow peaked mountains and fresh flowing rivers the local monastry and castles full of wonder this holiday had every thing we could wish for and more. Romania is a gem the people warm and lovely,you can buy local honey which is from mountain Bees so cheaply and nothing in the UK comes close and the local produce is fresh and organic give it a good wash and wow the taste of veg before supermarkets full of flavour. Casa Roger is warm and has all you need with charm and again views to die for. We will be back for sure, never had peace like this a happy lovely time to be had by all but please not too many people we have just found this gem and do not want to lose it. Thank you Roger you are a star.

Response from the owner I am very happy with this lovely couple and slightly embarrassed by their volume of praises.What lovely people they were and it was a delight to show them the real Romania away from city stuff. I do so hope they return so we can have further explorations. Thank you both so very much and don't forget May is the month of the local festival - Til we meet again aufwiedersehen

Response from the owner What a lovely week it was and such a pleasure to have this family come and stay. While financial gain is important when running a small business it is not my motivating force. If my guests have a lovely and happy time then that is enough for me knowing they were happy and enjoyed what Romania had to offer them. I am particularly grateful for their comments they were most generous (incidentally I do have a microwave ha ha) I do look forward to seeing them again in the near future - Thank you so much.

“A great place that urges you to come back with pleasure.”
Roger House is situated in a wonderful place in the foothills of Surianu mountains, an area with a great view, with numerous hiking trails for those who love. Atmosphere of the place transpose you in a world situated at the threshold of civilization where you feel that time is running slower and the pace of life is different. Accommodation conditions are good, as well as the access road. House facilities are modern and fully satisfy all requirements. Also the space around the house is well equipped: outdoor terrace, sunbeds and barbecue place. I recommend this place with great confidence...and look forward to returning.

I am grateful that this kind guest took the trouble to write a review - Thank you very much - (Multumesc foarte mult)

“A walkers retreat with plenty to recommend it.”
Our host, Roger, met us at the 'local' supermarket and we followed him back up a mountain road past waving local villagers to an eagle's nest of a location high in the hills. The road up is tarmac to about half way then becomes a dirt track which is no real problem to travel even in a small hire car. As we drove up we passed view after view which became progressively more impressive as we climbed the hill up towards 'Casa Roger', the self-catering holiday let that was once our host's main residence but has now been modified to suit groups of 2-6 people (there are three separate bedrooms and a large, open lounge and dining room area). The kitchen has all the requisite fixtures and a view across the valley to the hills beyond. Outside are several seating areas including a table to site 8-10 around and a garden benefiting from the presence of many of the local wildflowers. Eagles soar overhead with only the occasional farm vehicle bumping past carrying shepherds from the high meadows or the supplies that go up to what must be the remotest 'shop' we had ever seen! Roger, for the price of the fuel only, took us in his 4-wheel drive up to the very highest terrain where we met some of the Romanian people who recognise him on sight and were always hospitable and helpful. Because of the charitable work he carries out for the local community, Roger is a bit of a local celebrity and if ever caught out on a long walk where poor weather or injury intervene, just flag down any vehicle that passes and say 'Casa Roger' and you'll be guaranteed a lift home. The weather is very changeable and hard to predict - even by the locals on a day to day basis. We had temperatures up to 32 degrees, plenty of sun and a few thunderstorms thrown in for good Transylvanian dramatic effect. Walks are from the front door and can be from an hour to a whole day according to how adventurous you feel. All of them are completely safe and there is plenty that passes you by as you travel - flowers, birds (including two species of Eagle) and assorted reptile life scuttling away as you approach on the track. Although there are wild bears and wolves in the hills they don't come down to the area where the property is located. Earlier in our trip we were lucky enough to see three brown bears on a hillside opposite our accommodation and it is possible to arrange 'tracking' tours to go to the areas where the bears are if that's your thing. All in all, the property is warm (with a very efficient log burning ceramic faced stove), comfortable and commands excellent views of the fantastic countryside. As a host, Roger is attentive but not intrusive and his knowledge of the area, the people and their customs is a bonus for those who wan't to learn more about the hardest working people you'll meet up a mountain. Well recommended for couples or small groups enjoying walking and tranquility and for whom phones and the internet are things to be avoided when away on holiday. Families with small children will find it too remote I suspect and there are few 'attractions' to amuse the average 5-12 year old. We took a chance on a country and region that we knew very little about and would recommend that readers do the same and experience it for themselves. Living is VERY cheap (a week's food shop including wine was around £30, coffee in a bar or cafe around £0.80p) and the scenery is spectacular and unspoilt. No vampires either by the way.

Response from the owner I am forever in the debt of such kind guests who leave such comprehensive and detailed reviews I enjoyed immenseley meeting this couple as I do all my visitors and am so pleased they were pleased with what I had on offer. If my guests go away happy and have enjoyed the Romanian experience then I am happy financial considerations are not so important but the happiness of my guests are. Romania is an almost unknown quantity at the moment and it is my hope that forward thinking and discerning guests that travel to this almost hitherto unknown holiday destination will go away and spread the word that Romania is so much more than abandoned babies,Dracula and Gypsies. Romania is steeped in history,culture beauty and tradition home to one of the kindest and most hospitable people in Europe - Thank You and do look forward to hearing from you again and just maybe hearing from your friends - Good fortune and health from Transylvania
