Moments to expect during your stay at this agrotourism farm in Transylvania:

Horse cart ride on the surrounding hills

This is the perfect way to explore the surrounding area and also to see how people travelled in the past. Just sit and relax in the soft hay, while riding on the surrounding hills and admiring splendid views of the Fagaras, Piatra Craiului, Bucegi and Persani Mountains.

Birdwatching on the hills [optional]

The hills around are rich in many bird species, and a colony of bee-eaters is nesting in a vertical clay bank very close to the village. We can arrange for a guide to take you around, and give you competent details about the wounderful world of birds. Best time for this is either early morning, or late in the afternoon.

I have strong beliefs on matters such as ecotourism, recycling, upcycling and conservation - so I joined a local non-profit doing this. Come and join us at our farm to go back in time! "Nature is not a place to visit, it is HOME". So welcome home :)

I like: I love the outdoors, and nature in general. I'm a major tree hugger and an avid animal lover. Traveling excites my inner child, and reading fuels my curiosity!

I speak: english, french, hungarian, italian, romanian, spanish

Cancelation & refund policy

Easy

Sends us or the guide an email 24h before the tour informing us you can't make it and you'll get a full refund of your payment, no questions asked.

Staying on the farm in the beautiful Romanian countryside was amazing! I would recommend this experience to anyone.

Fabricio S. on 21.04.2019

We had a wonderful time out in pastures of Cobor! We met shepherds and a rare breed of cattle. Beautiful landscape. The accommodation was extremely cosy and comfortable! The food was delicious. A very memorable experience!

Michelle L. on 16.10.2018

This was a restful break in our 3-week trip. Our guide Iulia was a wealth of information. The highlight of this was the 3-hour horse cart ride through rolling hills and forests. We didn't want it to end. I also appreciated that the organization that owns the farm believes in operating a sustainable farm and acting as a role model. Early morning walk through the village, a visit to the local fortified church and cemetery, seeing the horses running and playing in the large pasture, meeting the heritage Hungarian gray cattle herd, playing with the resident cat and dogs, the list of small delights goes on. A great experience, thank you!

I really thank you, my Romanian Friend! You have made my stay in Romania special memory. Romania has impressively beautiful nature and villages. I wanted to see real Romania and Iulia granted my wish :) Even horse ride came true while staying at a rural farm in Transylvania! I came from Tokyo- crowded, sleepless, the largest city in Japan. The life felt very different when visiting traditional Romanian villages. It felt calm, delightful, simple, traditional, happy.... :) that's what I wanted to see long time! Without you, my trip to Romania wouldn't be very different from the trip to other European countries. I fell in love with authentic Romania and will be back for sure. Murtumescu!
