The accomodation is located at the edge of the shepherd's village Vale in an absolutely peaceful spot and surrounded by 5.000 m² gardens. The only through traffic you will get consists of one or two horse carts bringing in the hay from the nearby hills. We rent out this cottage since June 2013. It offers spacious 152 m² of living space for 6 (to 8) persons on two floors. You enter the house through a courtyard and a staircase. The 34 m² large living room with oak parquet is located on the mezzanine floor. It includes an open kitchen, a bricked fire place, LED TV (Astra satellite) and ten seats at two tables. From the adjoining balcony you can look into the valley or follow the sun as it goes down right between the crests of two forested mountains. The open kitchen is fully equipped for self catering with a large fridge combo, gas stove, coffee maker, espresso machine, toaster, kettle, spices and more. The first room (17 m²) with windows opening to the East, South and West is accessible from both the living room and the outer hallway. Also the first bathroom (3 m²) adjoins the living. An interior staircase leads to the two light-flooded rooms in the attic with balcony. With its 24 and 32m², they can easily be used as lounge for an entire group. Dormers and windows are opening in three directions and allow the sun to spread in the rooms any time of day. The view is impressive: into the vastness of the valley, onto forested mountains and in good weather up to the snowy peaks of the Fagaras Mountains. The second bathroom (8 m²) with shower, tub, toilet, washing machine and house pharmacy branches off from the hallway between the rooms. Each room is equipped with a double bed, TV, plants and an infrared panel. In the largest room, a sofa bed is available for up to two other persons. On arrival, you will find the beds freshly made. Towels, soap and shower gel are also provided. The entire interior of the house was chosen with care and is new, including kitchen and sanitation facilities, mattresses and laundry. All furniture, windows, doors and stairs where consistently made to measure and the rear ventilated larch facade ensures a healthy indoor climate in all seasons. The solar assisted central heating is backed up threefold. Usually, you'll heat by the water-bearing fire place in the living room (firewood included), which supplies the radiators in all rooms. Otherwise, a gas burner and / or the infrared panels will start up automatically at no additional costs for you. The gardens (5.000 m²) are fenced and adjacent to the surrounding hills. Here you can relax on a covered patio, roast your steak on the stonewalled barbecue or enjoy the evening at an open fire, proposing a toast to the awaking crickets. Maybe you just sit down under an apple tree, listen to the birds and let the thoughts drift by … We rent out this accomodation separately or in combination with the two-person-apartment Zollo II on the ground floor. It has a separate entrance, private terrace, kitchen and bathroom. • For 6 (to 8) persons • 3 rooms with panoramic view and balcony • 2 bathrooms, one of them with tub and washing machine • Large living room with open kitchen, fireplace and balcony • 2 gardens with parking lot, covered patio, BBQ and fireplace • Minimum stay: 3 or 5 nights (seasonal) • Rates: Euro 75 - 115 per night • Additional charge from the 7th person: Euro 10/night • Discount after day 15 ________________________________________________________ ••• We offer more than just accommodation ••• • The transfer from Sibiu airport or train station is free and, on request, we provide a cheap rental car. • On request, our cook will provide you with breakfast or swing the wooden spoon. She conjures traditional menus fresh to the table to pre-arranged times. Also farm products from the village are available, such as: fresh milk straight from the udder, goat or sheep's cheese, forest honey and homemade jam, Zakusca, canned vegetables, wine and schnapps. Please request our offers and price list. • On request: UMTS stick (mobile internet connection) with or without a laptop, phone, shopping prior to your arrival, osteopathic treatment, riding horse, cot, rides in a donkey cart for children. • Tip: trip to our shepherds hut (Cozo Fantu) in the high meadows. Without comfort but with lots of fresh mountain air for stressed lungs. A source emerges a stone's throw away, the cherries hanging in the trees, and cheese and milk you can get from the shepherd next door. Rise in horse cart and traditional shepherds stew on request. We aren't studied tourism experts. We live in Vale and have joined together in a small and family-type construction company. By this company, we have given five houses a complete overhaul or constructed them from scratch. With attention to detail all along, with respect to the traditional style of the area, but also with a view to modern building materials and contemporary housing needs. The result is the encounter of different ages and cultures in five oasis of wellbeing, each of them with their own flair, distinctive and special in a place which – we hope – will be sidestepped by the world's hustle for a long time to come. After eight years of work - with many possibilities for creative design - we put trowels and planing aside for a while and breathe a sigh. Of the income of the vacation rentals (your money) on the one hand the 'investor' is served. On the other hand, the administration allows two families an extra income. When we cook for you, if you order local products or plan a trip in a horse cart, other villagers have a benefit. Finally, we are planning a soup kitchen for the less well-off families in the village, which also will be financed from the proceeds of the accomodations. We foster a climate of openness and equality-based relationships. _________________________________________________________ Location of objectSome say it looks as though time were frozen and that a great deal of things aren't perfect. The culture seems to be alien and the nature is unique and untouched. It may occur to you that this is the charm of the extraordinary before being run over by the advance of civilization.The shepherds village of Vale is located close to the European route 68/81 but still in the middle of nowhere. A tarmac road grazes the village, but in large parts there are cobblestone roads and dirt trails leading up into the hills. Here, traditional structures and lowbrow hospitality have survived and the breath of the past is perceptible everywhere. Horses, cows and goats are still part of the village landscape and the farmers take up their scythes and plant corn, potatoes and vegetables to preserve them for winter. There is a small shop in Vale. The small town of Saliste 3 km away offers more shops, restaurants and a farmers market. Whatever is missing here can be found in Sibiu 20 km away at the Zibins market, in retail stores or supermarkets such as Real, Carrefour and Lidl. The open-air Marmelada swimming pool lies just across the hill 20 minutes walk away, and so does the first of six lakes in the valley. In 10 minutes you have left the village below, passing on your ascent dozens of hand-carved wooden sculptures on the Poiana Soarelui (sunny glade), to arrive at the mountain meadows with a unique view across the vastness of the Transylvanian Plain. You hike through a flora and fauna deemed to be singular in Europe. If you don't watch your step you will stumble over lizards and salamanders and have the wild boars laugh at you. Connoisseurs are attracted to the mountain lake at Gura Raului (12 km). It lies in a depression surrounded by forest and is fed by several streams. The water is clear, and in the evening you can light a fire and watch the fish jump for flies. The serenity of this place can't be captured in a single image, but whoever has been there won't easily forget it. _________________________________________________________ Town: Romania, Siebenbürgen-Transsilvanien, ValeIf you want to delve into the country's history in the face of old stonework or become acquainted with Romania and its people, you are in your right spot here.Heist and highway robbery are tales from the years following the political change and Count Dracula obviously exists only in movies. Most people in these parts are open-minded if met with respect and many of them speak English, so communication works without troubles. Scattered across the countryside are ancient fortified churches, Dacian ruins, abandoned Roman mines and caves. Every small town boasts an open market where you can buy garden vegetables, honey, sheep's cheese and sometimes herbs - wherein the tomatos of the peasant woman not only looks different than those from the supermarket, but also tastes different. The city of Sibiu, founded by German-Flemish settlers in 1150, lies just around the corner and to this day is a fountain of cultural diversity. The medieval fortifications enbrace an old town center with historic alleys and restaurants, cafés and bars, some of which are set in vaulted cellars or courtyards. During the summer the town opens up to visitors and regularly organizes events on the central Great Ring, from cabaret and theater, through open-air concerts, to exhibitions of local crafts guilds. The Traditional Village Museum on the outskirts of Sibiu also merits one or two glances. Here, centuries-old log cabins, water mills, blacksmith shops and saw mills from all over the country were reconstructed true to the original. From here it's just a stone's throw to the fortified church of Cisnadioara, one of the oldest Saxon buildings in Transylvania established in the 13th century. It stands on an almost circular mountain top above the village. After taking a walk for hours you will feel your legs. In the saltwater lakes and spas of Ocna Sibiului (25 km) you can soothe your aching bones in brine, stretch out in saltwater reading the newspaper and then coat yourself in mud. If that won't suffice, we will fix you a date with our osteopath. The way back from Sibiu leads you past Cristian (13 km). Here, another Saxon fortified church gives you an impression of how centuries ago people barricaded themselves against Mongols, Turks and Kuruc irregulars. If you are aiming really high, you can choose between two trafficable north-south passes over the Carpathians, both to visit in a day trip: • The 'Transfagarasan' – winding past steep rocks and a waterfall dozens of meters high. On the top awaits you the 'Balea' lake with a hostel and the house of ice. • The 'Transalpina' - at 2.145m the highest trafficable road across the Carpathians, sometimes even above the clouds. Created by the Romans in their campaign against the Dacians, she was forgotten in the meantime and today presents one of the untouched mountain regions in Europe. In both cases you arrive at 'Walachia', the southern part of the country, in a climate zone influenced by the Mediterranean. From here you can return through the 'Olt Valley', the only north-south route through the Carpathians, passing ancient monasteries and partly steep cliffs. Anyone who doesn't stop here must be in a real hurry. If you choose to delve deeper into the history of Romania you will hear about the Dacians. Similar to the Celts in Ireland, they are famous for their mystical traditions and particular skills. Even today the faithful flock to their places of worship, only ruins of which have survived. The last Dacians are said to have taken refuge in the 'Muntii Apuseni' (Central Carpathians, 40 km away), a sparsely populated region on the western border of Transylvania. Today however, this region is known for its caves and abandoned Roman mine tunnels, some of which run hundreds of meters through rock. Skeletons of dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters are found in their depths even today. Early birds can explore this area on a day trip. No matter which way you turn, you will experience amazing things, usually things you never expected … _________________________________________________________ .
