• CASA VALE • Holiday cottages at the foot of the Transylvanian Carpathian Mountains

We offer 7 entirely different holiday homes in and around the shepherds village of Vale, directly at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. On the one hand, far away from the latest trends of time, on the other hand just around the corner from Sibiu, the European Capital of Culture 2007. A good choice for enthusiast of special places who want to add a pinch of Romanian serenity to their live experience.
The village is nestled between the wooded mountains overlooking the Transylvanian plain - in an absolutely peaceful spot with no through traffic. After a short walk you already find yourself in the oldest beech forest on the continent and will experience a unique flora and fauna on your way up to the mountain meadows. Alternatively, benefit from our central location in the heart of Romania and explore sights and trips in all directions.

We are no trained tourism experts. We live in Vale and have joined together in a small and family-type construction company,with which we have given the cottages a complete overhaul or built them from scratch. With attention to detail all along, with respect towards the traditional style of the area, as well as with a view to modern building materials and contemporary housing needs.
The result is an encounter of different ages and cultures in five oases 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.

The villas also offer spacious living rooms with fireplaces and gardens with parking and BBQ.

• CASA PELU •

... houses the completely refurbished living quarters of an abandoned farm. On the solid foundations of the wine cellar and mezzanine floor, we set a new attic with access to a cozy roof terrace. So this cottage is a good choice for those who are curious of how traditional architecture can be extended into modernity.
The double-door walk-in kitchen (13 sqm) is located on the mezzanine floor. It is fully equipped for self-catering, with a fridge, gas stove, coffee maker, and espresso machine, as well as a toaster, kettle, spices, and more. The first room (17 sqm) leads the kitchen. Three windows open the view to the courtyard and onto an alley where goats and sheep pass by in the evenings.
An outside staircase leads to the two light-filled rooms in the attic. The first one (13 sqm) is a connecting room and the second room (17 sqm) leads onto the roof terrace. The view goes into the courtyard, onto wooded mountains or the roofs of the village.
The rooms are equipped with a double bed, mirror cabinet, Wi-Fi internet access and two TVs (Astra Satellite). On arrival you will find the beds freshly made.
The bathroom (8 sqm) used to be the farm’s summer kitchen. It is located underneath the roof terrace and equipped with a shower, bathtub and washing machine. Hand and bath towels are available, as well as soap and shower gel.

The furnishing is high quality and chosen with care, including sanitary facilities, kitchen utensils, mattresses, and bedding. All furniture, newly installed windows, doors, and stairs were consistently made to measure. Each floor and the bathroom are equipped with an electrical infrared panel. The solar-assisted central heating is backed up threefold. Either you fire up the water-bearing tiled stove in the kitchen, which supplies all the radiators in the house, or an automatic control takes over the job and starts a gas heater and / or the infrared panels.
The enclosed courtyard is a leafy feast for the eyes. Here you can relax on another covered terrace, uncork a bottle of wine, or unpack the card game. Or walk a few steps on the hillside above the village, enjoy the vastness of the valley, and let your thoughts drift

The surroundings - Vale, Sibiu, Transylvania, Romania

The shepherds village of Vale is located close to the highway, but still in the middle of nowhere. A tarmac road touches on the village, but in large parts, cobblestone roads and dirt trails lead up into the wooded hills.Traditional structures and straightforward hospitality still hold up in Vale. Horses, cows and goats continue being part of the village landscape, and the farmers take up their scythes and plant corn, potatoes and vegetables to preserve for the winter. The breath of the past can be felt in every nook and cranny here.
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.

Some say that Transylvania appears frozen in time. The culture seems to be stunningly alien, and nature is unique and untouched. Maybe you’ll sense the charm of the extraordinary, perceiving what life was like before it was leveled by the advance of civilization. Until then, have a look around. Take a break and treat yourself to a place where unspoiled nature meets history and traditions. Just make yourself comfortable on the hillside above the village, take a look in the vastness of the valley, and you will wonder about the thoughts popping into your mind out of nowhere .

A trip can take you an hour or a day. It can just take you up the hill slope above the village for a few glances into the vastness of the valley, or to the jumping fishes in the mountain lake of Gura Raului. Maybe you are interested in a Saxon fortified church, in the historic town center of Sibiu, or in a day trip across the Carpathians into the Wallachia on the other side. There are many options: here we propose a few examples.

The open-air Marmelada swimming pool is just across the hill 20 walking minutes away, and so is the first of five lakes in the valley. In 15 minutes you leave the village below you, passing dozens of hand-carved wooden sculptures in the Poiana Soarelui (sunny glade) on your ascent, to arrive at the mountain meadows and enjoy a unique view across the vastness of the Transylvanian Plain after less than two hours. In good weather, you get sweeping views all the way to Sibiu and the Muntii Fagaras mountain range beyond.
Every village offers direct access to the surrounding mountains. A gravel road takes you from Saliste (2 km) to the high plateau of Crint. From Sibiel (2 km) you hike along the stream to a remote monastery in the heart of the forest, from where you walk on to the mountain meadows. Sibiel hosts Romania’s most important museum for icons with reverse glass painting.
Connoisseurs are attracted to the mountain lake at Gura Raului (12 km). It is fed by several rivers and streams, along which you can walk up into the mountains.
The reservoir lies in a depression surrounded b
