This is a family story!
We love traditions and the Romanian village!
Once upon a time there was a family of hard-working people who worked to take care of their family and to have a full life. They had hens, sheep, cows, and even buffaloes (‘drigane’, as they are called around the village). They used to plant their vegetables in ‘tănăroage’ (small patches of land near forests), which was a rare custom, but all the people were growing their vegetables there because they believed that the vegetables grown in the fields are tastier. There was an unwritten law that on Sundays everybody went to church in their folk costumes, costumes which have been kept until nowadays. Before the church service was over, one member of the family would run home to start preparing lunch, a lunch which was special and had lots of traditional tasty dishes. Based on the family traditions, the following generations have continued to use the folk costumes in various events like ‘Fii satului’ (‘Sons of the Village’), ‘Jocul de Crăciun’ (‘The Christmas Dance’), ‘La colindat’ (‘Going Caroling’), while the tasty taste of the food prepared in the area makes you want to come back again and again!
The story of ‘Aer de Munte’ Guesthouse started with the desire to spend more time with the family and to share with you the joy of simple and valuable things. Modesty and simplicity are features of the people in this area and guest are welcomed in this community with a lot of joy. Here we have combined authenticity, tradition, and history, 3 of the ingredients necessary for a novel experience. Time went by, the people and the village have evolved, but the customs of life in the country have remained unchanged. ‘Aer de Munte’ Guesthouse offers you the opportunity to relax in a hammock near a wheat field, accompanied by the signing of birds. An experience where you get to breathe the clean and fresh mountain air among rich vegetation, you get to hear the chatter of the river passing in front of the gate, and you get to enjoy a glass of wine with other traditional and ‘mouth-watering’ goods.
