traditional Carpathian farm in Transylvania Romania

for a perfect family holiday

in a quaint shepherds village near Sibiu

traditional carpathian farm for your family holidays near Sibiu, Transylvania Romania.

Casa Rico    is our latest jewel, ideal for family holidays and groups. The former farmhouse is located above the village in the hills. It consists of a 142-year-old, completely renovated wooden house and a brick house, which we are still working on. In between is a cosy courtyard with a spacious south-facing terrace. The view extends over the village, wooded mountains and down to the plains of Transylvania.

We're renovating the brick house (4 sleeps, 2 bedrooms) by June 2026. Until then, only the wooden house (another 2 bedrooms and 4 sleeps) and, of course, the entire courtyard are ready for occupancy. We are offering a special price for all bookings until May 2026.

The special atmosphere can be felt in every corner. We have awoken slumbering gems from decades of deep sleep with patience and attention to detail, carefully adding modern living aspects that should not be missing. Now this holiday home is a great choice for families with children who prefer to get a taste of the lifestyle of bygone times on their holiday in Romania rather than splashing around in the chlorinated pool of a 5-star hotel.

You enter the old farmhouse via the external hallway and reach the spacious living room with open kitchen, tiled stove and seating for up to 10 people. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering with a fridge-freezer, electric cooker, dishwasher, kettle, espresso/coffee machine, toaster and plenty of crockery, spices, soaps, etc. Two dormer windows provide the living room with light and morning sunshine from above.
The two bedrooms are furnished with double beds, antique wardrobes, a table and stools. The shower room features a washing machine and is accessible from the inner hallway.

A staircase leads from the outer hallway to the rustic attic. Here you can relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the impressive view of the village and the sun-drenched surrounding mountains.
Two acacia tables will soon be placed on the south terrace in the courtyard next to an old wine barrel with bar stools. Another kitchen with a gas stove has already been set up. It is based on the traditional way of life in Transylvania, where summer life and work mostly take place outdoors. Next to the terrace is another shower room, directly accessible from the courtyard.

Fast WiFi is available throughout the farm via fibre optic cable, and each room has an LED television with cable and ASTRA satellite connection. Upon arrival, you will find the beds freshly made and bath, hand and kitchen towels provided.
Hot water is generated by a solar system, and heating is provided by a gas boiler in cooperation with the tiled stove, which supplies a buffer tank via built-in water pipes and, through this, all radiators in the house.

The synchronisation of the heat sources runs automatically. All you have to do is set the desired temperature on a room thermostat and not worry about anything else. Firewood is included.

Of course, our optional services also apply here, such as breakfast, traditional menus or farm products from the village. The transfer from Sibiu railway station or airport is included, and on request you can order one of our rental cars, get a cot for your baby and a high chair.

The current pictures show some unfinished thinmgs, also some interior furnishings are still missing. In summer, the courtyard will be green. We will sow grass and flowers, tidy up the vine roof and publish current pictures. However, from Christmas 2025, the old farmhouse will be ready for your family holiday.
