Holiday farm at the foot of the Transylvanian Carpathians • great for families with children
Here you will find the detailed description of the farm,
and here are our other holiday cottages and farmhouses in a quaint Carpathian village.
• Casa Lopo •
Traditional farm in a shepherd's village with a very special atmosphere. We have respectfully preserved the old ...
...creatively invented the new, and combined architectural styles, cultures and preferences into a special composition.
You expect 3 rooms, an extravagant bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and a courtyard terrace for up to 6 relaxed people.

From the village street ...
... we enter the courtyard.
Behind the corner of the house, the courtyard opens up ...
... with the terrace ...
... which we take a closer look at ...
.... before we turn towards the house entrance.
Through the hallway ...
... we enter the kitchen ...
... fully equipped for self-catering.
The large room is flooded with light ...
... because of its four windows ...
... two of which point out onto the street.
We turn around towards the kitchen ...
... and from here ...
... into the second room ...
... with windows leading to the hallway and the courtyard.
Just like the kitchen, we also provided this room with a ceiling window.
For the new bathroom, in the extension of the hallway, we moved the wooden beams of the house wall ...
... but kept the old window (on the right, looking into the kitchen.
The hallway leads us back into the courtyard.
We turn to the annex ...
... which houses the third room ...
... small but nice, and perfectly suitable for teenagers who want to be undisturbed.
The barn in all its glory ...
... and a somewhat hidden detail.
Through the barn ...
... we reach the garden with various fruit trees..
The rear of the barn, here still with the remains of building material.
Back in the courtyard ...
... we meet a bright red sunset.
Towards the courtyard gate ...
... we pass the water column ...
... and right next to the courtyard entrance ...
... the access to the cellar.
Casa Lopo finally again from the outside ....
... with a final street view.

After a view from the village bridge ...
... we approach the village square.
A neighbor lives here, offering eggs, canned vegetables, homemade jams and zacuska ...
... and here two procured a slightly different food for the winter.
The village road leads up ...
... past the Orthodox Church.
The village is now mostly under us ...
... and somewhere there a native sloth snors to the beat of a woodpecker.
