A village, a cliff, a cave.

The guesthouse sits right in the village of Sub Piatra, at the edge of the forest, with Bedeleu above and Huda lui Papară barely three hundred metres away. The mornings are quiet, and the air comes down clean and cool off the plateau.

We have 24 rooms, a restaurant with home cooking, a spa centre with a pool, parking at the gate, and food made from what the area provides. Enough to stay a whole holiday without going down to town.
