Big and Rustic

The property is big, eight bedrooms divided into individual apartments. There is a big dining room and nice patio space. The kitchen is a little rough and not conveniently located on the lower level. The property is a bit more rustic than we expected, plumbing leaked and small details were unfinished. The playground area is nice but precariously perched on the side of a cliff, so we weren’t able to just let the kiddos play while we sat on the patio. The village itself is 20 min south of Bran with only very basic grocery options nearby. The views really are incredible and the entrance to the nature reserve/park is just up the road. The owners live in another house on the same property and were very friendly and easy to work with. When deciding between 3 and 4 stars, it really was the service that tipped it 4 stars.

Super weekend!

Cabana Bradul is in the center of Moeciu de Sus. The rooms are excellent, clean and fun. The common area has a sweeping view of the village center. Great kitchen and a store 100 meters away. My hosts Ioana and Nacia were the best: we share beer and good conversation at night and hiked the hills during the day. Easy to explore the village alone also. All people I met were super friendly. I can't say enough. This should be the model for all pensiunes.

Hi there!

We are Nacho and Ioana, a Spanish - Romanian couple, nature lovers and promoters of sustainable tourism. In 2013 we decided to come together with our son and make a living in the village of Moeciu de Sus, which is also Ioana´s birth place. We´re fond of old traditions and customs, which we try to revive, promote and share with all of our guests and friends. We love hiking and living as close as posible to raw nature.

We´ve spent our life working in tourism and we are now puting all our experience at stake for making our guests stay in Romania an unique experience.
