Casa Vale ~ Nicu Chalet Vale

Instead of crowded beaches we propose a tranquil spot to relax and recharge your batteries.

At Casa Vale din deal you will find traditional houses and villas scattered in the pastoral village of Vale, right at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains. A perfect place to escape from offices and urban exaggerations. And an excellent choice for lovers of untouched nature, who prefer to wander through intact forests and taste a pinch of rural serenity, instead of splashing around in the chlorinated pool of a 5-star hotel.

.

We are located in the special area of the Marginimea Sibiului, called the 'home of shepherds'. Due to the special mixture of Daco-Roman architecture and traditions, Saxon fortified churches, traditional crafts and unique local gastronomy, the region has been declared a 'European Destination of Excellence'. On the one hand in the middle of nowhere, on the other hand only two steps away from Sibiu, the 'European Capital of Culture' in the heart of Romania.

The village nestles on a mountain slope overlooking the vast Transylvanian plain. It is touched by a tarmac road but there are mostly cobblestoned streets and dirt trails leading up into the hills. There you walk through the oldest beech forest of the continent to reach the mountain meadows with its unique flora and fauna, where your neighbors will be sheep and horses grazing freely.

.

We offer two spacious villas for special demands, three cottages renovated in a traditional style, and a small but comfortable apartment. All homes are self catering accommodations and spread in the village.

They have been built from scratch or refurbished from old farmhouses by our own villager-based construction company within nine years of intense work. We combined local building styles and craftsmanship with contemporary materials, proceeding always with attention to detail and respect towards the traditions of the area. It was a pleasure to watch the cottages grow and their souls revive, while preserving the simplicity of bygone times. The result is an encounter of different ages and cultures in five oases of well-being, each of them having their distinctive and special ambiance in a place which - as we hope - will remain for a long time spared from the hustle of civilizational imbalances.

.

Casa Nicu is a perfect countryside retreat for singles and couples with the taste of bygone days. The Methuselah among our country cottages has seen 120 years pass by without being overly impressed. While pimping it to a holiday rental we left the original fabric untouched, and so the breath of the past still blows through the patient walls. The cottage offers the following:

• 1 double room and 1 bathroom for 2 (max.3) people.

• Fully equipped kitchen for self catering.

• Fast WiFi everywhere.

• Terrace in the yard.
