The hotel rooms were spacious, clean and quiet, with comfortable beds, and the staff were all friendly and easy to talk to. You can pet the horses, take riding lessons, or visit the very nice animal farm. I was less impressed by the restaurant. People had talked up the food, but I tried it four times and came away disappointed on three visits. At best, the food is average, and the coffee is really bad. They do have a great wine selection, though.

I stopped in for coffee and to see the mini zoo, and ended up having the best time. The farm animals were calm and friendly, while the other section had wildlife, from small peacocks to large ostriches and llamas. I loved seeing them, and their enclosures looked roomy, with space to play and feel safe. The place is quiet and beautiful, with the natural landscape blending into the restaurant and houses. There’s also a little amusement park where kids can play while you eat. You don’t need a reservation or a room booking to visit.

A lovely, well-kept place with horses and farm animals. You can visit without staying there. Entry is 10 lei, or 5 lei for children.

We only came for horse riding and didn’t stay at the hotel. The instructor was professional and very nice, and the kids had a great time with the horses. It was hard to find details about the activity, including its hours and prices.
