A living world of crafts
A world of potters and local craftspeople where Székely craftsmanship is not kept behind glass, but continues in working workshops today.
Bear Lake and nature
Bathing, wellness and easy walks around the lakes – a good choice for a slower day or a break between excursions.

Salt Region and the surrounding area
See a different Transylvania with a local host
For us, hospitality does not end at the room door. As locals we know Salt Region, and as a local guide we also know many regions, stories and lesser-known sights across Transylvania.
If you wish, we can help plan your days here: what is worth seeing nearby, where to go for a day out, where to meet local craftspeople and which experiences best suit your family or group.
We do not want to impose a standard itinerary on our guests. We would rather hear what interests you and recommend options that fit.
“We want you to go home remembering not only where you slept, but what you experienced in Transylvania.”
A place worth coming back to
A very family-friendly setting and a warm welcome. The beautiful garden offers plenty of ways to relax.
Clean, well-equipped and comfortable accommodation with very good value for money. The hosts were especially kind, helpful and always available.
A pleasant garden, a clean and spacious room, a well-designed barbecue area and welcoming hosts – a place we would gladly return to.
