Vila Hermani is located at an altitude of 1040 m above sea-level (GPS position: N45°31’26,6”, E25°17’51,1”) in the mountain village of Magura, right in the middle of Piatra Craiului National Park.
Until 50 years ago the village could only be reached on foot or with horse and cart. This is why local traditions are still kept and are still lived by the farmers. Livestock breeding is the basis of the local income, in summer the animals graze in the alpine meadows cared for by shepherds and dogs as protection against wolves and bears. The hay meadows in the village are still scythed and there are more horse-drawn carts than cars on the road.
The guesthouse was opened in 2004 and certified by the Eco-tourism association AER in 2006.
From the balcony or the garden you can enjoy the scenery and the mountains. The scarcity of cars, the clean air, and the freedom of nature make our house a paradise for families with children.
The hosts speak English, German and Romanian.
