Raven's Nest

Perfect combination between the natural beauty of the surroundings and the whole concept of accomodation: old houses painstainkingly refurbished with great care for details but with all the modern amenities, old romanian dishes cooked to perfection, unique Spa area. The staff is wonderful: friendly, nice and ready to help their guests to have a memorable experience.

Our stay at this resort was simply amazing. A piece of paradise in Romania. If you eant tó leave everything behind, enjoy the nature, stroll around and enjoy good food with amazing landscape this needs to be on your bucket list. The staff was amazing and welcoming. The sauna and jacuzzi with 'piece of heaven' view was breathtaking. Rustic design and romanian cuisine was served everyday and the manager Hans and Rudi and the rest of the staff special cudos. I love this place and will come Back.

What an adrenalin-fed drive to the front gate! After a bit of a drive from a one-track road to a smaller track to gravel to dirt with no guardrails and steep drop-offs, I said to our cousin, "where are you taking us?" That's how we arrived. But the staff (who are amazing), the food, and the rustic cabins and the rest of the nicely organized and appointed property turned it all into a satisfying two nights and days. At 900 meters altitude, you get a sweeping view and a hot tub if you like. In the heart of Romania and well worth the drive up! Thanks to Rudolf and Hans for all the care when I pulled my back a little.

No words would be enough to describe the beauty of this place... Simply breathtaking!!! In the middle of nature a hidden nest with nice traditional houses, impeccable customer care services and with all comfort included. They have a gorgeous restaurant also with homemade delicious meals and cocktails and drinks professionally made. The kindness of the personnel is just the cherry on the top of the cake. The terrace on the top of the hill with the view on the large landscape will definetely leave you without words. We used as well the outdoor Spa area with sauna and jacuzzi with the gorgeous 360° view. Was a great experience that you wouldn't want to miss. All in one and simply , this I call perfection! Thank you all for everything, we'll be back as soon as possible! :)

This is one of the most stunning eco-lodges in a Eastern Europe. It’s hard to get to but I have done it twice on a Harley Davidson Fatboy so it’s not that challenging although I wouldn’t advise trying to come in a low slung sports car as there is a substantial dirt road to reach your destination. (I was advised they offer a collection service from the local village) However this is all part of the charm. The staff are upbeat and helpful, the rooms are rustic chic, with highest quality sheets, duvets and mattresses but situated in traditional wooden chalets typical of the Apuseni region. Lunch and dinners are simple but wholesome and sourced from the local area. Sitting in the hot tub on their upper deck with endless views across the rolling hills and distant mountains with a cold mojito is as close to paradise I have had the pleasure to experience on my many journeys around Transylvania. As for breakfast it has everything - I challenge anyone (who isn’t either lying or working for the competition to say anything less than superlative - fresh yoghurts and fruit, cereals, pates and locally made bread (or toast) with the English breakfast options of crispy bacon, poached or fried or scrambled eggs and steamed fresh vegetables. I opted to stay in one of the three new cabins in the forest where I had my own private jacuzzi and sauna, ground floor and bedroom terraces with views out over the cliffs and my own sitting room, powered by heat pumps and solar energy. Congratulations- this is the next generation of eco-tourism. I would commend it to anyone providing they are relaxed, open, appreciate good taste and traditional architecture and of course love being close to nature!

I don’t recommend Ravens Nest due to their lack of integrity and proficiency. I will keep the personal issue I had with them private, but they changed their policy to make them “look good”. Very unprofessional for a provider that charges 600 Euros for 2 night. For their customers service I will give them 1 star. I will take my business somewhere else where people are honest.
