Brezoi Vacation Packages

The location of the Vila is spectacular. The surrounding hills sprinkled with well groomed vineyards are breathtaking. If one pays attention can observe Roe deer and red foxes running around. The rooms are tastefully furnished and clean. Unfortunately the term "Villa" is deceiving as the rooms have no connection to the living area or the kitchen. To access those areas you have to use outdoor stairs. The layout is closer to a motel with separate entrance to rooms. As for a winter destination it is challenging for those used to comfort. The heating is provided by a spectacular fireplace and ducted air to bedrooms. Once it burns for a couple of hours the temperature is great. A note of concern is the fact that smoke makes its way into the bedrooms. As the house is "off the grid" and provided with solar power it also requires once in a while the use of a gasoline powered generator that needs to be started manually vis a recoil starter. I am familiar with such deices if not the brief explanations would not be enough. The outdoor kitchen and entertaining area looks very promising but it is less appealing in the winter. I would say this is a place for more adventurous travelers willing to fens for themself in a remote are. In addition it appears that a disconnect exists between Hotels.com the the property regarding payment. My funds paid through Hotels.com on October 26 according to the host were not made available. With some level of investment the property would be great!

The staff went over and above to accommodate our early departure. They asked the 2 ladies in the kitchen to report for work 1-1/2 hours early to prepare our breakfast. We asked them not to inconvenience them, but they insisted. The ladies arrived SUPER early with smiles on their faces eager to serve us. We left a generous tip :) They also facilitated a room change so that we did not have to carry our heavy bags up the stairs. They were very easy to communicate with and eager to please. Very quaint, quiet and clean property. Exactly what we were looking for at that location.

We chose Courtyard despite some mixed recent reviews, keeping an open mind. The hotel is largely renovated, though a few minor touch-ups are still needed. For instance, the lobby was undergoing some work during our stay, but the reception staff was very nice, breakfast was very varied. Our suite was immaculate, with just a few small exceptions that I shared on-site with the very cooperative staff.
