Casa Eva Wagner - Biertan

I’ll just give a list of things I found surprising: 1. No sign outside so we passed it 3 times; a local took pity on us and pointed to the house 2. Parking is across the street on some empty grassy yard 3. There is a common kitchen that has a stove but we were told we could not use the stove 4. There was no way I could see the host as hospitable. Not unpleasant either but we did not feel particularly welcome. 5. This is interesting: the door to the bathroom is a sliding door with a serious gap between the door and the frame such as you could just take a look inside if you wanted to. As one can imagine the sounds from the bathroom are unobstructed. 6. I was asked to walk to another place to pay. 7. The hot tub (ciubăr) was cash only 8. This is my fault: there is a huge discrepancy in between what I thought Biertan will be like (a more afluent, nicely looking village) and reality: a quite poor and rundown village with plenty of shacks, stray dogs and just poverty (nobody’s fault but that is the reality) We did not visit the church as it is not our thing but it did offer a nice view from the hot tub in the nighttime. To end on an up beat: everything was very clean!

Am dormit o noapte, in drum pe Via Transilvanica. Locație deosebită cu vedere spre biserica fortificată. Camera foarte curată. Baia asemenea. Nu ratați ocazia de a mânca la pensiune. O mâncare ca cea gătită de doamna Cati mai rar găsești la pensiuni. Și după o zi pe Via Transilvanica o apreciezi cu atât mai mult. Am regăsit gustul copilăriei, așa cum gătea bunica. Nota 10 pentru doamna Cati și nu doar pentru talentul culinar, cât și pentru prezența plăcută și amabilitate.

The place is located near the fortified church of Biertan, so the view from the garden is a spectacular one. Everything was spotless clean by the time we arrived, the room was very neat and comfortable, we had a very good night's sleep. The shared kitchen is equipped with everything you might need for your trip, and the place also has a beautiful garden, with swings, tables and chairs, a place for barbecue. Host was very nice, we had very good communication, and she gifted us their homemade jam when we left, a very sweet gesture. We'll definitely come back!

Pulitissima, comodissima per visitare la chiesa fortificata
