The Barn

The host waited for us even though we arrived late, and provided us with a lovely meal on arrival. It was above and beyond and recommend this place highly!!!

We had a great experience at The Barn! The view is amazing, the location is one of the most beautiful I've been at, and the host is really nice and actually makes the experience even more wonderful!

Everything. Breakfast, the Barn, the view, the tranquility, the friendliness and courtesy of the hosts, Alex and Irina. They go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.

Perfect place to relax, reflect, meditate, enjoy the view and good, simple local, delicious food.

The owners are a pleasure to interact with, anything you need, they will provide. Breakfast was over the top! The Istrate family are the best for caring your food needs and prepare the needed wood for the fireplace. If you want to go somewhere to rest and refresh your mind, this is the place! The views, the peace and serenity this place offers is truly priceless! Highly recommend to check it out!

Everything was fabulous and you guys are rare extraordinary people.👏👏👏👏

There was literally nothing unpleasent.

Nestled high up on a hillside at an altitude of 1,244m, The Barn in Şirnea promises panoramic and breathtaking views of quaint houses sprinkled across the landscape, all framed by the majestic Piatra Craiului Mountains on one side and the Bucegi Mountains on the other. This enchanting spot, located in the remote area of Şirnea, is a magical place. Şirnea gained fame in the late 1960s, becoming the first tourist village in Romania. Today, it stands as a testament to the authentic beauty of Romanian life mesmerising visitors with its raw beauty and charm. Our stay in early September was a truly stunning experience. It was a joy waking up to expansive views of the mountains and rolling hills through the eight glass panels in the lounge. The terrace, with its cozy table and chairs, quickly became our favourite place during the day. Here, we bathed in the sun, enjoyed the crisp mountain breeze, and lost ourselves in the splendour of the sun-drenched landscape. With Alex and Irina, it's not just about a place to stay; it's about an experience, a connection. Their hospitality isn't just service; it's friendship in its purest form. As someone who usually cherishes solitude during holidays, my time with them felt refreshingly different. Their warmth and kindness, touched both my wife and I, and added a sweet depth to our experience at The Barn. Just a short walk from The Barn, we found gastronomic joy in their restaurant. With everything locally sourced and freshly prepared, the food here is a testament to sustainability and authenticity. The warmth of fresh milk in the morning, the food tailored to our needs – it's a food lover's paradise. And let's not forget the backdrop – the sun-kissed mountains, grazing sheep, and the distant calls of traditional shepherds. It's like a hidden paradise - I exaggerate not! Part of us hesitates to share this gem with the world, fearing it'll become everyone's favourite escape.

As British tourists, who on the best of days can be a bit fussy, there is absolutely nothing about the The Barn that we didn't like!

The Barn is simply amazing - from the fairytale scenery to the beautiful cottage and the cozy environment. The owners are very friendly and always willing to do all they can to make you feel at home. We loved it there and will come back!
