Pension Irina is calmly set in Corbeni Village, a 20-minute drive from Curtea de Argeş. It offers Wi-Fi access in the reception area, fitness room, barbecue facilities in the garden, and an on-site tennis court, all free of charge.

One of the best places I ever stayed, very friendly owners that did more than we ever expected. The restaurant next to the pension was closed, so they cooked for us. Thank you very much.

Located within 11 km of Vidraru Dam and 48 km of Cozia AquaPark in Arefu, Vila N&D provides accommodation with seating area. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

We were fortunate to have the whole property to ourselves and it felt like we were at a castle on top of the hills. The house is extremely well finished with lots of attention to detail. Everything is brand new and clean. Plenty of public spaces to share, we especially enjoyed the balcony at the front on the second floor! This little family business is wonderful and the entire family very lovely. They live close-by in the village so they give you privacy, but they are just a message away to help with anything!

    Amazing place! very clean, quiet and in an amazing location next to the beauterful lake. The staff was polite and nice. The room itself is clean. Only one small minus - one fridge for all rooms on one floor. Also, it is not the territory of the hotel already, but it is not clean near the lake, what is very sad. But hotel itself is amazing

    We liked it very much! ❤️ We stood in the upper room from the attic. Very beautiful, spacious and cozy room. Great and romantic location. Everything very clean and smelling nice. Just minutes away from looking at the bears 🐻 on the Transfagarasan. The guest was very kind giving us the opportunity to use the kitchen as well. She was discreet and gave us the space and freedom to feel like home.

    The location is great, in a small village on the Transfagarasan road, about 15 minutes from Vidraru lake, 1h driving to a lot of beautiful hikes. Plenty of good and extra cheap restaurants nearby. The pension is really comfortable, the apartment was clean, the kitchen well equipped and the veranda with the view on the mountains is just amazing.
