Family hotels and homes in Şirnea

Mark United Kingdom

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.

The room was very nice and confortable with a nice view. The location is amazing, on top of the hills where you can admire the surroundings. The host was very kind and the food fresh and good.

It is the second time we come back here, the first time was a great experience as we book our stay in a tent as was summer time, but now we got the bungalow and we had the same great experience as the first time, as the view from the bungalow is equally amazing. The food was great and we were pleased to find food adapted for people allergic to milk, eggs and gluten for our son. Also on Saturday night, was live cooking by Chef Andrei Zait. We will definitely come back maybe also in the winter to enjoy the snow.

I have known about the property before it got renovated and i must say, the owner did an amazing job. Keep in mind, you are not staying at a luxury hotel, so don’t expect the high-end feel. That aside, the amenities should cover all your needs.

The view at night is just fairy tail.

Amazing place, built with all comfort in mind. We enjoyed all the details inside and outside. Plus the area which is super beautiful. Lots of sockets to charge our devices (which 90% of hotels or accommodations seem to have a hard time covering), all tools and items needed both in kitchen and bathroom (full set of Rituals in bathroom, not just the minuscule ones offered in general… even toothpaste&toothbrushes), various type of glases, cups, plates various size, pots, cutlery, washing machine in the kitchen. Evrthng needed for using the grill on the terrace or lighting the fireplace, beanbag, hammock, elegant lamps, etc. We went in spring but had a bit of bad luck with a lot of snow and minus temperatures. However, we did not feel at all affected as it was very nice temp inside, warm water at all times so no trouble at all. The central heating worked like a charm. Also, the cabin is spacey and really cozy. Can’t wait to come back. All staff and the owner are super hospitable and make you feel at home.
