APUSENI - ALBAC / Guesthouse AURORA

A very nice guesthouse, located in the very centre of Albac, composed of two buildings: a traditional one, made of stone, and a new wooden chalet.
The inside are nice decorated, with craft objects or hunting trophies.
The large courtyard, full of grass, the view of the fir tree forests and the flourished meadows, the pure mountain air, but also the kindness and the professionalism of your hosts represent as many trumps of this guesthouse.
Anytime you'll arrive here, in Albac, you'll be met with a large smile, and treated as high honour guests. Your hosts will do everything to offer you a great stay! Mrs. Morar is an expert in preparing tasty mushroom specialities and cookies. She will be happy to tell you some of her good recipes. Her husband, a forest engineer, can relate you facts about the life of the local population, or about the wildlife. If you wish, himself or his son Mircea are the best guides to accompany you on your mountain hiking tours.
