  Les propriétaires sont très gentils et parlent parfaitement français. La propreté est irréprochable et les repas (cuisine roumaine) pris au gite succulent. Les tarifs sont très raisonnables. Place de parking à l'abri pour ma moto et de plus, nombreux sites à visiter à proximité. Je recommande.

  A Christmas beyond our dreams in Maramures, at Pensiunea Amethyst in Surdesti The Christmas Eve was unforgettable. We attended the Holy Service in a small, ancient wooden church, (one of the eight in Maramures in the UNESCO patrimony ).I was happy to see so many young people (half of the present ones were children and teenagers). Back to our guesthouse , we, all the residents, joined in a festive, typical Christmas dinner, and enjoyed the carolers. Actually, we all joined in and sang. Together. The Christmas celebration was the first one in a series of events that went beyond any expectation, in this fairy tale land. After Christmas we visited the Barsani monastery, with its cloisters, church and ethnological museum, all of wood. We then traveled with Mocanita, an 100 plus years old train, drawn by an almost as old steam locomotive (built in Resita, Romania in 1935), on very narrow lines, along a breathtaking landscape. This pristine nature was ever hardly touched by man; we saw the man’s touch and genius in the masterly built wooden houses with their abundantly carved, majestic gates. As you figured out already, wood is the main building material in this area. In the train we kept warm by a wood burning stove (present in each car); we were served cold and warm drinks, doughnuts. During the two hours ride the train stopped once to “cut its thirst” with water from the stream running by. Our Frederick (5) was invited to visit the locomotive. At the destination, we were welcomed with music and a group of youngsters, in their local outfits, started a hora , an old Romanian dance. We then went in Sighet Marmatiei (on the border with Ukraine) to see a parade where every single village in the area displayied their own original garb, music, and dances. We attended in Cavnic an old celebation, Brondosii, where men and boys in very colorful attire, with large bells sewn on their jackets roam through the village to chase away the evil spirits. Many a time we loved to hike in the hills nearby. One memorable event was the complimentary trip in a horse-drawn carriage, offered by our hosts. Two good looking, well fed horses, tastefully groomed, crossed the woods, a creek, and stopped at a big rock. There we had a break with campfire, grilled bacon and sausage, homemade bread and onion and drank Horinca (plum brandy)and mulled wine. We laughed a lot and sang a lot. And again : this dream experience was included in the price of our stay at the guest house "Amethyst" in Surdesti. And now about our accommodation and our hosts. This large house has a splendid architecture, is lovingly and tastefully decorated in the traditional Maramures style. It is surounded by hills , itself on a hill far enough from the road, so that all rooms are very quite, with wonderful views from their own large balconies. Rooms are large, with solid wood ,traditional Maramures style, furniture. Smoking is indeed forbidden here, except the outside areas, and two very nice smoking rooms. There are ashtrays even on the balconies. Linens were changed twice in the ten days of our stay, towels every other day. Extremely clean; one can try his hardest, and will not find any dust , even in the most hidden corners. The rooms are well heated, the bathrooms (one for each room) work perfectly. The food is fantastic. Everything on the table comes from the family farm, plenty, very tasty, very versatile, generously accompanied by Horinca, wine, cider (homemade, of course), beer or water from the nearby source. Everything included in price! The hosts,parents and two adult children, are “the poster family of Maramures”. They are all handsome, very friendly, and eager to give us “the vacation of our dreams”. They speak reasonably well German, French, Italian and English. They are always present when needed, without being intrusive.Tomorrow is New Year's eve; soon our stay in Wonderland, Maramures will come to an end. We'll be back.Thank You P.S. this is a severely abridged summary of the unique experience we had last Christmas
