O oază de liniște în mijlocul naturii! ​Cele 2 zile petrecute la Cabana Zimbru au fost o relaxare completă. ​Atmosfera: Liniște și pace absolută – locul ideal dacă vrei să te deconectezi complet și să te bucuri de natură. ​Gastronomia: Bucătăria este bună, preparatele fiind gustoase și pregătite cu grijă. Mulți turisti fac un scurt popas aici pentru a servi ceva. ​Ospitalitatea: Personalul este extrem de amabil, atent și mereu cu zâmbetul pe buze, făcându-te să te simți ca acasă. ​O experiență minunată! Sperăm din suflet să mai avem ocazia să revenim! ❤️

What guests said about Arefu:

Scored out of 10, guest rating 10

From a nature perspective, absolutely stunning.

From a nature perspective, absolutely stunning. This area contains the southern part of the Transfagarasan mountain pass and there is a lot to see and do here. The scenery is spectacular - it also takes a long time to drive, so make sure that you have enough time. Try and avoid night time driving for animals (bears and dogs), but also for the fact that the road is extremely winding and tiring to drive. You will certainly see bears - the southern part of the road (Highway #7C) is a bear conservation area along Lake Vidraru.

The accommodation is right in the centre of the village, surrounded by mini-markets and other hotels. At the same time, it’s close to the lake and forest, so we spotted the first bears on the road after just 10 minutes driving. We were given a warm welcome and were looked after with great kindness throughout our stay. The restaurant, which is open all day, treated us to coffee, breakfast and a sumptuous and delicious barbecue platter in the evening. For us, it was the perfect hotel room before our drive along the Transfagarasan.

Superba locație, camera curata si echipata, caldura super ok (pe timpul nopții este foarte frig afara), restaurant in interiorul hotelului, mancare foarte buna, traditionala, si personal foarte amabil. La 10 minute distanta cu mașina de lacul Bâlea. Cu siguranță vom reveni!

The hotel has very friendly staff making sure that everything is as it should be and is located in a great area to start the ascent on Transfagarasan. You get a chance to see bears from the balcony in total safety. It has clean and equipped rooms.
