We are a British-Russian couple who are currently living and working in Romania. Since our arrival in the country several years ago, we have had the good fortune to travel all across Romania, and experience the wonderful variety, warmth, culture, history and landscapes that the country has to offer. Romania is simply unique – a heady mixture of the Latin, Slavic, Greek, Roman, Turkish… goes some way to understanding how fascinating and yet difficult to define the country is. After settling in Romania, and falling in love with the mountain area - in particular the delights of Prahova and Translyvania - we decided to buy a holiday home here. We have spent many a fantastic weekend at the villa, which is a wonderful base for exploring the Carpathians and Translyvania, for walking, skiiing or just relaxing in the hot tub and admiring the amazing view! We believe that our villa, situated in one of Europe’s last great wilderness, has a unique homely feel, together with the quality and ameneties that are unmatched in the region. We hope that you enjoy Casa Ferica as much as we have.
