Pension la Roata

We visited last year and we returned to this wonderful place in Bucovina. This time we stayed in a traditional cottage which was absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was again very good with good quality food locally sourced. The owner is very helpful and friendly.

This secluded marvel opens up unexpectedly, surrounded by the forest just to amaze the eye and the soul. Like taken from a fairytale or just depicted in a Grigorescu painting, "La Roata" invites you to step into an unbelievable living past, an era that we all thought was lost. It is my grandparents' era, the childhood of my parents, my long-lost memories and probably a world that will be known by my grandchildren only through stories and photos. It is the symphony of the senses: the glimpse of a bird's wing, a beautiful butterfly and the amazing traditional architecture and quaint design. The melody of the wind in the trees, a bird's unique song, the crack of firewood and the everlasting sound of silence. The smell of fresh hay, green grass and cleanliness. The taste of traditional homemade breakfast early in the morning, good wine and freedom. The unique touch of wood, the grass underneath your toes and the incredible feel of freshly cleaned linens. The balance of slow living, wellbeing and the perpetual state of meditation. All of these can be found at "La Roata". It is a place that rose from other times when life was simpler, people were kinder and everything was probably better. It is a heritage that none of us should ever forget, that we should cherish and treasure in our hearts and minds, passing the legacy to future generations to help them always find their North Star and way back home. 

The room was small and coffee/ tea was replenished only after asking for it. No restaurant and far from town. So having transport is useful to go for lunch and dinner . The view from the sit oout was good and they served a decent bfast. Shower stall was small and the room heater and bathroom heater was not working after late evenings and we had to ask our driver to let the hotel know, after which it was switched on. It was inconvenient as there was no telephone in the room to contact reception ( if any)
