Neighbourhood:
Our rustic, cosy and contemporary furnished cottage is set in the hilly village of Damis (Romania), which is part of Padurea Craiului Mountains, situated on the northwest side of Apuseni Mountains, between the Crisul Repede Gorge at North and the basin of Beius at South and ultimately part of the legendary Carpathian Mountains.
In summer months the steep hills, within the vicinity of our white cottage, are covered with shiny and wild bilberry shrubs where you can pick your own fragrant bilberries or if you visit during spring or autumn you may like to venture inside the beech forests to pick up velvety boletus mushrooms.

But Oradea is way beyond ArtNouveau. It is a blooming city, a place of wellness and wellbeing, a paradise of thermal waters together with Felix and 1 Mai Baths.
