Casa Zollo - House in Vale with Panoramic View

New holiday home at the hill slope with panoramic view in all directions. Located at the edge of the shepherd's village Vale in an absolutely peaceful spot. The only through traffic consists of one or two horse carts bringing in the hay from the nearby hills. You may expect sprawling bright rooms, exceptional cleanliness, and the comfortable indoor climate of a rear ventilated larch-facade.

We rent out this cottage since June 2013. It provides 5.000 sqm garden and spacious 152 sqm of living space for 6 (up to 8) persons on two floors. The large living room (34 sqm) with oak parquet is located on the mezzanine floor. It includes an open kitchen, a brick fireplace, LED TV (Astra Satellite) and ten seats at two tables. From the adjoining balcony you can take a look into the valley or follow the sun as it goes down right between the crests of two forested mountains. The open kitchen is fully equipped for self catering with a large fridge combo, gas stove, coffee maker and espresso machine, toaster, kettle, spices and more. The first room (17 sqm), with windows opening to the East, South and West, is accessible from both the living room and the outer hallway. Also the first bathroom (3 sqm) adjoins the living.

An interior staircase leads to the two light-flooded rooms in the attic, the larger with oak floors and balcony. With their 24 and 32 sqm, they can easily be used as lounge for an entire group. Dormers and windows are opening in three directions and allow the sun to spread in the rooms any time of day. The view is impressive: into the vastness of the valley, onto forested mountains and in good weather up to the snowy peaks of the Fagaras Mountains. The second bathroom (8 sqm) with shower, tub, toilet, washer and house pharmacy branches off from the hallway between the rooms. Each room is equipped with a double bed, TV, Wi-Fi Internet access, an infrared panel and plants. In the largest room, a sofa bed is available for up to two other persons. On arrival, you will find the beds freshly made, also available are towels, soap and shower gel.

The entire interior of the accommodation was chosen with care and is new, including kitchen and sanitation facilities, mattresses and linen. All furniture, windows, doors and stairs where consistently made to measure, and the rear ventilated larch facade ensures a healthy indoor climate during all seasons. The solar-assisted central heating is backed up threefold. Either you fire up the water-bearing fireplace in the living room, which supplies all the radiators in the house, or an automatic control takes over the job and starts a gas heater and / or the electrical infrared panels at no additional costs for you. The two gardens are fenced and adjacent to the surrounding hills. Here you can relax on a covered patio, roast your steak on the stonewalled barbecue or enjoy the evening at an open fire, proposing a toast to the awaking crickets. Maybe you just sit down under an apple tree, listen to the birds and let the thoughts drift by …

We aren't trained tourism experts. We are living in Vale and have joined together in a small and family-type construction company. After eight years of work we put trowels and saws aside for a while, breathe a sigh and dedicate ourselves to our guests. Today, at least two families and a number of villagers benefit from the fruits of this work. We foster a climate of openness and equality-based relationships. Be sure to find peace and relaxation here. Our homes are located on the village outskirts. Though in autumn the silence may be disturbed by the occasional rattle of a chainsaw, we daresay that your perception of peace and tranquility will change soon. You might find that it includes the songs of the birds in the morning, the roosters crowing, the donkey’s brays and all the other distinctive sounds. By leaving behind some advantages and disadvantages of civilization, you can hang ten and experience new thoughts popping up in your mind out of nowhere. Your temporary home will provide you a cozy ambience in fresh mountain air, you’ll be sleeping like a bear in his den. .
