"You should see Gura Rîului someday"
- Lucian Blaga
In the picturesque heart of Mărginimea Sibiului, where the mountains meet the green pastures and traditions blend with modernity, a truly special place awaits you — Pensiunea La Vâltoare.
With love and passion for the authenticity of the place, we have created a little piece of paradise — a place where time seems to stand still to offer our guests the chance to rediscover the joy that calmness brings.
Authentic Cultural Experiences
Step into our ancient village, Gura Râului, and discover a community full of life and authentic Romanian hospitality. Every house and every street hides old stories and traditions passed down from generation to generation, and each open door is an invitation to a fairytale world.
Here, the fresh aroma of bread baked in clay oven tantalizes your senses, while the hidden corners of nature invite you to experience the simple beauty of country life.
More than just a simple guesthouse
We are proud to be part of this cultural heritage and to share it with every guest who crosses our threshold. Here, you will find more than just a simple guesthouse — you will discover a treasure of emotions, moments of joy, and tranquility that will remain in your heart long after you arrive home.
The 8 rooms, spacious, welcoming, and meticulously decorated, along with the 5 apartments, will provide the peace and comfort you are seeking. At the same time, the traditional dishes, lovingly prepared in our restaurant, will delight your taste buds and take you on an unforgettable culinary journey through Romanian gastronomy.
A moment of indulgence and relaxation
To complete the picture, you can spend your afternoons either tasting a selection of fine wines in our rustic wine cellar or relaxing in the calm SPA area, which features a heated indoor pool and a dry sauna.
Explore Mărginimea Sibiului
Not long ago, in the 18th and 19th centuries, this was one of the largest water mills in Romania, where the force and purity of the water were used to spin, clean, and bleach wool carpets. Today, Vâltoarea is a place that cleanses us of worries and agitation, helping us find our inner peace and connect with ourselves.
Explore Mărginimea Sibiului and you will fall hopelessly in love with its picturesque landscapes, authentic traditions, and the welcoming people. From ancient churches and local museums brimming with history to hiking and biking trails that lead to the gentle, biodiversity-rich peaks of the Cindrel Mountains, every corner of the region reveals a landscape that seems straight out of a fairytale.
