– Summer travel exploration with insight from owner, Cathy
Searching for a slower break during the summer had us booking a flight to Romania to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Viscri. Celebrated for its picturesque charm, traditional Saxon homes, cultural heritage, and as a favorite destination of King Charles III, we stepped back in time to embrace a slower pace of life.
The highlight of our stay? Viscri 125, a bed and breakfast gem, where our room—marked 1839 on one of its ceiling rafters—was furnished with authentic Saxon beds , handwoven rugs, and a beautiful tile-covered fireplace . Dinner? It felt like we were enjoying a Romanian grandmother’s kitchen: fragrant vegetable soup , veal, fluffy bread, and even the resident cat enjoyed it too!
This one-day/one-night stop is if you’re visiting Transylvania !
Our 24 hours in Viscri:
- Visited HRH King Charles III’s house, now a museum—highlighting the conservation of traditional buildings and rich local history .
- Wandered through cobblestone streets, checking out local craft shops and art pop-ups .
- Chatted with the friendliest locals.
- Took a serene morning walk to the fortified church, built in the 1100s.
- Overnight stay at Viscri 125 with breakfast and dinner 🍽️.
Viscri, you’re a timeless treasure! 💌.
