A few small things, still lovely
Water pressure was a bit low in the evenings, but Mirela fixed what they could right away. The breakfast and the stairs more than made up for it.

About this place
A 250 year old house on the slope of Mangalem, restored with its carved wooden ceiling, white walls and deep windows facing the Osum river. The room sleeps three and has its own bathroom with twin sinks. Breakfast is served on the vine-covered terrace, with a view of Gorica across the river. Cars cannot reach the house, so we meet you at the river bridge and carry your bags up the cobbles.

Exactly like the photos, only better
Spotless when we arrived and Mirela had left fruit and water in the fridge. We loved the breakfast and extended by two nights.

Best night's sleep of our trip
Comfortable beds, blackout curtains and total silence. Check-in was easy and we will remember the view. Would book again without thinking.
