The apartment has been recently renovated and thoughtfully designed for rest and relaxation. It’s the perfect retreat after a day on the slopes, a hike in the Small Retezat Mountains, or a visit through the Jiu Valley. From the moment you step in, you’ll feel the warm and peaceful atmosphere. Nature-inspired artwork—forests, mountains, quiet landscapes—sets the tone, connecting the space to the beauty of the surrounding area. Warm lighting, a cozy reading corner, and a large, extendable sofa invite you to enjoy movie nights or board games (already available in the apartment) along with a small library of books. The kitchen is another peaceful spot—ideal for enjoying your meals or sipping coffee in the morning. The bedroom is also a tranquil oasis, decorated in soothing colors with natural textures and mountain-themed artwork. It includes a TV and is designed to be a calm and intimate space for a restful night’s sleep. Located on the ground floor, the apartment stays cool in summer and warm in winter—perfect for every season. Whether you’re here for skiing, mountain adventures, or just a quiet visit in the heart of the Jiu Valley, this place will make you feel at home.
The apartment is located in Sohodol, a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, in the heart of the Jiu Valley. It’s the perfect retreat for those seeking fresh mountain air, calm surroundings, and nature. The area is small, authentic, and safe, where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings bring a sense of stillness. It’s close to many local attractions and outdoor experiences: Straja Ski Resort – just a 20-minute drive away, ideal for skiing, snowboarding, and winter fun. Parâng Mountains & Retezat National Park – amazing for hiking, adventure, and mountain photography. Parcul Național Defileul Jiului– featuring dramatic landscapes and accessible trails. Pasul Vâlcan (Vulcan Pass) – a scenic drive with panoramic views, excellent for day trips, photos, and bike tours. Waterfalls – a hidden gem in the mountains past Câmpu lui Neag, with wild trails and spectacular waterfalls. The Mining Museum in Petroșani – for a cultural and historical insight into the region. Muzeul Momârlanului – a unique ethnographic museum, Lupeni Swimming Pool – a great option for hot summer days, just a short drive away.
