Dolce Vita

Bucharest


This hotel and restaurant complex is located on the western shore directly across the lake from Snagov village, at the edge of a protected nature reserve. There are simple rooms here for rent and pretty lakeside-terrace dining (mains 20 to 30 lei). To get here, either drive or take a maxitaxi to Snagov village and phone for someone to fetch you in a motor boat.
