Pensiunea Ponor

Transylvania


This charming pension has rooms with reassuringly solid hardwood furnishings and well-maintained bathrooms, while cowskin rugs and filling breakfasts heighten the country farmhouse cheer. It's at the western end of tiny Vața de Jos village, a good midway point between the castles of Deva and Hunedoara and the Apuseni Mountains, 65km north of here.
