Tucked between a forest and a scenic valley, Cabana Soarelui Retezat Villa features nine cozy rooms and invites guests to unwind on its sun terrace or enjoy the satellite flat-screen TV. The area is ideal for outdoor activities such as archery, hiking, and badminton, with Colt Fortress reachable in about 10 minutes by car. Nestled in the mountains, the lodge sits just 2 km from the heart of Nucșoara. Guests can also explore the nearby Lolaia Waterfall and the historic Malăiești Fortress, both within a short drive—approximately 10 minutes and 4.5 km away, respectively. Inside, the villa offers cable satellite TV and mountain views for moments of relaxation. Each room includes a private bathroom fitted with a shower and separate toilet. Sibiu International Airport is located around 160 km from the property.

How your stay helps rewilding efforts

Your stay supports a local family business located in the northern part of the rewilding landscape, at the foothills of the Retezat Mountains. The cabin is fully surrounded by nature, with no neighbors, offering a quiet space to reconnect with the wild—right from the terrace or on foot, without needing a car. We’re lucky to share this landscape with bears, chamois, and mountain eagles, often visible from the cabin. Nearby Retezat National Park is home to 108 bird species, including 23 protected at the European level—such as the golden eagle, lesser spotted eagle, peregrine falcon, black stork, and even the elusive pygmy owl. Our cabin is also located near a red deer reintroduction site, part of the broader rewilding efforts in the area. We’re proud to witness and share the story of nature’s comeback in our region. We regularly host educational rewilding workshops in collaboration with the local rewilding team and Zimbria Network producers. These events connect people to nature and promote sustainable, nature-friendly livelihoods. We also cook with seasonal ingredients from a short local supply chain developed in our village, helping reduce our impact while supporting regenerative practices. By staying with us, you help strengthen a local nature-based economy that showcases rewilding best practices in the region 🥰
