Approximately 90 km from Cluj-Napoca, 15 km from Beclean (the nearest town) and 2 km from the village of Malin (500 inhabitants), the Ermitaj is located on the Transylvanian plain, at the foot of the Carpathians, in a landscape of hills and valleys, alternating forests, flowering meadows, fields and pastures.

The people of the village refer to this place as “Acolo pe vale”: “Over there in the valley”.

The farm is at the end of a path that you will have to walk. This fifteen minutes’ walk will be a perfect transition to a place of rest and calm that we want to preserve.

This rural area is well alive: in summertime, you can meet peasants with their families working in the hay fields, horses pulling carriages, trailers with hives, meadows looking like a painting by Monet, or a frog concert in the evening.

Whether you want to wander around Malin to meet villagers, make purchases or have a drink in one of the small “mixed shops”, or if you prefer the calm and solitude of a long walk in the surrounding hills and forests … you will find your happiness!

• The “big house”: with our cellar, the rooms of residents, a dormitory upstairs (10 beds), and a common bathroom.
• The “kitchen”: the common living space, with a dining room and a large covered terrace.
• The “barn”, 200m²: on one side live our donkeys, on the other is a large workshop, and between them a polyvalent covered area (55m²).
• Tipi: depending on the occasion, you can sleep, meditate, talk … or party!
• The “red house”: in ruins, it currently serves as a place of storage.
• The camping areas: the land is full of small green, shady and peaceful places where it is possible to set up your tent(s).
• Solar shower outside, and of course, a dry toilet with panoramic view!

But also: a henhouse, a bread oven, a pond, … not to mention our large garden.
