Grigorescu Mansion is a small private, family-run venue near the Muddy Volcanoes, in Buzau Valley.
The abandoned mansion from 1930 and surrounding buildings were bought in 2011 by Juranda and Thorsten, a Romanian-German couple. Everything was renovated step by step with local craftsmen and local construction materials.
Today, the mansion is family home and head office of Terra Carpatica - a slow food provider and producer of home-made preservatives.
The location offers 5 apartments in the spacious courtyard, in the renovated or newly built guest houses of the mansion, with accommodation for 10 adults and 10 children.
The location is a secret oasis for those looking for culinary adventures and a family atmosphere. During the week, you can enjoy Bed&Breakfast and on weekends, half-board packages with a special Slow Food 3-course dinner. The menu is established on a daily base, depending on available fresh products from the region and own production. Vegetarian or special allergen-free menus are available upon request.
Please note that Conacul Grigorescu has no restaurant open to the public.
Breakfast with local and home-made produce is included in the accommodation price.
An outdoor swimming pool is available for guests that book accommodation at our place.
