Description

Authentic Wine Tourism in the Heart of Transylvania – Villa Rihuini

Welcome to Villa Rihuini, a place dedicated to ecotourism and local authenticity – an authentic Saxon guesthouse located in the picturesque village of Richiș (Reichesdorf), Sibiu County. Surrounded by hills once filled with vineyards and orchards, Villa Rihuini offers you a unique experience of Transylvanian wine tourism in a traditional and authentic setting.

A Noble Wine Tradition Carried Forward with Passion

Our family owns one of the last noble vineyards in Richiș, preserving the art of winemaking passed down from generation to generation. Our wine is produced 100% manually, using traditional tools, just as it was made in the past. A visit here is much more than just a tasting – it is a journey back in time, where every sip tells the story of the place.

Accommodation in a Restored Traditional Saxon House

At Villa Rihuini, you will be accommodated in a nearly two-century-old Saxon house, carefully restored using eco-friendly materials (linseed oil, natural lime, water-based paint).

3 double rooms, each with separate access
2 modern bathrooms
2 fully equipped kitchens

A courtyard adorned with flowers, a hammock, and a restaurant pavilion for relaxation

In the evening, you can savor a glass of wine in the pavilion or by the campfire. In the morning, an organic breakfast prepared with local ingredients will start your day perfectly.

Our Kitchen – A Heartfelt Experience

The food at Villa Rihuini is not just a simple culinary treat, but a true immersion into the local gastronomic tradition. Our cook, a master of recipes passed down through generations, prepares meals with heart and passion using fresh ingredients from her own garden and from local producers. Each meal is a story—a blend of flavors and memories—designed to offer you not only exquisite tastes but also a deep connection with the authentic spirit of Richiș.

Amazing place
A great restored house with all the facilities needed for a good stay. Friendly hosts, good location, from where you can easily reach Richis, Biertan, Sighisoara. Should I mention the wine? It was my favorite part. :) No headache in the morning. Will I be back? For sure? Do I recommend it? Yes, with an open heart. Congratulations for all your work!

Such an authentic experience!
We had a great experience at Ruihini, thanks to our hosts! It is a very authentic place, an old saxon house, where every item, every furniture, every cloth has been restored. The yard is also a wonderful place to be, especially during autumn, when you can admire the whole nature from the swing. If you are a wine lover, you will love their assortments. They are derived from the famous Richis Wine. They also have a pantry, where you can try the local jam and zacusca. Totally recommend!

Welcome home
Me and my family stayed for a week at Villa Rihuini, working from home, enjoying the country life, and taking some time away from the busy city. Despite this being our first time at the Villa, we felt home from the moment we walked in. Both the village, the house with all its comforts and Alex and his family make sure your stay was relaxing and worry free. Our young children enjoyed the rural scenery, feeding the chickens, playing with the dogs and bunnies, and taking horse carriage rides into the hills to chase the sheep and enjoy a picnic with views of the Saxon villages and their towering fortified churches. Highly recommend Villa Rihuini to anyone of any age. Thanks Alex for your hospitality and mom for the wonderful meals!

Great experience!
If you dare to try another type of tourism, you might be amazed. Great place in Richis, in the middle of the Transylvanian fortified churches area, close to any point of interest: Biertan, Sighisoara, Sibiu, etc. Very comfortable place, the hosts make you feel better than home, food is all local product, and the big plus is that the owner is also a wine producer. All accommodation needed, great yard still full of flowers and green in October, at least an Owl in the trees around to fill the silence and a happy dog #Beny to make you smile.
