Guidebook for Bistrita

I hope you will enjoy your stay at this palazzo which is now being slowly and carefully restored after 70 years of neglect and aggression . The first floor dates from the 1570s (see the vaults at the entrance) while the rest was rebuilt in the early 1820s. The government lists it as one of the country's residential historical monuments. The kitchen has all the fundamentals of cooking (including olive oil, spices, herbs et al). For any questions please email me at cornelban73@gmail.com. Or call me at first at 004520707113 (Danish number). I am offsite and Maria will handle the admin there. Her cell is 0744 900 478.

You can check between 5.45 and 10 pm if you need to be welcomed or you can self check anytime by opening the lockbox (email me for the code). If there is a guest coming after you it is important to leave by 13.30 the next day. If not, check out time is flexible, typically until 6 pm. For serious craft coffee go to Copacul de Cafea. Cakes at Cristina Confiserie (20 steps from your apartment). Craft Icecream at Aniela on Vlahuta street and Craft Beer at The Bricks 1903 next to the ice cream shop. . In terms of local cuisine I prefer Casa Doamnelor in the pedestrian area and Crama Veche (next to the Municipal Park; the homemade Mangalitsa sausage and veggie soups are as local as you can get). All these are 6-7 minutes walk from where you are. The closest supermarket: Lidl. I hope you will have a great stay in one of Transylvania's oldest merchant towns!
