Casa Traditionala Ardeleana is an old house which can accomodate 20 people. It has a large, beautiful yard with lawn, flowers, fruit trees. The house is decorated in a traditional way with objects and furniture that we inherited from our grandparents.

I loved living in Madaras and helping in the guest house, the place truly started to feel like home. George and Adelina were really nice and made sure we were comfortable. First it was a little hard to communicate because of the language barrier but we learned a way to understand eachother. George took us to lot of places outside of Madaras and we got to see a lot. I will never forget about this experience and the people I met, forever grateful!

We had a wonderful time in Satu Mare/Mădăras with Gheorghe and Adelina. They are wonderful hosts and northern Romania is an interesting and beautiful place to stay. The work was predominantly working around the guesthouse and helping Gheroghe. We enjoyed learning about Romanian culture and trying the local food!

My volunteering period at the guest house was incredible — a truly immersive experience in the Romanian countryside, with a strong connection to the local culture. Gheorghe and Adelina were always willing to help and made sure nothing was ever missing. The room was very comfortable, and the tasks were quite flexible. I genuinely recommend this volunteering opportunity to anyone looking for an immersive experience away from big cities and who wants to develop new skills.

I had a really good time at Gheorghe and Adelinas place. Adelina Always Made sure I had enough food and Gheorghe Took me to the city to explore. They made sure I was very comfortable.
There's lots of different things to do for work and even tho madaras is a small village I went for a lot of walks in the surroundings. It's a very calm place with super friendly people, nice if you want to see authentic Romania😊
