Had a great experience at Vila Rosetta. I stayed there for two weeks, during which I helped with cleaning the guest house, worked in the yard, and spent a lot of time enjoying nature. The property is quite large and is located right next to the forest, making it a perfect place to spend your afternoons walking, exploring, or simply relaxing in the yard. Working with Marius was a pleasure. He is a kind and welcoming host, and you can learn many useful things from him. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend the experience to others.

The experience with Don Mario was fantastic! We arrived at the place where we volunteered, and it was beautiful, with lovely scenery and a house with a great atmosphere. I felt wonderful. We made different meals, had many good conversations where we laughed a lot, and tried palinca, a delicious and typical drink from the country. He took us to some very interesting places with a lot of history, and he also took us to the skate park. We helped him paint some things and also clean the pool and cut some weeds. Honestly, the experience was incredible. I hope to see Don Mario again! 🤗

The experience at Vila the guest house was incredible. Mr. Mario was very attentive from the first day. He picked us up at the bus station, took us to the supermarket, gave us the option of choosing what we wanted to eat, and also took us to other places to visit during our free time. The chores around the house were very easy: helping with cleaning, sometimes painting, sometimes cutting weeds, tidying up the common areas, and helping to improve the place, as there are several entertainment areas like a ping-pong table, a tennis court, a BBQ area, and more. I recommend this place to any traveler.

I'm so grateful for my time at the beautiful the guest house. I had a blast painting, gardening, cooking, and even learning to iron bed linen with a special machine! I met the real palincă, falling in love with salată de vinete, biking around, and visiting the stunning places in the beautiful Maramureș. Marius was a welcoming host, and although we have very different political views, I found our conversations to be a truly enriching part of the cultural exchange. He manages the work and timing very well which is helpful. I'm also thankful for his flexibility when we shortened my stay. A big hug
