Location

The accomodation will be made in a nice resort located in Horezu, Valcea County.

The participants will be hosted in rooms for 2 people or apartments suits for 3 people. There is good signal for mobile in the establishment. Please keep in mind that the wi-fi connection works rather bad due to the mountains.

Due to the mountain location of the pension and the period of the project, we encourage the participants to take some various clothes with them. Any special requests regarding the meal (e.g. vegetarian) should be communicated before the start of the activities. Accomodation, meal and activities costs will be covered by us.

We will be in the middle of the Romanian mountains in a place that serves traditional Romanian food.

For vegetarians/vegans might be hard to adapt because here most meals contain meat and cheese products. We will surely have vegetarian/vegan option, but please come with an open mind because you may need to eat potatoes, bread and polenta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polenta).

We will have many typical Romanian meals with meat because all the products served are from cological farms and households in the area. Also, it will be permitted to consume alcoholic drinks in your free time and bring typical alcoholic drinks from your countries for the national evenings, with moderation
