The Advent Center at Berevoi is special. Oozing with compassion, reflection, and dedication, it's a great place to be if you're seeking catalysis for growth or change in life. Or, otherwise, it's a great place to be - to just be. Rob is a real furnace of ambition, which is a wonder to behold (and get caught up in), so there is never a dull day under the watch of the Carpathians. He maintains a healthy, encouraging attitude, spurring activity and conversation, challenging views and beliefs and asking the questions that force a deep dive to discover the answer. Above all though, he is incredibly kind and attentive and has a great sense of humour; a most gracious host. There is a strong spiritual undercurrent at the Advent Center which, though drew me and is insisting on my coming back for more, may not be everyone's cup of tea. As it is the budding community's backbone I'd suggest anyone considering a visit to weigh up their values and intentions before arriving. If there is even slight alignment or willingness to remain open and curious, as in my experience, the resonance will ring out over the river and through the mountains like a clear bell. Yet even putting all of the above aside, the food is colourful and made with love, the air is fresh, stream clear, beds warm, wifi fast, and people happy—what more is there to want? Thank you Rob and friends, see you all again soon.

Doru was kind and welcoming and you could sense that he really loved the region and knew it well. Always opened to share his experience and also his recommendations to what yo do or where to go. It was a very nice stay and would for sure recommend it. Plus Predeal is a very nice town with nice hikes and also close to other cities like Bușteni or Sinaia where you can do some nice hikes too (and of course close to Brașov), with lots of trains going to all this places.

We enjoyed our time on the farm. The family welcomed us warmly. We helped with preserving food for the winter. The bread, cheese, and fresh milk from the farm are excellent. We’re happy to recommend this place.

I am very grateful for my stay at Cosmin s farm. I was welcomed into the family with great warmth and generosity. The family's roots are deeply attracted to the village and its way of life, so I was given a great insight into its food and farming. I enjoyed helping with the running of the orchards, polytunnels and preparing the wood for winter. It felt a small exchange, to then see the food being turned into great Romanian dishes for the table for us to enjoy as a family every day. Preserving food for the rest of the year was a good lesson. I was included in everything, from taking the apples for juicing, visiting local markets, picking mushrooms for breakfast, bottling mountain water to sightseeing trips. I have had such a rewarding experience, I consider myself so lucky. I hope Cosmin's family have chance to visit me in Wales. Diolch o galon Kerry

It was a fantastic experience working with Andreaa and her family, working with all the animals and vegetables on her parents' farm. I'm very grateful to them for everything I was able to do there. The various tasks were both fun and challenging. I could communicate perfectly in English with some family members, and for the rest, I worked perfectly with Translate. I recommend this WOOOF experience to everyone, and I look back on it fondly. Romania is a beautiful country, and the farm was a special place to work. The owner, Ginia, is a wonderful cook, and she wants you to experience her cooking! Working with the water buffalo was also a unique experience, bringing them back to the stable every evening to be milked by hand. The many birds were beautiful to watch together, and the delicious eggs they laid were fun to collect. It was absolutely fantastic!
