Mioritică sits in a bee-humming garden with a stream passing at its feet. Amid the vivid flowers are intimate nooks for reading and a small communist museum set up by the owner. The chalet-style buildings are enticing, housing a cosy breakfast room and rooms wrapped in verandahs to take in the forest views. Follow the stream for around 700m west from the village centre.
