Arefu Hotels/Hostels
Villages in the area are teeming with pensiuneas
(pensions) and homes displaying cazare (rooms to rent) signs.
Several villagers in Arefu are participating in the agro-tourism scheme
and open their homes to travelers. Ask at the biblioteca (library)
for agrotourism members, or knock on the following doors:
The Tomescu family
Tel. +40 (0) 248 730 102
or +40 (0) 743 678 365
25 euros per person
Make your way up to house No 229. They have three clean rooms and, without
a word of spoken English, manage to host Romanian feasts and tuica-fueled
sing-alongs around the campfire. If they can't take you, rooms are also
available at house Nos 53a, 330, 348 and 384. The Tomescu's are a 10
minute hike up the hill from the library - take the first right, then
start accosting people with "familia Tomescu?" until
you home in on the place.
Pensiunea Dracula

Rooms with bathroom 23 euros
Rooms without bathroom 17 euros

unless you're stuck in the area and not in the mood for the shenanigans
of a night in Arefu.
