I our opinion this hotel is the best choice if you want to stay in Cachiulata. The location is perfect- just next to the river and provides a picturesque view to the valley of river Olt. The beds were very comfortable with high-quality sheets. Very helpful staff who asked us every day if we needed something else. They cleaned the hotel and rooms regularly. The breakfast was excellent. The swimming pools were spacious, warm and clean-with salty mineral water which made the swimming a real pleasure. The maximum debt of the pool is 1.50 m and this is a very good option for the adults who cannot swim. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops nearby. Supermarkets Anabella and Carrefour are about 15 min walking.

The hotel is a historic building on a large, park-like piece of land just outside a small village. The area is very quiet and ideal if you like nature and a peaceful setting. The building is very charming and the rooms spacious and lovely. There is no restaurant, but they offer a choice of two meals on a self-service basis, so you can eat as much as you like, including dessert and fruit. We had dinner twice on the terrace and the food was excellent! We stayed two nights and it was the best accommodation on our 3-week holiday in Romania. It is an ideal starting point to visit the UNESCO monasteries nearby and the Culen in Maldaraesti, but you need a car.

Ideal for families as there is playground, pool, football/basketball possibilities, cat and dogs(our daughter adored). Owners serve wonderful home cooked food many of what is growned in their farm. Room was spacious and very clean. Not to forget wonderful view around. Beautiful waterfall nearby if you are into nature and hiking. We had a wonderful time and would come back.

It's close to the city center but still the apartment is located in the rural area. The room was very tidy and charming. The photos on booking.com site doesn't show what actually look like. They are definitely much better than it looks on those photos. And you can sit out in the garden in peaceful circumstance. There is a shared kitchen equipped with most of necessary things if you need to cook.

Recommend to visit any of the thermal baths they have there (like the one in Central Hotel in Calimanesti) or the Aqcua Park Cozia. The Olt river has a nice little island, with a monastery on it, worth visiting. There is a nicely arranged path in the forest nearby, very good for a walk in the fresh air of the forest. Nice restaurants, clean streets, neatly arranged.

A nice and cozy city in the mountains, within 1-2 hours drive to multiple ski resorts (Transalpina Ski or Paltinis). The city has all the facilities of big cities, but is small and not crowded. You can spend time in restaurants, coffe shops or malls, or you can go to different spa resorts that are near by (within 15-30 min of driving).

Nice tranquil small mountain town.

Nice tranquil small mountain town. I like it best during the autumnal season when nature develops lovely shades from light green to yellow and brown to reddish. You can take long walks on along the Olanesti river, up to Comanca monastery and natural water springs. Don't miss out the quick train voyage up to the lotus lake. (have cash with you to pay directly - 15 Ron) and the wooden church Saint Pantelimon.

The place is underrated, has so much potential. While I traveled many times through it, I never stopped for more that a few minutes. But I discovered Rm. Valcea as a clean, cozy and pretty well structured city. It definitely deserves at least 3 days of staying to discover its secrets.

In Romania, the word Băile implies a spa town.

In Romania, the word Băile implies a spa town. The most famous spa towns in Romania are Băile Herculane, Băile Felix, Mangalia, Covasna, Călimănești & Borsec. Romania has hundreds of non-descript small spa towns - few of which get overseas visitors. Băile Olanesti is not one of the grand Spa Towns - but is one of the many far smaller affairs with old communist era hotels and guest houses and a certain amount of dilapidation in the surroundings; witness the ruined hotels, broken windows and crumbling pavements. In the days before locals could travel far they were important holiday destinations for the workers. In summer they still fill up with local families on a cheap break. The swimming pool with its water slides is packed to bursting and the evenings brings everyone out to promenade the streets, meet, smoke and have a drink. In July 2024 Băile Olanesti was packed full and busy - even if the big hotels had spare room. So why come here? Well I stayed above the spa town, in a village called Pietrișu. Take a look at the clip from Google Maps to see why - it is at the end of the road (actually a mud/earth/loose stone track) that leads to huge beech forests and a few scattered farms. The place was peaceful - precisely because it was so hard to reach even with your own car (the single track road is a challenge to a 4x4) with masses of wildlife. My experience of a month's travel in 2024 is that many of the nicest places we stayed were like this - hard to reach and certainly left out of even the backpackers' guidebooks.
