Bio-Retreat i. t. heart of Transylvania

După Gard is a Bio- Retreat (B&B) built to respect the style & proportions of the local traditional architecture (even the nails are made of wood). După Gard is using ONLY sustainable & renewable energy and local bio/organic products (food, drinks & cosmetics). It is located in the heart of Transylvanian mountains (Romania). Despite its excellent plane-connections (the international airport in Klausenburg / Cluj-Napoca is only 70 km away), the village community of Poşaga – where our project is based- lays in a fairy-tale wilderness which (trust us) is nowhere to find in Europe. Rugged mountain-chains, soft & voluptuous hills, and miles and miles of Europe’s last standing virgin forests. The bio-diversity can be best experienced when our guests visit Poşaga’s natural reservation: untouched by human aggression, here live and grow animals and plants--from which the healing plants can easily make a small encyclopedia. One should point out that the wolves-packs, Europe’s largest remaining brown bear population, the lynx, the mountain roaster, the black grouse, the stag beetle are just to name a few of the protected species that the nature-enthusiast could observe. Quite the opposite from the plants’ and animals’ paradise, the number of locals living in Poşaga has dramatically decreased in the last 27 years as many of them went to live abroad; a lot of those remaining still live just like 100 years ago—meaning that the manual (traditional) labor is used on a daily basis and that the observation of traditions is quite strong. Last, but no least, the architectural details are amazingly beautiful in their simplicity (some houses still have straw-roofs while most houses are made of hand-carved wood).

The main purpose of our project is to offer our guests an accommodation that breaks the boundaries of a mere visit of the countryside; the means to our purpose can be either specific workshops, guided tours or the simple look-around the surroundings. Regardless the methods used, we promise this will be no ordinary blitz visit as we kindly ask all our guests to stay a minimum of 3 nights. This decision is directly connected to the fact that the locals – mainly because of their primitive, traditional living – still maintain a very close bound to the surrounding nature and, hence, no blitz visit could proper introduce anyone to how these people work, celebrate or simply enjoy any given holy Sunday.
