Breb 333
About the house
As this village is one of the most visited traditional villages in the area, tourists generate a lot of traffic. The good news is that our houses are located near the center yet in a quiet part of the village, so you can relax completely and sleep well at night.
The moment you pass through this traditional gate, you are traveling back in time. Old handmade embroideries decorate floors and walls and traditional details flourish in every corner. Funny objects which used to populate human lives one century ago are to be found everywhere. Natural light invades the space and time as we know it stops ticking. The old stove makes you think of quiet evenings with no internet connection where the family used to sit around, talk, eat and rest. When staying here, you get this feeling that you are secretly living in a village museum.
Each morning, the smell of wild field flowers surrounds you while you start your day.
The house has 1 double bed, 2 single beds and 2 extra beds for kids, if needed. The latter are tiny beds and one of them is a traditional hay bed, like people used to sleep here some time ago. Some still do.
Food in Maramureș is known to be more than good and Ileana, the lady taking care of the house, takes local gastronomy to a whole new level. Don’t miss the opportunity to try it every time you can. The ingredients are local and she is very talented.
Our guesthouse in Breb, Maramureș
People from Maramureș love wood. This is why they craft most of their objects to be used in and around the house from wood. And then this is why their beautiful gates and fences, their famous wooden churches that are part of UNESCO heritage and, above all, their houses are made of solid wood. Traditional wooden structures from Maramureș don’t use steel nails and local people take pride in having their special way of working with wood. Breb 333 is such a traditional wooden house from Maramureș and is more than 100 years old.
During summertime, this guest house is naturally chilled due to traditional materials used which are well adapted to the proportions of the house. It is good to know that we are still working to finish the kitchen, so self catering is not an option at the moment. But the good news is that Ileana will spoil you with nice local food.
If you reserve this house, you will have the entire place and yard to yourself, regardless of the number of persons in your group.

Who we are & what we believe in
This is a guest house owned and managed by the Mihai Eminescu Trust (MET). The MET is a non-profit organization that has 20 years of experience in heritage conservation and the regeneration of villages in Transylvania and Maramureș.
Experience Transylvania is the Foundation’s initiative for the development of cultural tourism and it consists of a network of over 20 traditional guesthouses scattered around beautiful villages such as: Mălâncrav, Florești, Richiș, Biertan, Alma Vii, Viscri, Criț or Breb.
We are here to support the local economy by involving villagers in the restoration and management of the houses and thus showing that, if well preserved, heritage can become a source of growth for the community. Our goal is to empower people and to assist them in creating a sustainable and healthy future, while preserving their cultural heritage and an authentic way of life.
While enjoying delightful local dishes and the peaceful village life, guests staying in our houses unknowingly support our work and are part of this success story. Thank you.
