HOTEL OVERVIEW
You know what? When I first pulled up to Agropensiunea Maria in Hîrşeni, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. The GPS led me down this winding road through Sebeș county, and honestly, I was starting to wonder if I’d made the right choice. But then you see this beautiful traditional Romanian guesthouse tucked into the countryside, and it all clicks – this is exactly the kind of place you stumble upon and then guard jealously from other travelers.
Maria (and yes, there’s an actual Maria who runs this place) has created something pretty special here. The building itself has that authentic Transylvanian charm – none of that fake rustic stuff you get at chain hotels, but the real deal with hand-carved wooden details and rooms that actually feel like they belong in this landscape. What really got me was the attention to small things: the way breakfast is served on proper ceramic plates, how the linens smell like they’ve been air-dried (which, knowing Maria, they probably have), and the fact that she remembers your name after one conversation. The 9.4 rating makes total sense when you’re staying somewhere that feels more like visiting a Romanian grandmother than checking into a hotel.
The location is actually brilliant if you know the area – you’re about 20 minutes from Alba Iulia, which means you can explore the fortress and the old town during the day, then come back to complete quiet at night. I mean, the silence here is almost jarring if you’re used to city noise. The only sounds are roosters in the morning (fair warning if you’re not an early riser) and the occasional car passing on the main road through the village. Parking is right there, no drama, and Maria’s always around if you need recommendations for local hikes or where to find the best mici in the area. What struck me most was how she genuinely cares about your experience – not in that scripted hospitality way, but like she actually wants you to fall in love with this corner of Romania the way she obviously has. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying an extra night just because leaving feels wrong.

Very welcoming and warm people managing the pension. They cooked amazing traditional Romanian foods for breakfast.
Very charming pension, it was overall modern yet traditional design...a real home away from home.
