Pensiunea Negoiu

First Impressions

Pulling up to Pensiunea Negoiu, the first thing you notice is how quietly it sits against the backdrop of the Făgăraș Mountains — it’s one of those places that feels genuinely removed from the noise of everyday life. Porumbacu de Sus is a small village in Sibiu County, and honestly, that’s exactly the point. You’re not here for a city break. You’re here because you want to breathe actual mountain air and slow down for a bit.

Location & Neighborhood

The location is, well, kind of remarkable — recent guests rated it a 9.6, which tells you something real. Couples especially seem to fall for it, with a 9.2 location score for two-person trips, and I get why. There’s something about being tucked into the Transylvanian countryside, close to trails leading toward the Negoiu peak (the second highest in Romania, for what it’s worth), that makes everything feel a bit more meaningful. It’s not a place you stumble upon — you choose to come here, and that intentionality shows in the kind of guests you meet.

The Property

As a four-star guesthouse, Pensiunea Negoiu doesn’t try to be something it’s not — and that’s actually refreshing. The rooms are comfortable and well-kept, with that warm, unpretentious style you find in the better Romanian mountain pensions. Free private parking is available on site, which matters more than you’d think when you’re arriving with hiking gear or ski equipment loaded in the car. The whole place has a sort of grounded, honest feel to it — nothing flashy, just done properly.

Breakfast

Breakfast here is a buffet, and I mean a proper one — not the sad continental spread you sometimes get at smaller properties. It sets you up well for a day out on the trails or a long drive through the Olt Valley. There’s something about eating well in the morning with mountain views that makes the whole trip feel worth it. You leave the table actually ready for the day, which isn’t always a given.

Why Guests Love It

The overall rating sits at 8 out of 10, which for a rural mountain pension in this part of Romania is a solid, honest score — it reflects a place that consistently delivers on what it promises. People come back to Pensiunea Negoiu because it’s the kind of stay that doesn’t overpromise. You get a great location, a comfortable room, a good breakfast, and easy access to some genuinely spectacular mountain scenery. I mean, if you’re planning a trip into the Făgăraș range or just want a quiet base in southern Transylvania, this place makes a lot of sense. It’s not trying to impress you with grand gestures — it just quietly gets everything right.
