Vacanze Slimnic

The location of the Vila is spectacular. The surrounding hills sprinkled with well groomed vineyards are breathtaking. If one pays attention can observe Roe deer and red foxes running around. The rooms are tastefully furnished and clean. Unfortunately the term "Villa" is deceiving as the rooms have no connection to the living area or the kitchen. To access those areas you have to use outdoor stairs. The layout is closer to a motel with separate entrance to rooms. As for a winter destination it is challenging for those used to comfort. The heating is provided by a spectacular fireplace and ducted air to bedrooms. Once it burns for a couple of hours the temperature is great. A note of concern is the fact that smoke makes its way into the bedrooms. As the house is "off the grid" and provided with solar power it also requires once in a while the use of a gasoline powered generator that needs to be started manually vis a recoil starter. I am familiar with such deices if not the brief explanations would not be enough. The outdoor kitchen and entertaining area looks very promising but it is less appealing in the winter. I would say this is a place for more adventurous travelers willing to fens for themself in a remote are. In addition it appears that a disconnect exists between Hotels.com the the property regarding payment. My funds paid through Hotels.com on October 26 according to the host were not made available. With some level of investment the property would be great!
