Abbey of Piona

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Romania in general is a beautiful country. Piona Brosvos is a great Ski resort. Bucharest, it is a big city. You might complaint it is a bit doggy where you will meet a lot of beggars. Apart from that, you are there to see the country. If one do not enjoy the city environment, you can hike up the mountain and put few night at a village. People in the village is so friendly. So can even visit the Dracula castle if you want. Such a beautiful castle located to a country where it has so much more to see. Forget about the poverty in the country. If anyone want to have an enjoyable and affordable vacation, there is no complaint for Romania.... Read review

The grounds are well maintained by the Monks and there is another shop which sells their wine, confectionary, and pottery which is quite reasonable. Parking is free and the Abbey is spectacular to look at with its architecture. We went late season, so it was fairly quiet and we did feel that we had to be very respectful as this is an occupied Abbey and the Monks were ever present. There are good toilet facilities. Its a peaceful place and its easy to while away a couple of hours at least and for the more religiously minded, a good experience of Abbey life.... Read review
