Our story
In 1989, the construction of the cellar in the orchard began, and in 1994 the house was completed. A generous space , designed for our soul: to be "home" and to offer us plenty of space to spend the holidays together with the extended family. For over 20 years, we took care of it, we made small improvements and it has served as a shelter for the apple harvest. In 2020, we have decided that it was time to share our lifetime project with other beautiful people and that's how the concept of the Apple Orchard Villa was born. After a year of intense work, a project created together with a talented designer, a lot of passion and determination, the dream has become a reality. "Craita Merelor The PLACE is the place where dreams come true, and nature is at home. " The villa has been opened to the public since 2021. We can proudly say that we have focused on creating a space with a unique, warm design, which will offer you the comfort of a luxury hotel, and the peace and beauty of the nature that embraces you at every step.
Location
Located at only 2 h from Bucharest, 2h from Sinaia and Bran, in the Voinesti Apple Area, Craita Merelor "The PLACE" can easily be reached by car at any day of the week and time of the year. Henri Coanda Airport is located in the northern part of Bucharest, very close to the exit road towards the Villa. You will be located in the most appreciated apple area in the country, also known as "The Apple Homeland", surrounded by Apple trees and beautiful hills, covered by dense forests. The Apple Orchards have been in our family for over 70 years, and here you will find delicious apple varieties, some of them, created right here, in Voinești by the researchers from the Voinești Fruit Research and Development Institute. Just to name a few, "Generos" and "Dacian" can be discovered and tasted during autumn. In the last 40 years, we have sprinkled in the 8000 m2 orchard, over 8 varieties of apples, 2 varieties of plums, 6 varieties of pears, 6 varieties of cherries, nectarines, peaches, quinces, blackberries and raspberries, strawberries and even a fig. The exotic star of our location is represented by "Nordic Bannana Tree" also known as The Paw Paw Tree, original from Canada, ready for harvest at the end of August. It surprises you with Mango texture, whereas the taste is a mix of pineapple, banana and mango, sheltered by a tall and vigorous tree. The Tulip Tree, together with Ginkgo Biloba are unique in the area and we are happy to see them grow in our orchard. Every spring we bring to life our dear Veggie Garden. We carefully plant the vegetables in the courtyard of the Villa, meant to offer you a fresh and tasty breakfast or delicious salads. Here you will find a variety of tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes and even carrots and beets.
