All proceeds from the letting of our Poiana-Brasov accommodation are passed on to Hospice Casa Sperantei in nearby Brasov. Founded in 1992 this was the first provider of hospice care in Romania and the surrounding countries. Now its visiting hospice teams and in-patient centre treat, on average, 500 adults and children suffering from terminal illnesses.
The hospice also runs a school for children who are too sick or disabled to be admitted to mainstream schools.
The management, cleaning, maintenance and driving staff are all recruited locally, making increased employment opportunities available in the area. The apartments support Casa Sperantei, our partner hospice in Brasov, which employs over 100 people from the area. We encourage guests to buy local produce from the shop in Poiana Brasov and give information on other local fresh produce suppliers.
Every effort has been made to reduce energy consumption in the apartments. Extensive insulation reduces the heat loss and usage of heating fuel. Communal areas and passages inside the apartments are fitted with timed lighting switches. Unless guests request otherwise, we only change sheets/towels once after 7 days. In order to save water, all apartments at our Poiana-Brasov accommodation have showers and half-flush toilets.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
