Why Vila IRIS?

It is more than just a place to stay.

It is the villa you choose when the group is big and the evening needs to go on late. Three levels, each with its own role: downstairs is for celebrating, upstairs is for sleeping, with everyone’s own bathroom and peace and quiet.

At Vila IRIS there is no reception and no schedule. There is a place all your own at the edge of the forest, with a bar and karaoke area on the ground floor and a glazed terrace overlooking the Bucegi Mountains.

A place for groups who want to spend time together: birthdays, family reunions, team retreats or simply a few days in each other’s company.

It was wonderful, we will probably come back. The location is fantastic, the terrace is right in the forest, with a path leading down to a little stream. The design of the villa is lovely, you can tell every detail has been thought through. Everything is very comfortable. The host is very kind.

Frequently asked questions

Before you book, read this.

Is Vila IRIS a private villa or a hotel room?+
Vila IRIS is an entire villa, exclusively yours from check-in until you leave. There are no other guests under the same roof, no shared hallway and no schedule to keep. It is just you.
How many guests can stay?+
Vila IRIS has 6 bedrooms (4 twin and 2 double) across two floors, each with its own bathroom. It comfortably sleeps 12 guests.
Are the floors separate from each other?+
Yes. Each floor works as a self-contained apartment for 6: three en-suite bedrooms, an infrared sauna, an equipped kitchenette and a shared lounge. You can all be together on the ground floor or retreat to your own floor.
Is it quiet?+
That is up to you. Vila IRIS is made for groups who like to celebrate: it has a sound system and karaoke on the ground floor, and because it stands apart from the other villas, you won’t disturb anyone. If you want peace and quiet, you will find it upstairs.
How far is Vila IRIS from Bucharest?+
Vila IRIS is about 130 km from Bucharest (1 h 45 min to 2 hours by car), at an altitude of 900 m. Far enough to feel like another world, close enough not to be an expedition.
What are the check-in and check-out times?+
Check-in: 3:00 pm · Check-out: 11:00 am. Flexible times are available on request, subject to availability.
What if it rains?+
Vila IRIS is just as charming in the rain. You have everything you need to relax: hot tub, Netflix, a kitchen and a Himalayan salt wall. If you would rather not go out, you do not have to.
How do I book?+
The easiest way is on WhatsApp, at +40 728 866 992. Check availability, agree on your dates and ask us anything directly, with no complicated forms.

To confirm the booking we ask for a deposit equal to the first night’s rate, paid by bank transfer or card against a proforma invoice issued by us.

And if something comes up and you can no longer make it, the deposit is not lost. It remains valid for another stay, on dates we agree together.
Are pets and smoking allowed?+
Out of respect for all our guests and for the hygiene standards of the villas, we do not accept pets. Smoking is allowed only outdoors, on the terrace and in the garden.
Where do we park?+
You have private parking for 4 cars, lit and monitored by CCTV, with remote-controlled access, plus a charging point for electric cars.
