The accommodation

	Cornus House, located in the heart of the forests, in Covasna county, use to be a property of the ex-communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. The closest village is Filia – if you are looking at a map of Romania, you should point Brasov, in the middle of the country, and in the North you will see a small city called Baraolt (Barot). From this city you can follow the road line towards Talisoara, Bradut (Bardoc) and Filia (Erdofule). Cornus House has 5 rooms with ensuite bathroom and large matrimonial beds and 2 rooms without bathroom. It is ideal for 1 to 5 hunters, but it can accommodate groups of 7 hunters with their wives (people that accommodate in rooms without bath should use one of a bath from the rooms with ensuite bathroom). This is not a luxurious accommodation but a perfect place for a hunting experience in the middle of the forest. The Emir of Qatar loves this place when he come to hunt. If the hunters decide that a more luxurious accommodation is requested than a 4 star boutique hotel in Brasov is our strongest recommendation (this solution was preferred by King Juan Carlos of Spain when he took a hunting trip to Transylvania). The fireplace room is ideal for a cigars and cognac evening for the first day in Transylvania. We could provide a very good Romanian cognac or some international brands of cognac if requested. We can also provide cigars.

Transfers

From the airport to the cottage and back the transfer will be made with a standard European car or microbus Mercedes Sprinter, with air conditioned, depending of the number of travelers (about 5 hours from Bucharest). The nearest airport is Targu-Mures (TGM), about 3 hours to the cottage. Helicopter transfer available on request.

Other mentions

• a fruit basket will be always available in the cottage
• one of the lunches will be held in the forest, as a hunter lunch with fire camp
• as an option, if a hunter obtains the requested trophy for the bear in his first days of hunting, individual hunts for wild boar will be held in the afternoons for this hunter.
• CITES certificates for the trophies will be provided in 2 weeks.
• transportation by Air Cargo for trophies, upon request ( to Europe €375/trophy)
