As the Apuseni Mountains awaken, we are opening the season at Raven’s Nest with a celebration of stillness, nature, and contemporary gastronomy. At the heart of this weekend is Sable Cuisine, where Chef Silviu Chelaru translates the wild surroundings into an honest, fire-forged culinary experience. We designed this opening weekend not as a rigid schedule, but as a collection of independent experiences. You are welcome to join us for a single afternoon on the meadow, reserve your spot for a quiet sunset by the fire, or reserve a room for the entire weekend to fully immerse yourself in the slow rhythm of the nest.
Scattered across a sun-kissed ridge, the houses at Raven’s Nest are centuries-old souls with modern hearts. Each space blends natural textures, soft light, and mountain air. Its quiet, its slow, and it feels like it’s always been waiting for you. A retreat built for rest, reflection, and reconnection.
Every story at Raven’s Nest carries its own weight, and in the heart of the village, that story comes alive on the plate. Chef Silviu Chelaru is the creative force behind it, an experienced chef whose career has been shaped by fine dining kitchens, refined techniques, and a deep respect for ingredients. At Sable Cuisine, his philosophy is as honest as it is demanding: premium products sourced with care, cooked with precision, and plated with intention. Each dish reflects a balance between heritage and innovation, carrying forward the essence of Transylvania while reaching the standards of international
fine dining.
We’re open starting 1st May until 1st November for everyone with a reservation in advance.
At Raven’s Nest, every path brings something special. Spend the day in the shared hot tub & sauna, watch a movie under the stars at our outdoor cinema, rest in the hammocks, gather with friends around the fire pit or find balance with a yoga session on the deck.
Hidden in the Apuseni Mountains, Raven’s Nest is a place where every celebration feels timeless. The restored Transylvanian houses, the open-air terraces, and the endless mountain views create a setting that makes each moment unforgettable. Now, through Sable Events, a private mountain village becomes yours for one day, surrounded by forest, light, and silence. From sunrise to starlight, the paths, terraces, and cabins belong to you and your guests. You don’t share the view. You live inside it. Whether you imagine an intimate ceremony under the trees or a dinner surrounded by candlelight and forest sounds, our team curates every detail with care. Sable Cuisine, led by Chef Silviu Chelaru, brings an exceptional dining experience, dishes crafted from seasonal, local ingredients, cooked here in our kitchen, and paired with fine wines. No catering, no shortcuts, just food made with character and precision. Read more about Sable Events.
