Worth it if you catch the June season in Trebujeni — a guesthouse with a garden of poppies and roses where you pick the flowers in the morning and cook rose-petal jam in the afternoon, with 2 jars to take home.
Vila Roz is the most flower-filled pension in Trebujeni — a modern glass-walled building under a wooden pergola, surrounded by a field of red poppies, pink hollyhocks and wild roses that bloom from May to August. It comes with a rare offering for Moldova: the host runs themed workshops — rose-petal jam in June (picking + cooking), Easter-egg dyeing with traditional techniques, plum-preserve making in autumn. The rooms are large and bright, with direct views over the flower fields and the Răut gorge. The pension is popular with families for long weekends with kids and with couples for photo shoots.

If you look to escape the city noises, to eat amazing traditional meals, to enjoy fresh air, the sound of birds and amazing stories from the host, this is the place for you. The location is great, near the most important historical sites, just on the riverbank of Răut river. All i need to say is just give it a try, you’re n…”
“Highly recommended - a wonderful place with an authentic Moldavian experience. The hostess is kind and welcoming. She couldn’t speak English but translated using Google. We ordered dinner, which was all homemade. The accommodations are basic, but it was the best part of our time in Moldavia. We also took the dog for a few walks. Thank you!!!”
“I want to thank Olga and her mother for a beautiful and peaceful stay. The whole accommodation is impeccably clean and surrounded with prestine gardens. They cook traditional Moldovan food and the quality is simply superb. They are also very helpful and accomodating with regards onward travel. Wifi is great and beds are comfortable. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough…”
- Workshops only in their season (June for roses, April for eggs, etc.) — plan ahead
- Glass walls mean less privacy from the garden side
- Limited rooms — book months in advance for peak weekends
