A family project in wine country.
Feriland began as a hillside plot above the Miniș vineyards — bought by a family who wanted to build something worth returning to.
Not a hotel. Not a resort. A single private villa, shaped around the landscape rather than imposed on it.
Every material was chosen for this place: local oak, stone from the Zarand foothills, and windows sized to frame the valley instead of shutting it out. The ciubăr — a traditional wood-fired hot tub — sits where it does because that is where the stars are clearest.
Made for silence and privacy.
We built Feriland for guests who do not need to be entertained. The hills, the vineyards, and the silence do that on their own.
The name comes from the Romanian word for holiday — "feri" — and land. It is, simply, a place for rest.
We are not a chain. There is no reception desk, no lobby, no concierge. When you arrive, the villa is entirely yours. We are available by phone if you need us, and otherwise we leave you in peace.
In the heart of Miniș-Măderat.
The Miniș-Măderat vineyard around the property is one of Europe's oldest documented wine regions, with records dating to the 11th century.
Two grape varieties, Cadarcă de Miniș and Mustoasă de Măderat, grow here and nowhere else. The Balla Géza winery, fifteen minutes away, offers tastings in four languages.
The Zarand corridor — a wildlife passage connecting Romania's two great mountain ranges — runs through these hills. Roe deer graze at the forest edge. Pheasants walk the vineyard rows. On clear nights, the Milky Way is visible from the terrace.
