We absolutely loved our birdwatching trip and our whole stay at Bunica Maria. We couldn't have hoped for a more knowledgable, dedicated and always helpful guide than Andrei who is a wildlife photographer and a nature lover. We saw over 50 species of bird in our trips around the impressive Danube delta, swathes of which have been opened up again to water after being agricultural fields. Andrei and Irina are wonderful hosts, and we really enjoyed the meals all made with local products.

Una struttura semplice ma completa. Grande pulizia e ti senti come a casa più che ospite. Personale gentilissimo e parcheggio interno per le auto che non guasta. Ottima base appoggio per gli appassionati di birdwatching o pesca e puoi tranquillamente organizzarti con Andrei per delle spendide escursioni in barca sul delta del Danubio. Che dire...superconsigliato.
