More information


Our guesthouse takes its name from the watermill located in the yard, which is not only a local attraction but also a memory of the past. The babbling brook, chirping birds, and fresh mountain air guarantee complete relaxation. The guesthouse welcomes its visitors with comfortable rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cosy communal space. Whether you're arriving as a couple, with family, or a group of friends, you'll find peace and rejuvenation here.

Step away from the everyday and explore the untamed landscapes of Székelyvarság, while in the evenings, you can unwind by the brook, soaking in a hot tub with a drink in hand.

Tucked away in the heart of Székelyvarság, embraced by pine forests, lies the Watermill Guesthouse – a place where the closeness of nature and traditional Székely hospitality meet in perfect harmony. The house by the brook offers welcoming interiors, a well-kept yard, and a tranquil environment for those seeking true relaxation, far from the noise of the city.

In summer, the guesthouse is an ideal starting point for easy hikes and nature walks. Nearby waterfalls, viewpoints, forest trails, and traditional farmsteads offer unique experiences for visitors. The babbling brook, birdsong, and fresh mountain air combine to ensure complete relaxation. The garden features a hot tub, a fire pit, and opportunities for cooking in a cauldron, making summer stays truly complete.

In winter, the snow-covered landscape reveals a new side: the surrounding hills are perfect for skiing, sledging, and winter hiking. The warm interiors of the guesthouse, the cosy glow of the fireplace, the hot bath, and the peaceful snowy yard provide the perfect backdrop for a winter retreat. It's an ideal choice for families, couples, or groups of friends seeking tranquillity, nature, and genuine experiences.

The Székelyvarság Watermill Guesthouse offers true rejuvenation in every season – providing a peaceful retreat, active recreation, and a direct connection to the rhythm of nature all at once.
