Welcome to Casa Metamorphosia, a place where time slows down among the mountains.
Together with me and Raja, my gentle giant, you’ll enjoy simple living, beautiful nature and evenings spent molding clay over a warm cup of tea.
We are happy to welcome you into our home.
The space
🟢 The House: Your Space of Comfort and Quiet
• The Living Room: A spacious room with large windows, where the sun rises.
• The Studio: A bright, plant-filled space where we create together, and where you can find ready-made ceramics and jewelry.
• The Kitchen: A welcoming space with a cooker and a wood-burning stove. You'll also find comfortable armchairs, a shared pantry, and a separate refrigerator for guests.
• Bedrooms: The house has four welcoming bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own Airbnb listing, your specific room will be assigned with care upon arrival, depending on availability.
........................................................................
🟢 Clay Workshop Included in Your Stay
Every day spent here includes a one-hour clay workshop for two guests, usually held in the evening.
• The joy of creating with your hands, without a pottery wheel: I’ll guide you through simple hand-building techniques (pinching, slab building, and coil building) so you can explore the texture of the clay and create mugs, plates, bowls, or little figurines.
• How your pottery comes to life: The entire process takes about a week and a half. It includes shaping, drying, a first firing at 950°C, glazing, and a final second firing.
• What you can do with the pieces you create:
1. Take them home unfired as beautiful decorative pieces.
2. Leave them for firing and return anytime within the next 6 months to glaze them yourself.
3. Leave them in my care: I’ll fire them, glaze them in one color, and send them to you by courier.
(Additional costs apply for firing, glazing, and shipping services.)
🟢 Silver Clay Jewelry Workshop
Optionally, you can create your own ring or pendant using silver clay. We fire it on the spot with a torch, transforming it into fine silver, and you leave wearing a piece of jewelry created by your own hands.
........................................................................
🟢 Explore the Surroundings
If you’d like to explore at nature’s pace, many adventures begin right from the house:
• Mountain trails in Piatra Craiului National Park: From gentle walks to higher-altitude trails, with a full hike to the ridge taking around 7–8 hours round trip.
• Slow walks and bike rides through the nearby villages: Ciocanu, Peștera, and Fundata, with their traditional houses, open meadows, and mountain views.
• Picnics: Grab a blanket and enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by hills and open views.
• Stargazing evenings: On clear nights, the sky fills with stars, making evenings outdoors just as special as the days spent exploring.
• Seasonal beauty all around: From wildflower meadows and hay fields to autumn colors and snowy landscapes.
