Our story Vâlcea

Ecvestria Ranch — born from a love of animals and nature

The story behind Ecvestria Ranch is one of dream — and hard work.

It all began in childhood, when the dream of living on an animal farm took shape in the imagination of those who wanted to be closer to nature.

Over the years, this dream was nurtured with passion and determination,

and at last, it became reality.

Farm in Vâlcea — Ecvestria Ranch: restaurant, riding, pool and 9,000 m² of experiences. We look forward to welcoming you.

What we’ve prepared for you across these 9,000 m²:

Am petrecut câteva ore frumoase la Ecvestria Ranch Mâncarea a fost foarte bună, iar copiii s-au bucurat din plin de experiență - au hrănit animăluțele și s-au jucat în voie, într-un mediu sigur și relaxant. Am apreciat în mod special personalul: amabil, zâmbitor și implicat. Se vede că locul este îngrijit cu drag, mai ales că erau în plin proces de lucrări de primăvară, ceea ce ne-a dat senzația de prospețime și atenție la detalii. Recomand cu drag pentru familii cu copii și pentru oricine își dorește o evadare liniștită în natură.

Locația este foarte frumoasă și liniștită. Camerele sunt noi, plăcute și bine izolate. ​Pentru copii sunt multe opțiuni de joacă în curte: trambuline, tiroliană mică, ping-pong și, interacțiunea cu animalele și echitația. ​Mâncarea la restaurant este bună , dar meniul este destul de limitat pentru vegetarieni. Per total, o experiență relaxantă și plăcută.

I really liked it. They have very beautiful goats that come to be petted, rabbits and about 5-7 beautiful horses that you can ride. There are many activities such as horseback riding, ziplining, a kind of mini gym and playground. The staff is very kind and nice.

Probably one of the best places for day out with the family. Superb atmosphere, polite services and nice food presentation. Needs more work on the taste, though. Definitely will return every time when back in Romania as the place is absolutely memorable.

They ea hotel, a zoo, a park a restaurant and a cafeteria at the same place. I paid 10 euros for 3 coffees and I think that it really deserves the money. Can't wait for the summertime to visit it again. Really amazing place especially if you have kids.
