Romanian Monasteries
Thursday August 14, 2003
The monasteries in Romania are a potentially great tourist destination. At least one, the Moldovita monastery, already offers some bed and breakfast accommodations.
According to this article in the Budapest Sun, the bed and breakfast is run by the sisters at the monastery.
You can see some of the gorgeous frescoes in Moldovita monastery, in addition to photos of the outside of the monastery.

The offer of accommodation is varied and there is something for the budget of every traveller. There are modern luxurious hotels fulfilling Western standards, tall concrete blocks dating from the communist period, old-fashioned pensions, new vilas and casas, which are small private hotels, and rooms in a farmhouse. The architecture in Bucovina, as well as in all of Romania, is a mix of old and new architecture, but very often hotels are found in anonymous modern buildings. All hotels are classified according to a national system, going from one to five stars.
