Casa Lisa in Cund is a place between now and yesterday, secluded in green, scenic surroundings and yet well connected (Targ Mures, Sighisoara, Sibiu, Medias). The Casa Lisa - a well renovated, solid, small Saxon house, neatly furnished, with everything you need - although this does not include television. Heating is provided by a centrally located wood fireplace, but we only used it one evening. The bathroom: small and functional - with shower cabin.
The kitchen is central to the house with a good fridge, 2 plate ceramic hob, large sink and plenty of storage space - generously placed. The oven is replaced by a traditional outdoor cooker in the adjacent open shed. It is wood-fired. We used it twice for braised dishes and were delighted.
The highlight for us was the garden located on the property. Lettuce, onions, garlic, peas, carrots, Mediterranean herbs as well as 3 different varieties of currants were at our disposal. Radishes were sown, strawberries had already been harvested. Pumpkins were still growing as well as grapes. Newly planted were cherry trees and a walnut tree.
The landlord, who comes from Austria, lives in Cund himself. He introduced us to a neighbour, Marcella, who sold us homemade tomato sauce and very good aubergine tomato puree. We were able to buy more food in a small shop (Magazin mixt) two houses away. The owner speaks some German, which made shopping easier. Through the Varga family in the centre of the village, we were able to buy very good homemade white bread, as well as fresh cow's milk and fresh cheese. The fact that the whole family speaks German helped us a lot.
There is also an upscale restaurant in town. They offer one set menu per day. The German owner is very wine afin, which was convenient for us. The day before we left, the staff organised some locally collected summer truffles for us. They kept us connected to the holiday for the next few days after we returned from Cund.
All in all, a very special kind of holiday - our best holiday so far.
