AS WIDE AS MARAMUREȘ…

Gatherings worth talking about — family or company

We are rather proud of the way we run these: days that lift a group and wake a team up. Some people call it team building.

The whole place, yours

A whole estate of possibilities, held for your team alone

Come once and you will want to come back — with friends, or with the people you work with. Our job is that you have nothing to worry about: if you want the whole estate, with everything on it, for your group alone, just say so. And don't miss the things that make an evening stay with you: fiddlers and shouted verses, a workshop with potters who have a real gift for waking a team up, a campfire, a cart ride in summer and a sleigh in winter.

On numbers: the dining hall seats 28, and out in the garden, under a hired marquee, we can take up to about 110 — tell us how many you are and we'll find the right arrangement.

What it can be

What you can hold at Doina’s

Archery in the guesthouse yard, a group activity

Team retreats & away-days

A working day, differently: things to do outdoors, a cauldron cook-off, and evenings where the team actually gets to know each other. An indoor room for the “work” part; the rest of it outside.

A hora danced in the evening at a family celebration, in traditional dress

Family celebrations

Birthdays, christenings, family reunions — long tables in the garden, food cooked by Doina, and somewhere for the children to play. A celebration the country way, with no hurry in it.

A campfire in the garden, in the evening

Traditional evenings

Fiddlers and dancing, a campfire under a sky full of stars, horincă and Maramureș stories. The kind of evening people are still talking about years later.

Programmes

Example programmes — everything is cut to fit your group.

A day at Doina’s

  1. Arrival, and a welcome with home-made horincă and blueberry liqueur
  2. Cauldron cook-off — in teams, judged by Doina
  3. A long table in the garden, with Maramureș cooking
  4. Afternoon: pottery, archery, or a walk up the hill
  5. Coffee, home baking, and away as the light goes

Two days / one night

  1. Day 1: arrival, an easy walk nearby, an evening with fiddlers and a campfire
  2. Beds in the estate's two houses (20–25 places)
  3. Finnish sauna and the hot tub under the night sky
  4. Day 2: a proper breakfast, then a pottery workshop or games in the yard
  5. Lunch, and away

Programmes and timings are shaped around the group; we settle them together when you ask for a quote.

Not only for companies

Celebrations in the garden

The estate hosts private celebrations too — small weddings, christenings, birthdays — with the ceremony under the willows, the long table beneath the pergola, and the whole garden as the setting. Everything in these photographs is from real events held here.

The same tables, the same garden — tell us what you’re celebrating.

What guests say
I’ve been coming to Doina’s for twenty years, with the family and with the team. I’ve had time to compare: at Doina’s, everything is just good.
