Why are no flying, burning lanterns permitted?

A sky lantern, also known as Kǒngmíng lantern, or Chinese lantern, is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where a small fire is suspended. Alma Vii has lots of barns full of dry materials. We already experienced a big, destructive fire in the past and the village doesn’t allow the use of flying lanterns.

Very happy to find this place and I recommend it with all my heart! In the same time a little sad because, again, we need foreigners to show us how beautiful is our country.

Alma Vii is the crown jewel of Transylvania, Mike’s and Marion’s guest house is the crown jewel of Alma Vii. It is more of a compound than a house, with room for large groups for family or corporate events, yet feels very intimate. Here you’re treated like a guest, not a customer. The property has been painstakingly restored using many of the original Saxon methods with reclaimed materials where possible, while integrating sophisticated modern comforts. It’s really magical, and you’ll find yourself lost in time

Super schön! Die beste Pension in der ganzen Region. Sehr hoher Standard. Zimmer sind sauber und neu. Das ganze Haus ist erst vor kurzem neu renoviert worden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

We stayed with Mike and Marion on two occasions when in Transylvania. Superb hosts who run a beautifully restored and enhanced Saxon farmhouse. Great rooms, food and hospitality. Very obliging and highly recommended.
