Casa Calin

We spent four nights at Casa Calin while touring the Danube Delta. Elena and husband, John, run an amazing guest house. Sleeping rooms are in a new addition situated in a lovely garden. Each apartment has a private bathroom with modern shower and plenty of hot water. The beds are very comfortable with the right amount of linens. The large window lets in lots of light and fresh air. There is an air conditioning unit but I never needed it. Meals are served in a screened area off the main house. Food is served family style on large patters. Authentic Romanian food is a delight but Elena does ask if guest have preferences. We learned to just let her cook what she wanted to cook. Everything was great and healthy. Much of the food comes from her garden. Enjoy a boat tour of the Delta with Captain John. You're in great hands at Casa Calin!

Everything about this stay was incredible. The place itself is beautiful, the rooms clean and functional and the kitchen area cosy and social. However, the hosts were the main attraction. John and Elena were extremely welcoming, and made our stay all the more special. Elena's cooking and hospitality was fantastic, and John was the most wonderful guide. John was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to take us to the most interesting places. He was also able to speak English for our relatives who were also visiting from the UK. We were very impressed. Would highly recommend.

Three perfect days spent in Crisan at Casa Calin! The location is the best, between 2 channels: the big Sulina Branch and a small channel in the back of the yard. The food is great, vegetables from the garden and tasty fish, prepared by Madame Nuti. John and Ionut are the best guides, they never stop talking in the trips we made to discover the secrets of the Danube Delta. I came home with so interesting info on history of the place, on fauna and flora and even on vocabulary evolution.
