Hellen House

At Casa Hellen, a three-star guesthouse in Bilbor, you are welcomed with warmth, a kind word and the thoughtful care of friendly hosts. Here, a holiday means fresh air, walks in nature, carefully prepared food and time with the people you love. With its forests, meadows and mineral springs, Bilbor invites you to leave the rush behind and discover life in a mountain village at your own pace.

Casa Hellen accommodates up to 11 guests in five bedrooms, one of which has an extra bed, and offers four bathrooms. All bedrooms have televisions, while the shared spaces are designed for spending time together. The guesthouse is particularly suited to families and groups of families looking for a few restful days in a warm, homely atmosphere.

In the living room, with its fireplace and comfortable sofa, evenings can be spent chatting, playing a family game or simply relaxing. The fully equipped shared kitchen includes an oven and a dining table seating 12, with room for everyone to gather for a leisurely breakfast or dinner together.

Home-style cooking, prepared with local ingredients, is also part of the hospitality at Casa Hellen. Familiar flavours, thoughtfully prepared dishes and unhurried meals make you want to stay at the table a little longer, especially with your loved ones close by.

Mornings can begin with a coffee on the terrace, while afternoons can be spent in the garden or in the gazebo, arranged for outdoor dining and conversation. Outside, you will also find a fireplace, an outdoor oven, barbecue facilities and a picnic area. Guests can also use the hot tub to enjoy a relaxing soak in the fresh air.

Bilbor is a place worth exploring at a leisurely pace. Walks through the village and its surroundings reveal rural homesteads, meadows and mountain landscapes that change with the seasons. You can discover the mineral springs for which the village is known and visit St Nicholas Wooden Church, a landmark of local history. Or keep your plans simple: a walk, a few photographs and time outdoors with your family.

If you would like to spend a day exploring further afield, Borsec offers several options for walking and relaxation. You can explore Poiana Zânelor, visit the mineral springs and follow the trails around Scaunul Rotund, stopping at the Bear Cave and the Ice Cave along the way. In the warmer months, the toboggan run adds a little adventure, while in winter, the Speranța Ski Complex welcomes those looking to spend time on the slopes.

Also in Borsec, Fontana Spa & Balneo offers indoor pools for adults and children, saunas and spa services to complement your holiday. A visit can easily be combined with a walk around the resort before returning to Casa Hellen.

For another day trip, you can head to Toplița, home to Alpine Coaster, Romania’s longest toboggan run, which takes you through the forest. While you are there, the thermal waterfall is also worth a stop as one of the town’s distinctive sights.

Toplița offers other experiences, too: you can visit St Elijah Monastery, spend a few hours at the Bánffy Baths Wellness Centre or, during the warmer months, enjoy the Urmánczy outdoor pool, fed by naturally warm water. For those who prefer outdoor activities, the surrounding area offers hiking opportunities, while in winter, Toplița’s ski slopes can add another activity to your stay.

At the guesthouse, free Wi-Fi and free private parking make your stay more convenient. All indoor areas are non-smoking.

Casa Hellen welcomes you to discover Bilbor, experience the local hospitality and enjoy a few days with time for one another. With village walks, shared meals and quiet evenings by the fireplace, family time becomes a natural part of your holiday.
