Lodging

We provide quality services in lodging, as well. During your stay with us, your space will be comfortable and enjoyable, without being too pretentious. Whether you stay alone or you share your experience at Dumbrava with another person, our desire is that you feel good. You may choose from the options below whatever suits you best:

Rooms are large and luminous, while lodging conditions are superior. We offer rooms for two or three people (double bed + single bed). Depending on the orientation of each room, you may enjoy a beautiful view of the Bârgău or Călimani mountains or the beautiful green hills and forests that surround the health center.

Meals

A healthy diet is one of the main factors that sustains and recovers health. Therefore, at Dumbrava Health Center we carefully select the ingredients we use for cooking. Some of them come right from our farm, in order to be sure you get the best. We offer a plant-based diet, sufficiently varied to meet the nutritional needs of your body.

We observe strict nutritional principles when cooking, both for prevention and treatment. Therefore we will create special menus for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune diseases, obesity, respiratory affections, etc. Additionally, we can also offer special diets (gluten-free, low-salt, allergy-related needs, etc.). Just mention this to one of our colleagues in the registration department and we will do our best to prepare whatever is necessary to meet your needs!

And one more thing: it is our wish that the food served here should be tasty, so that you feel how delicious it is to live a healthy lifestyle.

Directions

If you come by car, upon arriving at the locality Livezile on E58, turn towards Dumbrava where the Orthodox church is. Follow the road until you reach the health center. We only recommend this route, since the other roads are difficult to drive on.
If you come by public transportation, we ask that you announce it to us a few days in advance so that we can organize further transportation from the nearby locations (Bistrița or Ilva Mică) to the center. If you choose to come by train, the stations you may arrive at are Bistrița Nord or Ilva Mică. Transportation from the bus/train station is free of charge from the mentioned locations.

Check-in Details

Check-in starts on the first day of the program at 14:00. It is preferable to arrive before 17:00, so that you may be ready at 18:00 when dinner is served. The program ends on the last day, at noon.

Setting

Dumbrava Health Center is run and supported by members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and our mission is to work with people of all faiths, races and nationalities, bringing to all the message of health and healing. It is our joy to serve you and your family.
