Location

Cabana Vitoria Lipan sits in Poiana la Doi Meri, above the village of Văleni-Stânișoara, in the commune of Mălini, Suceava county. Around it are mixed woods of conifer and broadleaf, and meadows; the river Suha runs right past the yard.

The Pojorâta ski slope is 200 m from the chalet and has a ski tow. Suceava is 50 km away, Fălticeni 25 km, along the county road that links Suceava to Neamț — the one people here call the Italian road — at the foot of the Stânișoara mountains.

An aerial of the Pojorâta piste: the run rising to the treeline, a ski-tow pylon with its cable at the left, the tow track beside it and a few skiers on the slope. The chalet is not in this frame.

Where the name comes from

Poiana la Doi Meri, from Baltagul

The chalet stands in Poiana la Doi Meri — the glade Mihail Sadoveanu names in his novel Baltagul, where Vitoria Lipan holds the forty-day memorial feast for Nechifor and where Bogza and Cuțui give themselves away.

The glade is not a literary invention: it is here, above the village of Văleni-Stânișoara. The chalet later built in it took the name of the woman in the book.

You do not need to have read the novel to be happy here. But if you have, you will recognise the place.

The building

The rooms and apartments sit on the upper floors, behind timber balconies across three storeys, with the restaurant, the halls and the kitchen in the same house: from your room you walk straight down to dinner or to a party.

The yard is enclosed, with its own gate and parking included in the price. At its far end are the saunas, and the ciubăr — a hot tub whose water is heated over a wood fire — is outside, under the open sky.

  • The chalet's frontage, with timber balconies and white windows under a clear sky.
  • The upstairs corridor, with a wooden ceiling and room doors along one side.
  • The wooden staircase inside, with turned balusters.
  • A hanging basket of pink petunias under the terrace's timber frame, beside a stone wall.
  • The chalet's gate, with a timber roof over the entrance drive, and the wooded hill behind.

The chalet in winter, from the air

Taken by drone in winter, from the chalet out over the valley and from the valley back towards the chalet.

  • A winter aerial: the whole chalet from the road side, snow on the roof, the ploughed road and its fence, the yard with parked cars and wooded hills behind.
  • A close winter aerial: the top-floor balcony, the middle balcony and the terrace roof under a load of snow, with icicles along its edge.
  • A winter aerial from over the yard, with the bare crowns of orchard trees in the foreground and the chalet at an angle behind them, under snow.
  • A straight-down aerial: the chalet roof under snow, the ploughed road running past it, the parked cars, and the neighbours’ roofs at the top right.
  • A wide aerial from behind: the chalet at the right, an outbuilding at the left, the yard between them, and the fir-and-beech hillside filling the upper half of the frame.
  • A high winter aerial: the chalet, its outbuildings, the yard and its fences down in the valley, ringed by snow-covered wooded hills.
  • An aerial from above the chalet roof — visible at the lower left — out over the village of Văleni-Stânișoara: fenced fields, houses, and the wooded hill behind.
  • A low aerial over the yard fence, looking away from the chalet: snow-covered fields, bare trees, village roofs and a wooded ridge. The chalet is not in this frame.
  • A high aerial down the length of the valley: the village strung along the road, snow-covered field strips, wooded ridges on both sides and deep blue sky. The chalet cannot be picked out in this frame.
  • An aerial across the valley: the piste reads as a broad open snowfield on the hillside opposite, with the village at its foot. At this distance the ski tow is not visible.
