A holiday – or even just a simple weekend – at Kokel Guesthouse means more than accommodation. It is a return to the peaceful rhythm of life from days gone by, in an old Armenian town founded in the 14th century, in a land where stories are revealed step by step.
Located halfway between Sighișoara and Mediaș, Dumbrăveni becomes the perfect starting point for exploring the “Treasures of Transylvania” – fortified churches, medieval fortresses, picturesque trails, and cultural events that remain unforgettable.
At Kokel Guesthouse, you will find a true oasis of Transylvanian tranquility and the warmth of a family atmosphere, where traditional refinement naturally blends with modern comfort. The guesthouse offers 12 luxury rooms, carefully designed for comfort and relaxation, perfect for guests seeking rest and privacy in an elegant setting. In addition, the property includes a breakfast dining area, restaurant, bar, terrace, SPA area, fitness room, children’s playground, and private parking.

For those who seek more independence, we offer 3 spacious, fully equipped apartments, each with its own kitchen, bedroom, and living room. They are ideal for families, groups of friends, or anyone who prefers to organize their stay at their own pace
At Kokel Guesthouse, whether you are returning to your roots or discovering Transylvania for the first time, you will find peace, flavors, and stories that feel like home.

Breakfast with a homemade taste
Mornings at Kokel are a true feast for the senses, with authentic flavors brought straight from our own household. You’ll find a cold buffet with carefully selected meats and cheeses, homemade zacuscă, jams from our pantry, freshly pressed apple juice from the Baum orchard, and vegetables picked from the garden. For an extra treat, the hot buffet offers delicious dishes – from fluffy omelets and flavorful shakshuka to the beloved sweet French toast.


Lunch and Dinner at Bistroteca Baum
Guests can enjoy their meals at the Bistroteca Baum restaurant and summer terrace, where gastronomy turns into a true experience. From traditional dishes such as traditional papanasi with jam to exotic flavors unique in Transylvania – specialties like crocodile, zebra, or kangaroo meat – every meal becomes a discovery. Fresh fruits and vegetables from our garden, along with seasonal menus, bring authenticity and freshness to every dish.
Relaxation and Movement
As our guest, we invite you to discover the charm of Dumbrăveni itself: the Baroque-style Armenian-Catholic Cathedral, dominating the central square, or the Apafi Castle, today home to the Museum Collection of Transylvanian Armenians.
Nearby, you can visit the Medieval Citadel of Sighișoara (18 km), the fortified church of Biertan (11 km), or the Citadel of Mediaș. If you are in the area in August, don’t miss the enchanting “Land of Tuberoses” in Hoghilag, while nature lovers will enjoy a horseback riding session at the equestrian center in the village of Prod.
For a complete experience, we provide our tourist guide “Treasures of Transylvania”, which leads you step by step through the most beautiful places in the region – from hidden medieval sites to nature trails and authentic culinary experiences.
