Guesthouse in Mileștii Mici, half an hour on foot from the cellars, with an involved host
A stay a short walk from the Mileștii Mici cellars, with breakfast made by the host and gazebos in the yard
Worth it as a base for visiting Mileștii Mici, above all for how much the host helps. If you come as a group, ask for written confirmation of the places and what the meals include, one review describes exactly these misunderstandings.
Guesthouse in the village of Mileștii Mici, about 13 km from Chișinău, in the centre of the village, some half an hour on foot from the Mileștii Mici cellars. The host appears in every review: he prepares breakfast himself, accepts early arrivals, gives a tour of the cellars and the garden, and for one guest booked a last-minute visit to a nearby winery. For a fee he also arranges transport to the galleries, at a price one guest calls very fair. The yard has gazebos, described as the strongest point, and the kitchen is fully equipped and available to guests. A three-star review, however, sets out the weak side: a group of nine confirmed by phone that there was room for everyone, but on arrival had to rearrange themselves, one of the beds was too small for an adult, the sweets offered on arrival had worms in them, dinner for nine was borderline in quantity, and the group understood they had the guesthouse to themselves, although another party came in the evening to celebrate in one of the gazebos. The same review notes something worth knowing: the guesthouse is the owners own inhabited home, with their personal belongings in the cupboards.

“Had a great time, quiet, relaxing. Vitalie is the greatest host, friendly, pleasant, always offering to help. He helped us booking last minute visit at Agrici Winery (they have good wine, I recommend a visit), which in my opinion completed the Tour at Milestii Mici Winery. Rooms were clean and cozy. The garden was big and wonderful, has a big gazebo where you can drink, eat and…”
“Very nice people, traditional style.”
“A good and bad experience at Doina and Ion Guesthouse We chose Doina and Ion Guesthouse for a short getaway with a group of 9 people, including children. Our experience was a mixed one, with aspects that we liked a lot, but also with significant disappointments that marked our stay. What we liked (Positive Aspects) It would be unfair not to mention the good things that existed…”
