Sobor Family Resort
Château Sobor at Stăuceni · 6 rooms, a praised restaurant, a pool with a panoramic terrace, 5 km from the city
A dinner at Château Sobor with wine from their own vineyard, then a night in one of the six garden-view rooms
Worth it for a comfortable escape without leaving the Chișinău area · an estate between vineyard and forest, a restaurant described as exceptional, a pool with a panoramic terrace and staff praised by name. The rooms are small, says a returning guest.
Sobor Family Resort, presented on its site as Château Sobor, is an estate at Stăuceni, 5 km from Chișinău, "at the edge of the forest, between vineyard and orchard", open daily from 10:00 to 23:00. The site describes a hotel with six double rooms overlooking the garden, contemporary in style, a restaurant with the specialities of Chef Ivan Crîlov · European cuisine and seasonal creations, with wine from their own vineyard and stories from the cellar · a generous pool with sunbeds, a panoramic terrace and a bar, plus event spaces. The founder, Mihai Sobor, signs the invitation on the site. Reviews most often praise two things: the grounds and the people. "A really charming place", with easy taxi access from central Chișinău, with "amazing" grounds and buildings; waiter Serghei, with great English, is praised by name by a guest who had him at dinner and breakfast. An American family came back three times in one year: friendly, helpful staff, "exceptional" food and rooms "though small, quite comfortable". Others sum up: "beautiful place with a great view", "top notch, exquisite restaurant", "one of the best places to spend time near Chișinău".
- The grounds and buildings · "amazing", the first thing people describe
- Waiter Serghei, with great English, praised by name
- "Exceptional" food · a "top notch, exquisite" restaurant
- An American family came back three times in one year
- A great view over vineyard and forest

For me, this is one of the best resort escapes without really leaving Chișinău behind. You're only a few kilometers outside the city, but suddenly you have vineyards, forest views, good food, wine and a swimming pool around you. I especially like the possibility of dining in the vineyards. The boutique hotel is beautiful, and the top rooms with a jacuzzi have some of the best views over the forests and outskirts of Chișinău. It's an easy place to include when someone wants a more comfortable, premium Moldova experience without traveling far.

“Really charming place, easy taxi access from central Chisinau. The grounds and the buildings are amazing. The waiter Serghei who we met for dinner and breakfast was wonderful. Spoke great English and was very nice. The food was great. Menu is meat heavy but we managed a solid vegetarian feast made of starters and sides. One downside was the pool. It looked open and we went t…”
