Life in the village is not complete without a detour where dozens of domestic animals live and nibble all day long. Pension Butuceni is no exception in this regard either. In fact, their detour is more like a zoo, except here the animals have complete freedom. They grow in the heart of nature and are fed organic grain.

Animal pens are located in several areas of the pension. The rooster was and will remain for a long time the alarm clock. He is the one who greets the dawn and announces a new beginning of the day.

At the pension you can find not only chickens, but also geese, ducks, ponies, cows, horses, goats. Anyone is welcome to try the housekeeping guild, starting with their feeding, walking with the cart or phaeton and ending with collecting eggs or, why not - milking the cow?

It is an activity preferred by families with children. The visit also includes a horse-drawn carriage ride.

The hotel complex reproduces the national rustic style, the courtyard is arranged in the same way as the ancestors did: with laits, shrânciob and gazebos. The houses covered with shingles have rooms arranged in the same traditional ancestral style with elements such as: laurels, carpets and embroidered pillows and, of course, the traditional stove in which the aroma of wood is combined with modern comforts.  You will be greeted by a handful of welcoming people who aim to spread national traditions in all corners of the world.   Moldova has a very rich cultural heritage, reflected in the finest art through ceramics, textile and various handicraft. Carpets have a separate and special place in its culture.
