In the days after, you might:

- visit Sibiu for a walk, coffee, or dinner
- go on a longer drive to castles or small villages
- or simply stay at the property and do very little
There’s no fixed way to do it here.

A bit of exploring. A lot of slowing down. And plenty of time just enjoying the space itself.
