Casa Mare (Big House) - a traditional Moldavian "front" house for receiving guests. Finding modern comfort, such a house keeps the age-old traditions of peasant culture, combining the convenience of living conditions and rural comfort with a gracious silence and the ability to truly distance itself from the urban everyday rush. Here you feel not just at home - as in some magical mysterious fairy tale, from which you don’t want to leave at all, but since you have to - constantly strive to come back again!
Doamna Dora Semion is not just a very hospitable hostess, from whom she absolutely does not want to leave, because she will not be fed so well anywhere in Moldavia, and not only... Doamna Dora - a geography teacher who raised several generations of students, the head of the department of the Moldavian Historic-Geographical Society, in whose house famous scientists gather, discusses the landscape studies of the Middle Dniester, on the right bank of which Japсa (Zhabka) is located - the famous, very beautiful, old village with many attractions in the area. Doamna Dora and her assistants invite guests to spend time in this fabulous corner and her house and will be very happy if you are interested in visiting the real Moldavian outback, enjoy the beauty of pristine nature, ancient monuments and, of course, try fantastic delicious national cuisine.
Japсa (Zhabka) is a medieval village on the high right bank of the Dniester (ancient Tiras). The most famous sight is the women's Ascension Orthodox monastery, which is lurked by the river under a rock (which gave the name to the village), which arose in immemorial times and never closed. In the Soviet Union, hundreds of monasteries were closed for many years, some completely destroyed. Zhabsky Monastery in this respect is unique, the only one in Moldavia, which miraculously continued the service. The oldest is Holy Cross Church, carved into the rock over a high precipice, apparently, like other cave churches along the banks of Tiras/Danastr and its tributaries, during the early spread of Christianity and the traditions of the creation of cave temples (II-IV cent.); the second is the small winter Archangel Michael Church (beginning of XIX), despite the fact that it was built in the era of classicism, it has a strong imprint of the late Baroque; the third - the majestic Ascension Cathedral (beginning of XX) - the lightest temple in Moldavia; the mysterious ruins of the fourth church are preserved at Hochka. From under the rock Zhabka beat three sources (considered healing).
