Cozy cottage near Bran Castle

Our house is located in Transylvania, near Bran Castle. Originally, it belonged to my grandparents, my parents renovated it ten years ago and is now my family’s house and guest house. Our guest house is located on a quiet mountain landscape area, but near to the most important tourist attractions: Bran Castle (5 km), Rasnov Fortress (20 km), Bear Sanctuary (18 km), City of Brasov (35 km) and Carpathian Mountains (Natural Park Bucegi Mountains and National Park Piatra Craiului Mountains). The house is surrounded by 18 000 square meters land – garden, yard, orchard, pasture, a little farm and a hill waiting to be escalated by our guests. In our guest house we have 4 double rooms; 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms and 2 bedrooms with shared bathroom (perfect for familly with children). All rooms are on the first floor of house, which is reserved just for guests. You’ll notice a local traditional style in the rooms, with wood panels and terracotta stove. On the first floor of the house, there is also a living room where meals can be served or just for spending time. There are also two balconies from where you can admire the view. My parents and I live on the ground floor. There, our guests have access to the fully equipped kitchen and a big living room for groups with more than 5 people. For more privacy the house has two different entrances, so you can be independent. Oh, and under the house, there is a stone cellar where my mom keeps all the home-made delights and my dad his “palinca” (a traditional alcoholic drink). Outside, there is a wooden pavilion with big windows, a barbecue and a swing for relaxing moments. My family and I love traditional Romanian meals; my mom is a great cook and she’s using natural products like eggs, milk, meat, round pressed and smoked cheese, from our little farm.
