All bathrooms are fitted with towels, hair dryers and complimentary cosmetics.
The house is surrounded by a terrace where you can sunbathe all day long, while in the garden you will find a wooden swing and a gazebo, for the warm summer days.
The gound floor comprises of a large open plan with living room area and seating places for 10 around the fireplace, a large dining table for 10/12/14, the open state of the art kitchen and a bedroom with its own bathroom.
The first floor comprises of two double bedrooms with ensuite baths and balconies, while the second floor has a double bedroom with ensuite bath and a relaxation/reading spot.

Guest access
Guests will have access to everything there's in the house, from the spices collection found in the gourmet kitchen to the extensive music/movies collection, the library with books in English and Romanian, guide books, the media center with 50" HD led smart tv and usb player, 5.1 sound system, dvd, high speed wifi and iPhone 5/6 docking sound system.
Interaction with guests
I have a studio arranged in the first chalet, 20 meters down the road from this one, with separate entrance. I might be there for a day or two during your stay, but this is not a rule. You will have complete privacy.
The neighborhood
Located 25 Km from Brasov and 190 Km from Bucharest, Bran represents both a historical place and a legend. Bran is the gateway between Transylvania and Valachia with one side lined by the Piatra Craiului Mountains and the other by the Bucegi Mountains.
Bran hosts one of the most visited castles in Europe, the Dracula Castle, the source which inspired the most fascinating legend of the blood- shedding Count Dracula. The Castle was built by the inhabitants of Brasov to protect the mountain pass from the invading Turks. At the beginning of the 20th century it became the favourite residence of Queen Maria of Romania, a queen for whom the Bran inhabitants manifested a deep gratitude, as they also benefited from a profound appreciation during the Romanian monarchy.
Although the name of Bran is closely linked to that of the Bran Castle, the region is extremely rich in tourist attractions: the Moieciului Gorges, the Bucegi Mountains and Piatra Craiului, Pestera Dambovicioara, Cetatea Rasnovului (Rasnov Fortress), and also Brasov and the neighbouring Saxon fortresses from Prejmer and Harman. Dino Park in Rasnov is a huge attraction for families with small kids. Real life size dinosaurs will fascinate the lil ones! Libearty Bear sanctuary in Zarnesti is also a must see. Rescue bears from all over the world live in this huge sanctuary in conditions similar to those in the wilds.
More distant sites can also be visited, such as: Peles Castle in Sinaia, the medieval fortress Sighisoara (UNESCO Patrimony), or Biertan, one of the biggest Saxon fortresses in Transylvania.
Poiana Brasov resort is a traditional place for skiing, with the best ski slopes in Romania. The access from Rasnov is pretty short (9kms).
The family-like atmosphere that overwhelms you in the rural homes, the people who know to value a "thank you" coming from the bottom of the heart of a tourist after a good wealthy meal, hosts who will proudly show their tastefully decorated houses, are only some of the arguments which will persuade you to prolong your stay in these places.
Getting around
The distance from the Otopeni airport is 160km. Transportation to/from the airport can be arranged by car, as well as private tours in Transylvania.
Public transportation is available by train, the closest railway station being Zarnesti, at 7 km from the villa. There are also buses passing through Bran to Brasov/Bucharest.
For the short rides, taxis are available in Bran as well.
If you're going to rent a car, I highly recommend renting a 4wd car, Dacia Duster is a very good option for these roads. The last 200 meters to the house are steep and unpaved, it can be challenging to make it all the way up without 4wd. If you don't mind parking 200 meters down the road, then don't worry about 4wd.
