If you are a fan of Gothic films or literature, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, then this tour, of the famous Count’s homelands, Transylvania, is your dream holiday. The plains, rivers and mountains of Transylvania are vividly brought to life in Bram Stokers creepy novel, and we are inviting you to spend time with us to see for yourself and to experience Transylvania’s dark beauty.
Our tour will include a visit to Bran’s Castle near Brasov, where legend says Count Dracula lived and terrorised the nearby villages. We shall also have the chance to explore the Carpathian landscape, depicted in Stoker’s book, with visits to the Piatra Craiului National Park, Zarnesti Gorges, the stunning village of Fundata perched high in the mountains with panoramic views, a tour of the main town of Transylvania, Brasov, and a trip to Peles Castle near Sinaia.
This will be an amazing opportunity for those wishing to see first-hand the Transylvania that has become the home of many spooky tales.
We will be staying in White Clouds, a cosy, 8 bedroom villa, 2km from Bran Castle and 28km from Brasov.
The backdrop to this traditional house, is the Piatra Crauilui mountains, translated as The Kings Rock, which forms part of the southern Carpathian mountains and is regarded as one of the most sublime and beautiful sites in this range.
The bedrooms each have twin beds and en suite bathrooms.
The villa has a games room with table tennis and pool. The house is equipped with wi-fi.
We will be fully catered for with a leaning towards traditional Romanian cuisine.
We will meet at Heathrow London airport and you will be supported on the flight to Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
Our mini-buses will take you on the stunning 3 hour drive to the villa in Bran, Transylvania.
We will be guided by local, licenced guide Zgremtia Cosmin, a wildlife ranger, nature lover and passionate of his home region, Transylvania.
