Description from owner
Description
Let's start with ''THE GUARDIAN'''s piece published last year in its travel section, in which they picked 20 of Europe's best self catering vacation villas:
"Which child, or adult for that matter, wouldn't enjoy boasting that they holidayed less than a mile from "Dracula's Castle"? With immense flower-speckled grass carpets stretching towards the Carpathian peaks, and laced by mountain streams, Bran is a rural idyll. Heidi's funky tangerine theme, ....the Cold Mountain film set on your doorstep, a mountain creek running by and fir-tree forest views from the smart Jacuzzi room in the attic. A GLORIOUS RETREAT FOR FAMILIES OR FRIENDS".
This new house, its feeling and design, its great location in the village as well the village's stunning landscape and proximity to Transylvania's most exciting sites is what you are probably looking for if you're tired of too many months in the city.
Take just the mountain creek passing by the house creating a great soundtrack by simply opening a window, the incredible landscapes offered by short and longer walks starting and finishing at the house, the abundant presence of warm colours used inside the villa, the fabulous view from the double Jacuzzi located in the roof attic between two large windows overlooking the Carpathian Mountains, the pure cotton orange and lime green bedding and towels which come from our favourite producer, the pillows and the eiderdowns, filled with natural down or the extremely comfortable mattresses. These and many other features speak for what the main goal behind this villa has been: to supply pleasure, relaxation and peace of mind.
We have always asked for feed back from our "most spoiled" guests' - from Switzerland, France, Austria the UK, New Zealand, Australia or the U.S., trying to find out what they felt was missing or uncomfortable and for quite some time now...they haven't suggested anything. That is maybe because this house was planned by us for many years as our dream-mountain-vacation-house, gathering our ideas, designs and objects from all over the world.
Maybe that's why other publications such as "Place Under the Sun" chose this house (last year) as their "Choice of the month", choosing it out of an immense pool of vacation houses from all over the world...

Response from the owner We can only wish for such guests for as many more years as we will continue to share our house. Thank you for your stay, thank you for the way you left the house: clean and tidy. For us, having guests like you is a pleasure, also for a selfish reason : ) - we cannot be there as much as we wish, so guiding you from a distance, booking for you, checking up opening ours, occasionally translating for you "live" (thank you, whatsapp!) is a great sublimation to the actual joy of being there ourselves... Looking forward to see you again!

Response from the owner It was an honor to be chosen by Jo and Ben after their stressful and successful championship in Bulgaria. There were quite a few other…countries in the area they could have chosen. Thank you! About the confusion related to the final payment: indeed, a confusion based on the similarity between Bulgarian Leva and Euros, but it was swiftly solved, also backed up by pictures we took and sent, not to leave behind ANY doubts. We will so gladly host Jo and Ben again!
