CASTELUL DE LUT

10/10 Excellent
"This is a whimsical, magical place where the beauty of nature surrounding it blends in with the fairytale design of the property. It's peaceful and exquisitely maintained, with attention to the tiniest details. The rooms exude comfort and relaxation - while your inner child will be delighted in discovering the tiny fairy doors, and the cozy nooks. Enjoy the crisp, fresh mountain air while taking a stroll along the brook, and take your pick of fresh berries from the blackberry brambles. The restaurant features gourmet meals served in a wonderful setting. This property is a gem, and quite easy to get to from the main road. Will certainly be back!"
