Featured stays
Three properties the editors keep coming back to.
- i
A Saxon Courtyard at Four Hundred Metres
The Iris House · Liliac · Lechința
The cleanest expression of staying on a working estate in Transylvania. Four rooms, one long-table dinner, the cellar door open at dawn.
- ii
A Boyar's Manor in the Foothills
Conacul Urlăteanu · Dealu Mare
Restored over twelve years by its current owners — twelve rooms, a small spa, a pool ringed by old roses. Walk to Davino in twenty minutes.
- iii
A Village Reimagined
Valea Verde · Cund
Not a hotel — a village. Saxon farmhouses scattered around a square, knit together by a foraging kitchen and a slow sense of return.
