Holiday to Transylvania, tailor made
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
Guests of the Castle are directly helping the Count justify the conservation of the surrounding pristine nature and restoration of Transylvania’s heritage.
Wildlife and nature trails, hiking and horse riding tours are also organised and available.
Community
The family have returned to Transylvania after 50 years of exile. The estate is composed of buildings in two villages. During the Communist regime in Romania, many of the buildings had fallen into ruins. The family immediately set about finding ways to save their heritage and restore the estate to its former character. Through the development of a unique tourism venture, the family have started turning their vision into reality. The guesthouses are situated in the tiny village of Miklósvár in Szeklerland, Transylvania.
Since late 2006, we have been developing and supervising the restoration of The Prince of Wales’s properties in Transylvania. His Royal Highness’s house in Viscri (Deutschweisskirch) in the Saxon Land (a region of Transylvania called 'Koenigsboden') is now available for booking alongside the guesthouses. HRH's other property is situated in a remote little village that one of his Transylvanian ancestors founded in the 16th century. It is surrounded by wilderness and the local brown bears count to the regular guests on his grounds.
Guests of the Castle are directly helping the Count afford the restoration work. The castle also supports the local community with jobs, from kitchen staff too tour guides right through to drivers. Our guests are also encouraged to explore the near by villages and enjoy the local facilities (there us 1 local pub which is always warmly appreciated by guests).
