Romania is a land where folklore is etched into the landscape and history reads like a grand storybook. Your personal narrative begins among the UNESCO-listed painted monasteries of Bucovina, their vibrant frescoes telling centuries-old tales on their exterior walls. The story continues in the medieval citadel of Sighișoara and at the unique “Merry Cemetery” of Sapanta, a whimsical place that chooses to celebrate life with colourful, hand-carved epitaphs. This is an immersion into a world where myth and reality are beautifully intertwined, explored at your own pace with an expert private guide.
Explore Legendary Castles & Timeless Villages
The chapters of your journey will lead you to legendary castles and timeless villages. Experience the thrill of an exclusive, after-hours tour of Bran Castle, exploring the secrets of “Dracula’s Castle” long after the crowds have departed. Then, contrast this gothic grandeur with the profound authenticity of rural life. A rustic horse-drawn cart will carry you through the Saxon village of Viscri, where you can meet local artisans, from Romani coppersmiths to traditional bread makers. These experiences, including cheese-tasting at a local sheepfold, offer a genuine connection to the enduring soul of the country.
Discover the Wild Beauty of the Carpathians
This rich cultural exploration is set against the wild beauty of the Carpathian Mountains. Your bespoke itinerary can include guided treks through ancient forests and national parks, revealing the natural stage upon which these stories unfold. Your comfort is curated to match the experience, with stays in properties ranging from the elegant Epoque Hotel Relais & Châteaux in the city to charming, high-quality guesthouses in the countryside. Every element is thoughtfully composed to create a journey that is exclusively yours.
