Transylvanian Inn — Hotel in Bran

I came here for the first time in Aug 2025. For a 6-day Writers' Retreat. I loved it so much that I decided to extend my stay by 4 more days. I felt that I had to finish editing my book here. I just had to. Against all logic and circumstances. It's like a magnet. And it felt so right! I simply followed my gut. The idea had popped my mind the night before check-out. At midnight. The next morning, I wasn't quite sure about it. But after I had breakfast with my group and the coffee rewired my "circuit", the decision was made. Just didn't feel like packing and going back home. |This place has a certain energy and vibration. You're either on the same wavelength or not. |Not to mention the magnifiscent view all around the Inn, facing Bran Castle in the distance. Everything is absolutely breathtaking, peaceful and calm. If you love nature, this is the place!|And if you're looking for a great place to spend a few days by yourself or with your colleagues, friends/family/lover... this is definitely the place!|Teambuilding, conference, retreat? You name it! Everything you need, just ask the staff and they'll happily assist.|The same goes for Laura, one of the owners. She switched from corporate chaos to family business in the heart of the mountains. Initially, she had come here for 3 months. Which became 6, 1 year and so on. Today, after 11 years, she's still here. By choice. Smiling, happy, kind and hospitable.| She trully cares about the tourists. Her personality and her own values are in each decoration, each painting, each flower. From the choice of the bed linen, to the towels, pillows and mattress. |Regardless of your stay length, you get the feeling you're treated like a special guest. And, no, it's not just a feeling! It's for real.|Vegetarian or meat crazy? Dessert addicted? The "papanași" are a must! Local, traditional cuisine or international? Yes, you can have it all here! |Garden lover? Camp fire fan? Yoga passionate? Large, wooden swings? Great coffee? Yes, again!|We visited the Transylvanian Plateau. Wanted to write a bit there and feel the unique energetic cluster of the location. The staff provided yoga mats.|The evenings can be chilly, even in the summer time. You get blankets.|Good music in the restaurant.|And... at the very top there's an amazing library, full of books in all genres. In English and Romanian.|You can sit comfortably in one of the wooden swings and read. I personally lost track of time there. What was supposed to be a quick tour turned into a 3h30min reading session. Funny thing: the back cover of a spell and witch book said that it should not be read after midnight. However, I took a chance. Still alive...|Don't take my word for it! Come here and see for yourself! It's like magic!|P.S. I'm a writer, hence the...

Transylvanian Inn is absolutely extraordinary, in many ways: |- The location is stunning. An oasis of green, silence mixed with lovely nature sounds (birds chirping, a rooster next door) and summer smells (like freshly cut grass). Waking up to see the majestic Bucegi mountains, with their peaks looking differently each day, depending on weather conditions is pure Heaven on earth. |- The team are extremely polite, joyful and supportive. They have a friendly attitude and tend to proactively know what you need, before you even ask them for it. I had a special diet for a few days there and they fully delivered on my ask, checking on my status daily. |- The rooms and open spaces are well kept, clean and tidy, offering the right atmosphere to chill out, sleep or have a lemonade or coffee. The balcony has gorgeous views and opens up your soul for breakfast! |- The tower library is fantastic - amazing views over Bran and the valley below, especially at sunset. Unforgettable I'd say. Lots of fascinating books, I'd have stayed there for days on end, in that egg chair, reading :) |- The yard is large, very diverse - with traditional outdoor furniture, a cute swing, yoga mattresses and lots of green grass for anyone who wants to connect back to Mother Earth, enjoying its simple beauty. ||We were there for 12 days at a successful retreat, however the location did 50% of the job for me. That lively energy, the surrounding nature, and team made a huge difference. ||We luckily made 2 campfires (available for a fee, on request) under the full moon light and had traditional "sunca" (Transylvanian smoked bacon) and onions, marshmelows for desert. Such a delight, unforgettable nights. ||Unforgettable stay, for sure.||I felt at home from day one. A big thanks to Laura and her team, who really know how to make guests feel at ease, taken care of, as they easily unwind from the hectic metropolitan, urban routines they are used to. Laura is a wonderful woman and host, I am truly excited to have met her. O reprezentare in carne si oase a expresiei: Omul sfinteste locul.||Looking forward to coming back soon.
