ACCOMODATION RATES COUNT KÁLNOKY S ESTATE
Traditional TRANSYLVANIA
Stay as a guest on Count Kálnoky's and
The Prince of Wales's Transylvanian estates
The estates have remained under the spell of a centuries old harmony between the human community and nature itself. We are convinced that this is not merely one last remnant of a long forgotten world, but rather a sustainable model for a viable future. Dispersed across the heart of Transylvania, this small chain of authentic guesthouses offers natural and cultural activities as well as week-long riding treks.
Zalánpatak
The Prince's Transylvanian nature retreat lies on the edge of the tiny hamlet Valea Zălanului lost in the Carpathian foothills. It is nestled amongst wild orchid meadows and forests roamed by bears. The architecture and interiors have been painstakingly restored to form an authentic and harmonious entity with its natural environment.
Miklósvár
Count Kálnoky's estate at Micloşoara is composed of several houses in the village and the renaissance manor (under restoration). It is Romania's first authentic heritage accommodation and a perfect base to explore the heart of Transylvania with our art historian and ecologist guides. Guests often compare their stay to scenes in Agatha
Christie's novels - just short of a corpse, for the time being.
Viscri
The Prince's house at Weiβkirch blends in perfectly with the archaic simplicity of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The guesthouse's interiors have regained their authentic atmosphere and are of good basic comfort. The large barn is a welcoming base for visiting groups to have tea and refreshments before being shown around the village by a local guide.
Riding
Riding treks and day-rides lead through seemingly never ending parklands of ancient trees and forests, wild flower meadows and pastures, across gentle hills and lush valleys. This is Europe's last riding heaven. The complete lack of roads, fences or walls allows many a canter in fairy-tale like sceneries.
