Itinerary

Day 1

Leave the busy city life behind for a breath of fresh air!
Morning transfer by stretch limo from the hotel to the airport.
On board of the Eurocopter AC 365, enjoy a flight over Sinaia, admiring Peles Castle one of the most beautiful royal residences in Europe and over Bran Castle Transylvania's symbol, also known as Dracula's Castle.
Disembark in Sinaia, the pearl of mountain resorts in Romania known as the Carpathian pearl; enjoy a traditional Romanian welcome with salt and bread and a glass of fine wine. Our English speaking guide will connect with you and accompany you to Peles Castle. The great edifice was built in 1873, on the order of Carol de Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen - King of Romania from 1866. The castle is an architectural mixture of the German School and neo-renaissance style. It has 160 rooms, all of them opulently decorated in leather and wood from the most valuable tree species. The castle also served as the retreat residence of most of Romania's monarchs - Carol I, who died here in 1914, King Ferdinand and Queen Maria of Romania (the niece of Queen Victoria of Great Britain).

Delight yourself with a delicious traditional Romanian hunting lunch in Hunting Chalet; all the trophies exposed here belonged to ex-dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, renown for his hunting skills! The pheasant soup, trout on celery bed, stuffed quail, venison medallion will be washed down with the finest Romanian wines and of course the traditional Romanian fire water!
Transfer back to the helicopter for the flight back.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
