Bran is an area in Brasov County Romania, which lies 30 km from the city of Brasov and consists of five villages Bran, Poarta, Predelut, Simon and Sohodol. Located 25 Km from Brasov and 190 Km from Bucharest, Bran represents both a historical place and a legend. Bran is the gateway between Transylvania and Valachia with one side lined by the Piatra Craiului Mountains and the other by the Bucegi Mountains. Bran hosts one of the most visited castles in Europe, the Dracula Castle, the source which inspired the most fascinating legend of the blood- shedding Count Dracula. The Bran Castle was built by the inhabitants of Brasov in the interval 1377-1382 to protect the mountain pass from the invading Turks. At the beginning of the 20th century it became the favorite residence of Queen Maria of Romania, a queen for whom the Bran inhabitants manifested a deep gratitude, as they also benefited from a profound appreciation during the Romanian monarchy. Outside the mansion are cases of universal Romanian cultivate houses and worker homes. Although the name of Bran is closely linked to that of the Bran Castle, the region is extremely rich in tourist attractions: the Moieciului Gorges, the Bucegi Mountains and Piatra Craiului, Pestera Dambovicioara, Cetatea Rasnovului (Rasnov Fortress), and also Brasov and the neighboring Saxon fortresses of Prejmer. The beautiful town of Rasnov is pretty close (9km). More distant sites are Peles Castle in Sinaia, the medieval fortress of Sighisoara (UNESCO site), or Biertan, one of the biggest Saxon fortresses in Transylvania. Bran has also become a place which competes with the town due to its smart villas built in recent years. Living within a well-preserved nature, with hardworking and welcoming locals, the people of Bran always knew how to benefit from the assets they had from tourism. Rural tourism has been practised in the region for decades, representing a feasible alternative to the large hotels in the Valea Prahovei or Poiana Brasov resort. Poiana Brasov resort is a traditional place for skiing, but also for spending summer holidays. The family-like atmosphere that overwhelms visitors in their rural homes, the people who know to value a “thank you” coming from the bottom of the heart of a visitor after a good wealthy meal, hosts who proudly show their tastefully decorated houses, are only some of the arguments which persuade visitors to choose this destination and prolong their stay here.
The closest restaurant is a 10-minute walk away and the supermarket is 2 km from the premises. Brasov is at 25 km distance and on request guests can have transfer to and from the airport at an additional surcharge.
