<p>Villa Craiasa Branului (Wizard of Bran) is 4 bedroom newly built house 3km from Bran Castle, made famous in Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel. It set atop the heights of Predelut village, overlooking Bran, Zarnesti &amp; the valley of Brasov with beautiful views of the Transylvanian Alps including Piatra Craiului, the awesome Bucegi massive &amp; a host of other treats including orchards, forests &amp; plains.</p> 
<p>If you are looking for something special, why not come somewhere to get away from it all, to place equipped with everything you could need.  From a wood burner to a play station, from bicycles to Sun loungers, right through to feather-down bedding, pillows &amp; pure cotton sheets &amp; all the comforts you might wish in your own home have been accommodated.</p> 
<p><a>Bran</a> itself is a hugely underrated jewel in Romania’s crown. Without doubt, some of Europe’s finest scenery &amp; unchanged traditions lie here.  The most common response from travellers from all over the world is one of total unexpected surprise. Actual Transylvanian Romania &amp; its perception bear no comparison. Many outsiders have only seen the ruins of a former communist regime that devastated former historic cities. Not so in Bran. Much of it remains unchanged for many centuries.</p>
