Holiday homes & rentals in Romania

Romania is experiencing a renaissance attracting attention with its low prices and high living standards. So now is the time for holiday lettings in Romania's ornate yet solid and comfortable homes. Ringed by the stunning Carpathian mountain range, dotted with castles and redolent with folk culture, Romania is a truly romantic country which you won't be able to help falling for. With luxury ski resorts, bubbling tech and music scenes and perfect beaches bordering the Black Sea, Romania has something for all tastes - from wooden cottages in the mountains to trendy city apartments.

A welcoming climate

Romania has it all when it comes to weather. You can enjoy pristine alpine skiing in the Carpathian Mountains where the traditional towns look magnificent swaddled in virgin snow. In the summer, the perfect sandy beaches will draw you. Europe's second largest river, the Danube, flows through the country, and its delta is a gigantic and temperate wetland. Here you will find multitudes of protected flora and fauna, making it the perfect destination for hiking, boating, fishing, and birdwatching. Romania offers visitors the diversity of extreme seasonal temperatures and an equally vibrant and dynamic culture, but you'll find Romanians themselves to be consistently warm and welcoming.

How to party in Romania

Still something of an undiscovered treasure, Romania's nightlife still has something of an underground vibe, helped by its current moment of latent communist meets capitalist economics. The fusion of European Union bureaucracy with Middle Eastern and Balkan zest has created a dynamic cultural life, and the club scene is no exception. You have to be in the know to find the coolest bars and parties here, but Romanians are so friendly that you soon will be. There are a growing number music festivals in Bucharest, Cluj and Romania's beaches in the summer, attracting the who's-who of international DJs as well as celebrating the buzzing local music scene.

Excursions to another world

Probably best known as the land of Count Dracula, of Bram Stoker fame, Romania does feel like something out of a novel. Bram Castle does exist in real life, perched precariously on a rocky outcrop, and is a must-see for fans of history and fiction alike. But there are also innumerable other striking castles in the region including the fourteenth century castle of Corvin, once inhabited by Hunedoara, and the nineteenth century Peleş, formerly home to King Carol I. Many of the towns that are strewn across Maramures have a medieval charm which comes complete with wooden churches, horses, and pastoral simplicity. The lack of passable roads in these vertiginous surrounds has precipitated a vibrant self-sufficiency. Crafts like pottery, weaving, bread-baking, and even tanning are alive and well here, practiced with a skill and only achievable with a slower pace of life. Come and step into another world.
