When we arrived it smelled very good and everything was very clean. If you come on a trip, it is a cozy and relaxing space. I definitely recommend it. Communication with the owner is very fluid.
It was busy, but still very cool. You get to learn about the people who actually lived there *cough cough*, not Vlad Tepeş. The castle is one of the older castles still standing in Romania today from what our guide told us. It was almost like a fairytale the day we visited. It had rained earlier in the morning. As the afternoon was coming, rays were poking through the clouds and a mist was rolling over the hills on either side of the castle. It was amazing atmosphere on the day and a good experience overall.
