Clay Castle Hotel in Transylvania
Transylvania is a home not only to a vampire hotel, but also to the Valley of the Fairies. Located in a village Porumbacu de Sus, Romania, Clay Castle of the Valley of Fairies is a newly built hotel.
Two years ago, Romanian couple Razvan and Gabriela Vasile decided to sell their home in the capital and built a hotel. Beautiful Carpathian Mountains serve as a mesmerizing backdrop, for this charming little home away from home. The Clay Castle hotel consists of ten rooms and each has its own entrance. The hotel is built with Eco-friendly materials only: clay, sand, straw and wood were used to build the place. Soon, it will also have a restaurant, which will serve an organic food.
There is no doubt, that soon this place will be on top of the list of places to visit in Romania. Even now, when construction is still going on, visitors come to enjoy picturesque spot.
