SUE ADAMS RIDING SCHOOL - HOLIDAYS IN TRANSYLVANIA

Enjoy a holiday with a difference at
La Mesteceni Country Club
in Transylvania.

La Mesteceni is a residential building, classified 5 daisies (the highest Romanian rating) and includes 6 luxury apartments, two of which are available to rent within the grounds of the Country Club, . The apartments have English maisonette architecture, arranged on two floors and fitted to the highest western standard. La Mesteceni has an outstanding terrace, 52 m long with a warm south-easterly aspect and superb views to the hills of the Câlnic village . The gardens and common areas are permanently mantained at the highest level.

The Club is only 5 km from Sebes in the County of Alba and is situated in that romantic area of Romania known as Transylvania. The region is an elevated plateau entirely surrounded by the Transylvanian Alps, a range of the Carpathian Mountains made famous by Bram Stoker in his novel Dracula published at the end of the 19th century. Bran Castle, where Count Dracula is supposed to have lived, is nearby and currently open to tourists.

The countryside is magnificent: open hillsides, steep ravines, rivers and beautiful villages forgotten by time.
Hill walking and mountain biking are interesting options. Alternatively, hire a car and explore some of the most historic and unspoiled countryside and culture in Europe. Eating out offers an interesting mixture of several European cuisines - Italian and German nuances are common. Many other influences of Romania's fascinating past combine to create menus which are unique to the area. Restaurant meals are incredibly inexpensive and the quality is second to none. Transport to local towns, restaurants and places of interest can be arranged on request.
The resident owners and managers speak fluent English so communication is easy.

The English Riding School offers a wide range of facilities for riders of all abilities. Lessons; hacking and adventure riding plus 'All Day' rides through superb countryside, including a picnic lunch, are just some of the attractions. At the end of your ride, relax in the pool, have a massage and, finally, enjoy an excellent meal in the restaurant.
