About Us | The Story of Brătescu Manor: An Authentic Place in Bran

The story of the Brătescu Mansion is about authenticity, history and the desire to offer guests an unforgettable experience in the heart of Transylvania.

Our Roots: The Authenticity and History of the Brătescu Mansion

There are many stories about Bran, many of which are true and many of which are stories, just like the legend of Dracula. Among the true and authentic ones is the story of the Brătescu Manor, a fairytale place in Bran.

One of our guests associated the manor with an idea of Master Constantin Brâncuși: “Seeing it from afar is one thing, going there is something else entirely.” expressing the emotion and joy of having lived for a few days in a manor atmosphere.

A Vision Born from the Desire for Authenticity

Our story began with the desire to build something different. Something authentic in the spirit of the place, something that would speak of the Bran area, something capable of inspiring and making our guest come back. Every corner of the Brătescu Manor is a tribute to Romanian tradition and local craftsmanship. In its construction we used exclusively natural materials — river stone brought from the Bucegi Mountains and solid wood processed by local artisans. The architecture combines the elegance specific to interwar boyar residences with the rustic charm of houses in Transylvanian villages, offering a warm and welcoming ambiance. It is not just a guesthouse, but an authentic Romanian manor dedicated to preserving good taste and the tradition of hospitality.

We are also located in an area that abounds in history and attractions. Although we don’t have a direct view from the mansion, we are close to major landmarks, including the famous Bran Castle, a world-renowned tourist attraction.

The Place of Significant Meetings: Preserving the Spirit of “Brătescu’s Mansion”

From House to Modern Mansion

The name is not accidental. Long ago, Mr. Emil Brătescu, a professor of Romanian language and literature, used to receive his friends, writers and poets of the time, to dance (including Ioan Groșan, Ioan Buduca, Radu Țeposu, Cornel Nistorescu, Otilia Țeposu, etc.). Here, discussions, criticisms and literary, social, political and cultural analyses were organized until after midnight, washed down with selected wines. Mr. Brătescu’s house became an eternal place, remaining in everyone’s mind “Brătescu’s Manor”. Today, the new construction continues the story, offering guests the opportunity to live special moments.

Brătescu Manor is an authentic Romanian manor, capable of offering the tourist arriving in Bran a rich, unique experience, an experience that will make him want to return.
