Casa Basarab Brasov

Two minutes on foot from Brasov's Council Square, Casa Basarab occupies a restored house on Strada Matei Basarab, in the pedestrian core of the old Saxon town. The location suits couples and independent travellers who want to walk everywhere rather than rely on taxis or buses.

Rooms keep exposed timber beams and wood floors typical of the district's older houses, with modern bathrooms fitted in behind. A small breakfast room opens onto the street.

Tampa mountain's cable car sits a fifteen-minute walk east, an easy add-on before or after exploring the fortified centre.
