Romania is a country with a rich history, well-known for its beautiful castles, fortresses, and manors that take tourists back in time. And some of these old buildings have passed the test of time and are now welcoming tourists from all over the world, offering unique accommodation and experiences. We've listed below a selection of manors to try in Romania if you're looking for places where you can enjoy a traditional vacation with a modern twist:
Conacul lui Maldar
Conacul lui Maldar is the perfect place to discover the noble charm of the old life in Romania's Oltenia region. It is one of several fortified mansions built by local noblemen in the village of Maldaresti in Valcea county. These constructions, generically known as cule oltenesti, were built both for shelter and defense against Ottoman invasions.

Today, the manor keeps the aristocratic atmosphere of a traditional cula, each of its 18 rooms (double or single) telling its own story with authentic, historical furniture, traditional rugs, and many other elements. And, as you would expect, the chefs used the old, noble feasts as inspiration for the restaurant's menus.

Conacul Polizu
This is probably one of the most beautiful manors in the historical region of Moldova. Built by Ghika Deleni between 1880-1887, based on Italian architects' plans, the mansion had important guests over time, including Queen Marie of Romania. Like other similar constructions in the country, the building was re-purposed and destroyed during the war and then the communist regime, but it was later restored to its former grandeur.

It now welcomes tourists with stylish accommodation and noble gastronomy, and can also host private or corporate events.
