A perfect getaway luxury tugged away in a remote village
Pros:

We had dinner for the 3 nights that we stayed and each night, the food was exceptional and the wine excellent. Thanks to both Shanouk and Patti for attending to us during Dinner and Breakfast and for sharing the bits of information about the country and area. Special thanks to Shanouk for helping me with the luggage up the stairs to our room on the 2nd floor of the Barn. We had a nice evening walk and visit to the old Bethlen Castle in Cris village, just next to the property.

Cons:

Nothing

In concluzie, datorita ambiantei ne-am simtit bine, insa atrag atentia asupra faptului ca este foaaarte mult marketing l
Pros:

- hotelul este amplasat intr-o locatie frumoasa, ofera un cadru intim, avand un numar mic de camere
- restaurantul si cina pe care am servit-o
- domnul din Tg Mures care serveste la restaurant, foarte amabil si profi (din pacate, nu ii stiu numele)
- patutul copilului foarte ok

Cons:

- dotarile nu sunt in niciun caz proportionale cu preturile. Am fost in airbnb-uri care au costat de 5 ori mai putin si am avut produse mai de calitate (produse de ingrijire la baie, ceaiuri). Nu te poti vinde drept hotel de lux si restaurant fine dining, dar nu poti pune la dispozitie un fier de calcat PER CAMERA. Da, dupa ce am spus ca nu accept un refuz, am fost lasata sa folosesc unicul fier de calcat din camera tehnica a locației, pentru care ma plimbam cu hainele prin sat). Lipsesc cu desarvasire periute de dinti, pasta de dinti (da, le poti uita acasa si nu esti chiar in mijlocul unui oras acolo).
- marketingul lor e top - nu, nu intr-un sens pozitiv. Oriunde cauti aceasta locatie, prima sau printre primele fotografii este cea cu piscina. Nu putini sunt cei care ajung la locatie si descopera cu stupoare ca nu au acces la ea (cel putin in weekendul in care am fost noi, toti cei cazati inteleseseram ca avem acces la piscina). Nu, acel acces este doar pentru cei care inchiriaza integral una din vilele proprietatii, care este situata separat.
- intr-un restaurant al unui hotel care se vinde a fi de lux nu este permis sa se spuna "nu avem avocado", sa ti se aduca intr-o zi un ou, in alta doua, fara a fi intrebat, sa fie legumele si branzeturile uscate la micul dejun (adica taiate cu o zi inainte). Da, da, acasa le mancam cu totii si asa, vorbesc aici de pretentii de 400 de euro pe noapte
- intr-un hotel de lux nu vii la micul dejun sa intrebi oamenii cand pleaca pentru ca tie iti vin urmatorii oaspeti
- intr-un hotel de lux toata lumea are loc de parcare si nu trebuie ca cineva sa scoata masina sa poata intra altii
- umiditate foarte mare in camere

Pros:

the food was very good, breakfast was excellent

Cons:

On booking they advertise a swimming pool that does not exist...The price of the room is too high for the facilities that they provide. The location is also only accesible by car, the main gate of the estate is not functioning well...unfortunately except the excellent food I would never recommend this place

Incredibly disappointing for the price
Pros:

Food was phenomenal and the dinner/breakfast staff were hugely attentive

Cons:

- WiFi didn’t work at all
- AC didn’t work and got attitude when requesting a fan
- booked hotel 6 months ahead and requested a city tour and was informed two days prior to arrival that the tour guide wasn’t available because it was a busy time of year. I had requested confirmation several times prior to arrival. This was among several miscommunications about our stay

Bethlen was simply amazing. History and luxury combined in part of the world that time has forgot.
Pros:

Bethlen is such an amazing find. When I was looking at Romania one of the first properties I looked at was Bethlen and it was based on the availability of this property that we booked the entire trip and it really didn't disappoint. The history, the service, the food and the location were simply superb. Understanding the background to the estate and seeing the restoration that has taken place and the attention to detail in the buildings but also in offering a luxury get away in the heart of Transylvania was simply amazing. Irena was so helpful before arriving as well and helped to organise trips to UNESCO heritage sights, truffle hunting and even wine tasting (Romanian wine is excellent!). We even had the pleasure of meeting the Countess which was fascinating.

Cons:

Whilst the food was superb 4 courses every night from a fixed menu was a lot and as such I would suggest at least having a couple of options and perhaps an alternative for children as they don't always like such rich food and there isn't an alternative restaurant nearby.

Amazing retreat in the middle of nature
Pros:

- I loved the friendly and welcoming staff, it was a pleasure talking to them and they were so attentive and helpful
- breakfast was incredible (local delicacies, as well as delicious choices of warm breakfast)
- the room that we had initially booked was amazing (unfortunately, the boiler broke down so we had to switch to another room which was classified as better by the property, but it was in a reconditioned traditional house, so a smaller room with less light, but with an amazing library and lounge area - so, all in all, although we were a bit sad to not have the initial room, it was all good)
- the chef prepared an astonishing birthday cake for one of our party (I had announced with due time in advance), but it still was like a piece of art - both beautiful and delicious

Cons:

- while the concept of the restaurant (fine dining with a set course decided by the chef and changed daily for every meal) is definitely interesting and the food was truly superb, exceptional in every way, it was maybe a bit much for us to have so many courses for each meal every day and on the expensive side. Another simpler option would be welcome for some of the meals. They were really kind to prepare a tray of delicacies for our second dinner there rather than the set menu, especially since we had a kiddo and a pregnant lady with us (picky eaters, couldn't have the menu, but could not go without dinner either). So exceptional hosts all the way!
