Zabola Estate - Transylvania

It was the perfect place to spend quality time with our family and friends.|The environment is stunning-peaceful, scenic, and a perfect escape from the hustle of daily life. The rooms were cozy, clean, and comfortable and the food was delicious|One of the highlights for all of us, especially the kids, were the friendly dogs on the property. They added so much charm and joy to our stay.|Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, beautiful retreat.

Hidden deep in the heart of Transylvania, Zabola Estate is not just a destination—it’s a feeling. One you don’t know you’ve been craving until you’re already there, standing still in its silence, watching mist rise slowly over the lake, coffee in hand and no rush in sight.||Every corner of the estate carries a story. The rooms are soaked in history, yet feel refreshingly contemporary—elegantly restored with thoughtfulness, not opulence. The creaking floors, velvet drapes, hand-picked books, and vintage details create the kind of romantic nostalgia you don’t find on booking platforms.||But what makes Zabola truly magical is the luxury of disconnection. No push notifications. Just forest trails, candlelit dinners, slow conversations, and a rare kind of stillness that invites clarity.||The staff? Discreet, warm, and effortlessly present. The food? Locally sourced, seasonal, and served as if time has no agenda. Whether you’re sipping wine by the fire or reading under a century-old tree, the pace of Zabola asks only one thing of you: to simply be.||It’s a place that makes you want to write again. To think slower. To dream bigger.|It’s not for everyone—and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.

The room Janos, very beautiful, but the smell of wood fire is very bad. |The small fridge not working. |Room clean and comfortable.|We have been here before in 2023, but compare with them the service is very poor, waiters are not trained at all and are more in the bar on their phone then will to move to serve the guests.

The most beautiful place in the world. The Rooms are elegant and cosy, the stuff is very friedlich, the food ist delicious. Many lovely places to visite around.

Great old fashion place, with character, surrounded by fantastic nature. The food was a bit dissapointing, but not that much to ruin our stay in Zabola. If you want couple of quiet days to read and relax, this is a good spot.

Beautiful rooms, lovely atmosphere, cleanliness, attention to details, amenities, politeness and attention of the staff (we were even upgraded for free to a superior room). All in all, a wonderful experience in a dream place

One of my favorite places in Romania and not only.|Tranquility, serenity, beauty and great hospitality.||The place where last year I had my dream wedding, where I spent twice NYE and where I go when I need to escape from the noise and city life.||Amazing people, beautiful surroundings and lovely dogs ❤️||Highly recommend it!

Hotel experience is interesting but plenty of things to improve. Things like cleaning: we understand the concept of castle / vintage, but having dust and spiderweb all around the room is unacceptable. Regarding the amenities we are very disappointed, we did not receive even a bottle of water in the room, breakfast is payable at the property but for the money you are paying you don't receive water/coffee/tea and the variety of food is very limited. Location is very nice though, staff was nice, concept of sauna in the forest is very interesting. Activities in the area are very limited if you are catching a rainy day.
