Visiting Romania is very much a modern adventure, in that you never know what to expect. While visiting last year after a long day from Peles over Bran to Kronstadt for supper and then on to Schlosstadt it suddenly turned night on us. having arrived into sighisoara at about 22h, things looked desperate, as we were in a strange city at night and beeing on the road "à l'improviste" as the french say, we didnt make prior arrangements. We parked the car near the foot of the citadel and went to a very nice terrace there, where they serve a great variety of traditional and more mondaine foods and beverages, and we addressed the question of loggings now the inner person had been sattisfied, i must admit, nothing replenishes your batteries better after such a long day on romanian roads then calories and a good nights sleep, luckily i had activated the gprs function on my local prepayed sim which comes reeeealy cheap and after calling bout 6 hotels either at maximum capacity or little overpriced we stumbled upon Vila Franka. surprisingly the hotel was only 150m from the chair i was sitting on when i called the reception, and more exceptional was the fact they offer posibility to park your car in front of the hotel.
the inside of the hotel was just as the service, impecable, in an ambiance of rustique where modern commodities have their place very tastefully hidden
to be honest, if you have never seen Sihisoara, you should definitely go, and if u need a place to stay, vila Franka is not only a pension at the foot of the citadel, its also a place where you can feel the soul of the city and its people..
