Cantacuzino Castle is truly a hidden gem that offers an immersive glimpse into Romania’s rich history, but what made our visit unforgettable was our exceptional tour guide. Although we arrived just before closing, he welcomed us warmly and took the time to make our last-minute tour feel truly special. He navigated the castle’s grand halls with enthusiasm, painting vivid pictures of the Count Cantacuzino family’s life and the evolution of this architectural marvel. Most memorable was how he dashed ahead into the ballroom, deftly securing the massive doors so that we could enjoy that breathtaking reveal as if it were a scene straight out of a storybook. From the ornate woodwork and stained glass to the majestic mountain views from the terraces, the castle itself is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and style. But having a guide who was passionate, knowledgeable, and eager to share stories not often highlighted in standard tours elevated the experience beyond expectation. Even after a long day, he gave us his undivided attention, answered every question, and genuinely cared that we understood and appreciated the details. If you’re looking for a historic landmark that pairs old-world grandeur with an intimate, personalized learning experience, Cantacuzino Castle fits the bill. Go for the beauty, but hope you’re lucky enough to have a guide who transforms your visit into a cherished memory.

The outside of this castle is beautiful.... A beautiful luxurious country house! The interior leaves to be desired if you have other European castles in mind with exquisite furniture. Its beauty is in its garden and sculptures. For those who like a photo to post on social networks, will have fun .... Enjoy without Moderation in view of the mountains of this region of Transylvania :) The souvenir store has nothing. Need to review this and enjoy the ‘wave’ of Wandinha Addams... :(

Nice attraction in the area. Definitely worth a visit. The large gardens, the well maintained castle are a trip to the glorious past. You can also have a guided tour of the castle or have lunch at the Canta Cusine restaurant. Paid parking is availble.

Beautiful site with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains on a clear day. We visited the castle and its surroundings. Took a tour of the interior of the castle where the story of the place and the Cantacuzino family is explained in detail. The guide was superb, although the tour was in the Romanian language he made every effort to also attend to nonromanian speakers. We enjoyed the tour, the castle, and its surroundings.

We spent a day at the Cantacuzino Castle and we loved it! The castle is newly renovated and it looks absolutelly amazing. The view from the terrace is breathtaking and the restaurant is fabulous! We did the guided tour to find more about the history and the tour guide was great, he made the story really fun and enjoyable. The castle also served as a filming location for the TV series Wednesday, therefore in its backyard you'll see a bunch of photos with scenes that were shot there! I highly recommend you to visit the estate and just have a cup of coffee on their terrace and enjoy the view!

We had driven from Bucharest to Brasov and noticed this on the way up. My wife wanted to check it out on the way back. Easy enough…follow the parking signs and listen to the unsmiling man tell you to “buy your ticket.” If you want to see the inside, tour guide required, and only in Romanian (Brilliant!). Different price if you want to walk around outside…which is what we did. It was a short trip, and heavily leaned towards the movie. Not worth the time unless one of your kids is really into the movie. Not recommended.

A very rude ticket attendant, he tells us that to enter the castle a guided tour is necessary, present only in Romanian. We necessarily fall back on the visit to the park alone, a fairly expensive ticket even for the outside. Great location for fun photos and beautiful scenery. We did not appreciate the rudeness at the ticket office, certain however of the tourist influx. In summary, good potential but badly exploited

Absolutely lovely !!! the castle was beautiful and the grounds were gorgeous !! The cafe was lovely with great food ( cheese cake was absolutely gorgeous) and great views. A nice little shop so worth and walk round. So interesting seeing places that they used for filming the Wednesday nevermore academy, There are slight slopes but easy walking round. There are disabled parking spaces and not far from the house.
