The owners have spent twenty years perfecting their lair and you can stay in one of their artisan four-poster bedrooms that are a work of art. It was there that he found a book published in 1820, recording the experiences of a British consul in Bucharest, William Wilkinson, in the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia (now in Romania). I saw they recently broke a record for the most people dressed as Vampire's since Bram Stoker released his novel.
