Romantic retreat on ice: Valentine's weekend at The Ice Hotel, Romania

Whisk your other half away this Valentine’s Weekend for a three or four night romantic retreat at the Ice Hotel in Romania. Untravelled Paths is offering an exclusive Valentine’s package departing 12/13 Feb for £390 per person including all accommodation, transfers and a fairy-tale night at the enchanting Ice Hotel with complimentary bubbly on ice.

Untravelled Paths will sweep you into the heart of Transylvania for a few days of romance with your loved one. Huddle together and hold tight as you explore the eerie corridors of Dracula’s would-be residence at Bran Castle as well as absorbing the decadent furnishings and opulent suites at Peles Castle in Sinaia. In Brasov, enjoy a leisurely stroll around charming cobbled streets, stopping to warm up in one of the town’s bohemian cafes dotted along snow-dusted alleyways off the main square.

Drift through the clouds as you ascend the Faragas Mountains by cable car up to the magical Ice Hotel past snow-capped peaks and frosty forestland. Get your heart racing with some snow-activities like sledging and snowmobiling then indulge in a four-course dinner for two complete with ice plates, frozen tables and frosty, fur-lined chairs before popping the bubbly and ‘Dancing-On-Ice’ the night away.

Defrost the next morning with a hearty brunch at Transylvania’s very own ‘Eden’, Brukenthal Palace, before wandering through the medieval, chocolate-box town of Sibiu past rows of rainbow-coloured houses and decorative bridges. Then it’s back to Bucharest for a final night of romance amongst the capital’s buzzing bars and restaurants.

Who said romance was dead? Love is in the Romanian air.

The price includes 3/4 nights B&B accommodation, all excursions, The Ice Hotel Dining Experience for two, a bottle of bubbly in an ice bucket, all transfers, the UTP booklet and the services of a bi-lingual guide throughout. Price excludes flights. Low cost carriers Blue Air and Wizz Air fly direct from UK to Bucharest.
