Picasso Boutique Hotel

Top choice in Romania


One of the finest small hotels in western Romania, the Italian-owned six-room Picasso is housed in a delightful 19th-century townhouse. Rooms are tastefully designed in creams and chocolates with hard-wood floors and tubs in the bathrooms. The Cubist prints on the wall won't let you forget where you are staying. There’s a fantastic in-house restaurant.
