Casa Cu Cerb

Sighişoara


It's impossible to miss this building adorned with a stag, one of the oldest in the citadel. Rooms are tucked along a maze of corridors, many with stunning views of the square, have wrought-iron beds and walls adorned with tasteful watercolours. It's serene, though service can be chippy. Breakfast not included.
