Romania - Transylvanian treasure Family hunting manor reinvented as inn - by ALISON MUTLER

There is only one count in this remote Transylvanian village of 512 souls nestling in the wilds of the Carpathian Mountains -- and it isn't Count Dracula. Meet Count Tibor Kalnoky, a dashing 40-year-old entrepreneur and son of Transylvania descended from a noble family that settled in these misty lands in the 13th century and lived there until communism forced the family to flee.

Kalnoky's manor, which opened in 2001, lies deep in southern Transylvania, an area where myth and reality are loosely entwined. But you'll hardly hear a word here about Dracula, the Romanian warlord Vlad the Impaler or Bram Stoker's novels. Instead Kalnoky lures guests with the old world of Transylvanian customs and hospitality.
