Zabola Estate is a lived-in historic family estate and hotel in Zăbala, Transylvania. Its approximately 50-hectare historic castle park forms part of a wider landscape of more than 500 hectares under the estate’s stewardship. The Mikes family has been connected with Zabola for over 600 years.
Hidden in the wild Carpathian Mountains, Zabola is an inhabited family estate where forests, gardens, and history extend across more than 500 hectares. The castle park, once designed as an English landscape garden, now combines quiet elegance with untamed beauty.
Whether you are planning a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or simply a few peaceful days surrounded by nature, Zabola Estate looks forward to welcoming you.

At Zabola, where stillness meets story, your room is more than a place to sleep — it is part of the estate’s unfolding past. Our guesthouses, built between the 18th and 20th centuries, once served many roles — homes, retreats, quiet corners of a working estate shaped by time.
Today, five historic houses have been gently reimagined to welcome guests, each offering its own rhythm, character, and connection to the landscape. No two stays are the same — and that is just as it should be.


Some moments deserve more than just a table
They call for a setting that lingers in memory. Whether you’re marking a milestone, planning a surprise, or simply enjoying time together, our private dining experience offers space, stillness, and understated elegance. We invite you to share any personal touches or special wishes in advance. Our team will ensure every detail is just as you imagined — or perhaps even better.
Enjoy Yourself in The Castle SPA
Pressures and rubs help alleviate the harmful effects of stress, relax tense muscles, stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, and improve the condition of your skin. You can choose your own massage oil, depending on what scents you like or which combination of scents best harmonizes with your mood. In addition to important ingredients such as grape seed oil, safflower oil, avocado and wheat germ oil, the aromatherapy effect is due to natural essential oils such as grapefruit, sweet orange, lime, peppermint, rosemary or Ylang-Ylang.
