Singureni Manor Equestrian Retreat
Romanian hunting-lodge elegance meets working horse sanctuary. Think aged bourbons by the fireplace, antique wood panels, and Arabian stallions outside your window at dawn.
Saturday night 6-course Chef's Experience dinner is included in the room rate — don't double-book La Hambar that night
Why It Matters
Awarded 1 MICHELIN Key 2025. One of Europe's only luxury hotels built around an active Arabian horse breeding operation. La Hambar restaurant serves a 10-course modern Romanian tasting menu. Property spans 700 hectares with over 3,000 wild animals.
An hour's drive south of Bucharest, on 1,500+ acres of oak and acacia forest, Singureni Manor is the only hotel in the Michelin selection with an active Arabian horse breeding program — think 120+ horses, a world-class equestrian trainer, and weekly Saturday beauty shows. There are two distinct buildings: Paul's Lodge, the original hunting-lodge manor with 14 antique-furnished rooms and a private indoor pool; and Paul's Horses, an 18-room inn whose lobby door opens directly into the stables. Dinner at La Hambar is adults-only and genuinely excellent; Sunday brunch draws day-trippers from the capital on a strictly pre-booked basis.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Paul's Horses Apartment
The single apartment at Paul's Horses, offering more space than the standard rooms with the same direct stable access and forest views. Suited for families or guests wanting a longer stay.
Paul's Horses Room
18 rooms and one apartment inside the inn that sits directly adjacent to the stables. A door from the lobby opens straight to the horse stalls — you can slip out at any hour to watch feeding, grooming, or training. Rooms feature nature-inspired patterns and modern amenities, and every room has an undivided view of the forest canopy, which changes color dramatically with the seasons.
Paul's Lodge Room
Set inside the original hunting lodge — the beloved personal residence of the owners — these 14 rooms are each individually furnished with authentic antiques and nature-themed pieces. Heavy wood paneling, bespoke details, and thoughtful comfort make each room distinct. Guests share access to a private indoor pool, saunas, and jacuzzi, plus a large fireside lounge stocked with good wine and aged bourbons.
