Prince Charles' secret holiday home in Transylvania unveiled: see inside

It's no secret that Prince Charles owns an extensive property portfolio, but it's less common knowledge that it includes a rural farmhouse in Viscri, a small village in Transylvania. The Prince of Wales bought the property in 2006, after falling in love with the country during a visit in 1998. Typically, he spends a couple of days a year in the country, while the guest house is rented out to the public when he is not there. It's known as the Blue House, and features seven double bedrooms with en-suites, a drawing and dining room, a sitting room and a kitchen. Take a look inside…
