He owns a few properties there in the small village including Villa Eva and one of my favorite places to eat in Italy - Villa Maria. "Swallow's Nest" is only visible when effectively going down from Ravello to the sea.<br><br>Rare will be the price that Leona Helmsley's 40-acre place in Greenwich's backcountry is listed at. Dunellen Hall should be listed next month at $125 million and unlike the property on the CT/NY boarder listed for just under $100M the Helmsley property truly might fetch north of $75M.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spectacular Bid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2008 7:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Real Estate: Dracula's Castle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been to Bran Castle.  It's definitely a "one of a kind" property - with the "Dracula" lore thrown in to boot.  It's enormous and furnished.  But it wouldn't make it for a hotel in the traditional sense.  There really aren't that many suitable rooms.  And all those secret passages could cause trouble....But for someone who can "Count" an extra $135 million in their pocket.....sure.....go for it.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr. No Rush]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2008 6:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Real Estate: Dracula's Castle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</guid><description><![CDATA[This "reporter" needs to re-take his high school grammar class.

He was held here as prisoner  but it wasn't his.  The castle he owned is in ruins and is on the top of a very high hill.  Saying Bran castle was Dracula's is like claiming every inn George Washington stayed in belonged to George.  Still, to say Drac stayed here is interesting.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sharon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2008 7:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Real Estate: Dracula's Castle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh thank you for clarifying that!! I thought that this was fictitiously linked to him as the owner and I was JUST about to Google it!  Interesting that some very well to do allegedly educated person will purchase it thinking it was actually his castle! LOL!.

Too bad more of us cannot appease our appetites in much the same way but excessive wealth often hurts more than it helps.

He says it is,"the castle in Transylvania that inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula".  Yes, the real Dracula's castle is in ruins, but if you've ever read the book, you'd realize that the one pictured above is the one used as a model for the castle in the book.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[steph5809]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2008 11:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Real Estate: Dracula's Castle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</guid><description><![CDATA[If I bought that place the locals would show up there  at night with pitchforks and torches]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tepesi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2008 11:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Real Estate: Dracula's Castle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a friend from Romania, transylvania province. They laugh at the stories of "Dracula". They remember "Vlad the impaler", among many other tyrants including the communists who have abused them over the centuries. It' kinda funny that the only people who can afford the castle think it's actually historic in the point of Dracula when it is actually the former home of a sick mass murderer lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[adave2001117]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2008 12:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Real Estate: Dracula's Castle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</guid><description><![CDATA[I doubt anyone would buy it to live in it.  There has been talk for years in Romania about having a Draculaland, sort of like Disneyland, to attract tourist dollars.  No one so far has had the development money necessary.  Looks like they are opening up the opportunity for a foreign investor.  We visited the castle just after 9/11.  One of the problems is that it would have to have the scale to bring in foreign tourists because the locals would not be able to afford it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[7continents]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 4th 2008 1:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Real Estate: Dracula's Castle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/02/01/the-world-of-rare-real-estate-draculas-castle/</guid><description><![CDATA[WOW!
