Travel views: November 3 to 9, 2012 We stayed in the middle villa shown on the waterfront. It was an idyllic location, until one evening a storm began and yachts in the harbour soon came adrift. We were woken in the night by the ferocious sea hitting our front door. The only way of leaving the property was along that walkway, and we were trapped for several hours. The following morning it was calmer, the concrete steps at the end of the walkway had vanished and the beach was a completely different shape. The local people commented that it wasn't the sort of thing that usually happened in August. It has made us wary, though - we now always consider the prospect of a bad storm before booking self-catering properties. Gill Fynn, by email Transylvania: go now I thoroughly enjoyed Adrian Bridge's piece (Prince Charles of Transylvania). I have spent two holidays at Count Kalnoky's guesthouse in Miclosoara and it is just like stepping back in time. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a holiday with a difference. The scenery is breathtaking, in particular the Pied Piper Gorge where legend has it that the children of Hamlin were brought. You can even go down a salt mine. In spring the meadows are full of wild flowers. I have never seen so many pyramid orchids in one place. The count is a charming man with great vision and it was nice to see the photograph of him with the Prince of Wales on the cart. We had several trips out on a cart with Stephan, who is also in the picture. He invited us to his home, where we spent a very enjoyable afternoon with him and his family. The best doughnuts I have ever eaten were courtesy of his wife. It's definitely a place to be visited before the 21st century encroaches too much. Sheila Putt Deacon, by email My husband and I spent a magical few days at Count Kalnoky's estate three years ago. At first sight, the rooms appeared basic, but in fact they were supremely comfortable. As we were there early in the season, we were able to go where we wanted and visit what we wanted; everything was clean, wholesome and welcoming. The food was home-made, home-grown and delicious. Anyone who is interested should visit now - in a few years television and modern communications will have got in the way. Everything at Count Kalnoky's is as it was and should be, but I have no doubt that within the next five years (certainly 10) the modern world will arrive and it will become the same as everywhere else. Carol Barratt, by email Norfolk feast I don't know about Alex Polizzi's 41st ("Cold comfort: the perfect winter hotels"), but I had a wonderful 60th birthday party "feast" at The Gunton Arms in Norfolk. Great food for sharing and faultless service. The bedrooms are decorated with impeccable taste and, as for the sight of the deer in the park flying through the morning mist... The only downside is that we poor locals are finding it difficult to book. Anne Ashmanhaugh, by email Oldies but goodies Two years ago my husband, then 87, and I embarked on our fifth independent tour of India and next March we plan to celebrate his 90th birthday in Burma. Let's have more letters, blogs and experiences from the real oldies, please!
