luxury houses for sale Bucharest, Romania (page 2)

Heading to Huedin from Cluj-Napoca, one steps into Călatei Land, a region with villages where there are still carved wooden gates, old houses, authentic customs; a region where the people cook old recipes, wear folk costumes and enjoy traditional dances. Mănăstireni is only 50 km away from Cluj-Napoca, in Călatei Land, a settlement probably dating back to antiquity according to the Roman vestiges embedded in the walls of the old reformed church: two carved funerary lions and a medusa (gorgon) head. Otherwise, the first documentary attestation of Mănăstireni dates from 1332. Walking along the country road, the real estate is located right on the edge of the forest: a glimpse of paradise in an undisturbed oasis of green and peace. On the fenced plot of 7,500 sqm, the buildings that make up the property respect the spirit of the place and invite to pastoral retreat. The first building is the guest house, with lime plastered walls and roses in front of the porch. The house has two living spaces with separate entrances. The interiors are furnished in a rustic style, with the roof wooden beams left uncovered and stone finishes in the kitchen area. Painted pieces of furniture and doors, pillows embroidered with traditional motifs or the iron stove are the details which preserve the specifics of the place while providing modern comfort. The old farmhouse was divided into two independent spaces, connected by an alley whose roof is being finished, but which projects the space directly into nature. The first building is structured on two levels: ground floor and attic. It is a railroad house, with windows on both sides. The exterior stone walls seem to prepare for an austere and minimalist interior. In reality, the interior design is sophisticated, ingeniously using the linear layout of the construction by creating spaces with precise destinations in complementary styles. The rustic style kitchen is complemented by the antiqued wooden frames and the wooden roof. Comfortable furniture and finishes with stone and wallpaper are the choice for the living room opposite the open kitchen . The bedroom is bright and the home's two bathrooms display an impressive design and quality. The attic occupies only a portion of the building and is set up as a bedroom. The second building in the old farmhouse is not finished, but used as an arts and crafts workshop and warehouse.The former shed, with a generous size, is used as a garage for 2 or 3 cars. The real estate is truly a glimpse of paradise, a perfect retreat into nature and access to fairy-tale lands, unspoiled by the passage of time. It can be kept in the current structure or expanded according to the vision of the future owner. photo Florin Pepene

On a corner of plains, on a foot of heaven - this is how the Romanian fairytale land is described, but good things also happen at the foot of the mountain, especially when it is Retezat with its glacial lakes and rare flora. The small town of Râu de Mori is located near the Colț fortress that inspired Jules Verne’s The Carpathian Fortress and 42 km away from Prislop Monastery.

Located on Dinicu Golescu Boulevard, The Villa with Gorgons is one of the few buildings from the beginning of the 20th century that has been preserved on this important artery of Bucharest. The building was built in 1913 and bears the signature of Ion D. Berindey, one of the most famous and prolific Romanian architects of the first three decades of the 20th century. Among the 29 works classified as historical monuments of Ion D. Berindey are the Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino Palace (today the headquarters of the George Enescu National Museum and the Romanian Composers Union), the George G. Assan House (today the House of Scientists), Palace of the Journalists' Union (today the Very Small Theatre). The Villa with Gorgons was built as Colonel Andreescu's private residence as explained by Revista Poporului, a newspaper of the time, which emphasizes how a good architect can with a modest amount easily obtain a completely satisfactory construction from the aesthetic and comfortable point of view. From an aesthetic point of view, the building is tributary to the romantic style and has as a distinctive sign the gorgonles, sculptures that decorate the facade. Gorgons are taken from Greek culture where symbols on doors, walls, windows, floors and shields were intended to protect the ancient Greeks from evil. In terms of use, the villa is truly versatile and can be set up as a home, office space or a bohemian restaurant. Located on a land area of ​​309 square meters, with a footprint of 101 square meters, Vila cu Gorgone is a slim building, with a D+D+1E+M height regime. The spaces are generous and balanced on levels. The ground floor and first floor have three rooms each and spacious entrance halls. The rooms have wide windows and are bright. The same generous space also exists in the mezzanine, and the attic is open space and perfect for a bohemian design. The villa has two access ways: one pedestrian and another for car access. The building is strengthened and the facade is completely restored. Photo: Tudor Prisecaru, Alex Canjea.

The building is a small jewel, richly decorated and preserving a classic elegance and the distinction of the era in which it was built. The archives mention that in 1911 the house belonged to a certain lieutenant Ionescu about whom today we don't know much, only the essential - he was a man of taste. The building is a former private residence with a low height regime but it offers sufficient and intelligently designed space for the needs of a modern family or company. Until recently, the Austrian Consulate functioned in the building. There are pilasters with capitals that guard the bay window both inside and outside in the living area; they are also found, though with reduced height, as decorative pillars of the entrance porch. The semicircle is the geometric figure chosen to complement and sweeten the straight lines of the window boxes and blazons on the facade; it is found at the bay window, at the windows facing the street and in the double-arched pediment. The double doors at the entrance complement the classic style of the building with decorative garlands and paneling. The windows are high, and the window casing adds an extra touch of elegance; the same role is played by the small iron decorations that serve as fasteners for downspouts. The ground floor is located on a high basement and this lends it presence. Inside, the building requires renovation work but it promises to reward you with spaces with personality that still preserve, in some rooms, the original parquet flooring and stoves with beautiful ironwork. The upper floor is not fully visible from the front; it reveals itself on the side, where there is also a secondary entrance to the building. The unfurnished attic can be lofted as a storage space. The area still retains many buildings from the end of the 19th century, which gives it a bohemian air and guarantees protection from an urban planning point of view. Some of the buildings have been restored and many others are waiting for their chance at a new life. The centrality of the area invites commercial investment in both office space and commercial units and makes it attractive for future developments.

A pension with restaurant built in 2007 in Olimp resort, right on the shore of Lake Tătlăgeac and near the Black Sea, protected from noise and crowding. It is located at the entrance in Olimp from DN 39B, in a quiet natural environment. The construction project was carried out by a German architect, who combined the modern design with traditional features, using predominantly natural materials. The reed roof is specific to the lake area - besides the pleasant appearance, this material also has excellent insulation properties. The guesthouse has 12 duplex rooms equipped with living room, separate bedroom with access through the interior stairs and bathroom. Seven of the rooms have view of the lake (N-E) and from their terrace you can admire the sunrise. The restaurant with indoor lounge has a capacity of 60 seats and is equipped with bar, sound system, video projector and LCD TV, being also usable as conference room. The terrace has a capacity of 150 seats. The property has a parking lot of 460 sqm and a free land of 2200 sqm, suitable for new constructions, with an opening of 40 linear meters to the lake, thus offering the possibility of expanding the tourist complex. The Reed House benefits from its own 120 sqm outdoor pool, close to the terrace and the lake, plus a private 300 sqm beach set with natural sea sand on the lake shore and a recreation area for adults and children, with facilities for tennis, basketball, soccer, badminton, trampoline, pool for the little ones, billiards, darts, poker, chess. The construction of the Olimp resort started in 1971, in the north of Neptun resort, following a project carried out by a group of architects led by Arch. Aron Ghimberg-Solari, the same who built between 1964 and 1965 the Spring Pallace in Bucharest, the residence of Ceaușescu family. The resort entered the tourist circuit in 1972 and was reserved for important dignitaries and guests of honor invited by Nicolae Ceaușescu. During the communist period, Olimp was a very expensive resort. The Reed House offers the opportunity to take over a profitable business in the field of tourism and event hosting, with hundreds of positive reviews on profile websites. The main strengths of the property are the quiet and isolated location, in the middle of nature, the clean air offered by the Black Sea and lake, the land of 5964 sqm and its overall facilities.

Located in the prestigious Sector 1 of Bucharest, this exceptional 870 sqm villa stands among the most remarkable historic residences to emerge on the market in recent years. Built in 1914 and designed by Victor Ștefănescu, personal architect to King Carol I, the residence is a refined and authentic expression of Neo-Romanian architecture, preserved with remarkable fidelity to its original form for over a century. Commissioned by Victor Ionescu, Romania’s first ambassador to Portugal and brother of the prominent statesman and former Prime Minister Take Ionescu, the villa transcends its architectural value to embody a meaningful chapter of Romanian history. It served as a meeting place for the Conservative-Democratic Party, where key decisions were shaped regarding Romania’s entry into World War I. Victor Ștephănescu’s architectural legacy includes some of Romania’s most important national landmarks, such as the Cercul Militar Național, the Arcul de Triumf, the Constanța Casino, and the Coronation Cathedral of Alba Iulia, a context that further elevates the cultural significance of this residence. Inside, the property retains the grandeur and authenticity of its era almost in its entirety. Generous proportions define the living spaces, with ceiling heights reaching 4.4 meters on the ground floor and 4 meters on the upper level, while expansive halls exceeding 50 sqm create a rare sense of scale and elegance. The central oak staircase, a true statement piece, is crowned by a monumental painting by Stoica Dumitrescu, depicting Stephen the Great rewarding seven peasants following a victory against the Ottoman Empire. Original parquet flooring, stained glass, marble fireplaces, silk wall coverings, and oak paneling contribute to an atmosphere of timeless refinement, complemented by stucco detailing and distinctive exterior decorative elements inspired by chestnut leaves, a rare feature within Neo-Romanian architecture. Wrought iron accents and cast-iron radiators adorned with floral motifs complete the residence’s authentic character. Unexpectedly for such a central location, the villa reveals a private garden of approximately 720 sqm, a true urban sanctuary. With a rustic charm and lush vegetation, it features fruit trees, fig trees, raspberries, strawberries, and mint, creating a self-contained ecosystem that feels entirely removed from the rhythm of the city. This secluded outdoor space is equally suited for quiet relaxation or for hosting elegant private gatherings. Between the 1970s and 1990s, the residence further cemented its cultural significance by serving as a setting for numerous landmark Romanian film productions, including Gaițele, Balanța, Lumini și Umbre, and Buletin de București. During this period, it welcomed many of the era’s most celebrated actors, becoming a vibrant backdrop for Romania’s “Golden Generation” of cinema and adding yet another layer to its enduring legacy.

Located in Voluntari, within a mature residential enclave in the northern part of Bucharest, this property sits in one of the most highly regarded family-oriented areas near the capital. It offers fast access to the city while standing out for its proximity to one of Romania’s strongest private educational infrastructures — a key criterion for this segment of the residential market. Within a radius of approximately 2.5 km lies one of the most concentrated educational hubs in the northern area: four of the most prestigious international private schools, offering British and American curricula alongside established international programs, complemented by around 15 top-tier private kindergartens. Immediate connections to Erou Iancu Nicolae, DN1, A3 and DNCB ensure efficient access both to the northern business districts and to Henri Coandă International Airport. The property is positioned in a private villa compound with controlled access and video-monitored infrastructure, on a wide street with an exclusively residential profile. The setting is discreet, stable, and secure — characteristics that have consistently supported the long-term value of the area. The generous plot of nearly 2,000 sqm accommodates a residence with a built area of 533 sqm, completed in 2007 and first occupied in 2008. A rarely encountered advantage is the continuity of the property’s management and maintenance. Since completion, the same professional team has handled the full upkeep of the house — interior, exterior, garden, and furniture — preserving the project’s original standards. All technical documentation, plans, and supplier contacts can be transferred to the new owner, ensuring a smooth and well-supported transition. The interior is centered around a striking living area of approximately 50 sqm, with a 6-meter ceiling height and full-height glazed surfaces that bring natural light to the forefront and create a direct relationship with the outdoors. Architectural elements — the discreetly integrated fireplace, the wood-clad feature wall, and the sculptural staircase — complete the space in a balanced, understated manner. The Veneta Cucine kitchen, fitted with top-range appliances, is designed for flexibility and can be separated from the living area when desired. A dedicated wellness zone with sauna and jacuzzi adds everyday comfort. Generous terraces — including a panoramic rooftop terrace spanning the full footprint of the house — extend the living experience, complemented by natural stone and marble finishes and hardwood flooring selected for durability and refinement. The mature garden balances relaxation and functionality, with clearly defined green areas, orchard and garden zones that provide privacy and a well-structured natural setting. The outdoor terrace, equipped with a retractable pergola and integrated lighting, supports daily use, while parking solutions are discreetly integrated to preserve the visual coherence of the property. Upgrades completed in 2024 — including the new kitchen, exterior deck, and retractable illuminated pergola — introduce a contemporary layer to a residence with a timeless character, without altering its identity. Overall, the property addresses a buyer who values strong positioning, immediate access to elite education, and the discipline of a well-managed home over time. Located in Voluntari, at the immediate edge of northern Bucharest, the residence offers a stable, secure, and long-term relevant living environment.

Seen from above, the landscape unfolds in a vast expanse of green, traced only by three parallel roads intersected by two others, all set far apart from each other. Between them, nothing but vegetation — and upon closer inspection, one area stands out through the symmetry of vineyard rows, neatly aligned in perfect order. A small orchard separates the vineyard from the winery. At ground level, access to the property is through a gate framed by red brick pillars; to the right, the eye is drawn to a house with the personality of the old and unconquered, while straight ahead lies the vineyard in all its splendor — 3.13 hectares in the heart of the D.O.C. Miniș / Crișana wine region. Here, Cabernet Sauvignon is cultivated using sustainable viticulture methods (the organic certification process for both the vineyard and the wine began in 2022). The grapes are vinified as a single varietal, and the winery holds vintages over ten years old, made from vines aged between 35 and 50 years. An additional feature that gives the estate a unique potential is the land subdivision – there are nine intravilan (buildable) plots, each with easy access (asphalt or gravel roads), utilities on site, and the possibility to build holiday cottages or bungalows. This configuration allows for the development of a tourist and leisure area, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy the complete vineyard and wine experience. The property includes vineyard maintenance services, as well as the full infrastructure necessary for premium wine production – from grape to bottle, under the Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.P. Miniș). There is also the possibility to store the wine produced in the estate’s cellars, while the central area of the property can host private events or wine tastings in an authentic, rustic, and elegant setting. Wine has been produced in Birăuaș since 1801, at that time under the name Josef Domany Estates, official supplier to the Imperial Court of Vienna, which obtained the title of K.U.K. Hoflieferant in 1899. Active again since 2002, the property now owns the most valuable part of these former estates — three wine cellars and part of the old vineyard. The vines embrace not only the land but also the corners of the house, climbing gently around old wooden shutters and up to the eaves. Alongside the low stone fences separating the areas and the wooden pillars supporting heavy red-tiled roofs, the breeze whispering through the ripe grape clusters tells the story of a life fulfilled through passion and dedication to nature. The Miniș wines were awarded in London (1862, 1876) and Budapest (1875, 1884) and have not lost their value today, continuing to receive awards and maintaining an average rating of 3.8/5 on Vivino. These wines have excellent aging potential, being barrel-aged in French oak, and the sale package includes approximately 20,000 bottles of premium bottled wine.In addition to the winery and winemaking equipment, the property also includes a mini-distillery (a Christian Carl column still with trays) where high-quality distillates are produced from wine and pomace (“Grappa”), as well as a special fortified wine (“vin de noix”). The property is sold as a fully functional business, including all equipment and machinery for wine production, distillation, and vineyard processing (complete list available upon request), along with a comprehensive branding and e-commerce package (new website, integrated online shop, logo rebranding, labels, business cards, wine list, etc.), domestic retail contracts (resellers/distributors and specialized venues). Next to the vineyard are two traditional houses (colne, built in the mid-19th century) totaling 380 sqm, arranged as tasting and relaxation spaces, a 210 sqm production building, 200 sqm of vaulted cellars, covered terraces, and an attic of approximately 200 sqm suitable for conversion. D.O.C. Miniș Vineyard - Cabernet Sauvignon – 12 years old, approx. 4,800 vines/ha on 3.13 ha and fruit orchard

This distinguished property represents one of the rare opportunities to own a residence that brings together architectural heritage, character, and versatility in a refined and harmonious composition. Set on a 1,120 sqm plot, the estate unfolds over a built area of 1,300 sqm and comprises an imposing main villa and two annex houses, offering a total of 30 rooms, 14 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms — a scale that supports both the intimacy of a private residence and the prestige of a representative headquarters. Built in 1908 on what is today Logofăt Luca Stroici Street (formerly Biserica Popa Chițu Street), the residence was commissioned by engineer Caton Simon and designed by German architect Josef Geggerle (b. 1873), in collaboration with engineer and contractor Wilhelm Brand; during the interwar period, the property was owned by Heinerich Steinberg — details that reinforce its documented historical lineage and identity. The main villa, with its elegant façade, Corinthian columns, and finely crafted architectural details, reveals a charming interior with high ceilings, solid wood herringbone parquet flooring, original chandeliers, and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The balanced layout includes multiple reception salons, private offices, and relaxation areas, evoking the atmosphere of an aristocratic residence. The two annex houses, discreetly positioned within the courtyard, perfectly complement the ensemble — ideal for guest accommodation, creative workspaces, or refined offices. The landscaped garden, surrounded by mature trees, offers an oasis of calm in the heart of the city, while the villa’s architectural integrity makes it suitable both as an exclusive private residence and as an embassy or premium company headquarters. The property’s rehabilitation project received an award at the National Architecture Biennale, Bucharest, 2012 — recognition of its architectural value and of an intervention carried out with respect for the building’s original character. Located in the prestigious Icoanei area, one of Bucharest’s most refined and valuable historic districts, the property benefits from a privileged setting, surrounded by shaded streets, elegant villas, and major cultural landmarks. This part of the city has long been associated with artistic life, diplomatic residences, and timeless refinement, offering a balanced blend of tranquility and proximity to the vibrant city center. Blending classical charm with contemporary potential, this emblematic Bucharest property stands as a true architectural statement — grand, elegant, and ready to embrace a new destination worthy of its stature.

The work of the renowned Sighisoara-born architect Fritz Balthes, the school in Bruiu/Braller, like those in Cincșor, Gherdeal and Veșeud also signed by him, enjoys a central location in the immediate vicinity of the fortified evangelical church, an object of interest both for the community and for tourists. A photograph from 1923 shows it as a solid but not necessarily rigid building; even in black and white, the school, which respects the local style, offers an expressive play of volumes, fragmented and completed by a small tower. The building, completed in 1913, is an expression of the Transylvanian architect's personal Secession style - floral, vegetal and geometric motifs blending harmoniously. Currently, all the elements and details of the construction are identified and documented, and there is also a considerable volume of official documents in this regard. In Saxon communities, school has always had an important role, being essential for preserving identity; history has even noted that the first attested institution dates back to 1380 and that, for the first time in Europe, in 1722 primary education for boys and girls was established by them (by comparison, in England this only happened in 1870). The building is L-shaped with three access ways - the main one through the front in the middle area and two secondary ones (student access and the private one to the teacher's home) in the courtyard of the building, through the two opposite ends of it. The volume having the P+1E structure has one classroom per level; the S+P volume facing the street with the long side functioned as a space for the chancellery and the teacher's residence. The cellar consists of several semi-cylindrical vaulted rooms. The former school in Bruiu has high and bright rooms separated by hallways with white walls gathered in pastel belts, with columns and sturdy balustrades. All areas retain the original pavement made of prefabricated mosaic tiles with discreet colors (gray, red, black, beige). The tiles are arranged in a checkerboard pattern or make up perimeter borders, with each room having its own custom pattern. Other original elements are the window hardware, the complex beam structures supporting the cladding and the solid oak steps throughout the building. Existing modern utilities include three-phase current, running water, fiber optic internet. The Saxon school is probably the only rural building with a known author in the village; returning it to the wider community by harnessing its cultural tourism potential can only be a win-win project. An example of good practice is the former Saxon school in Cincșor, purchased over time, together with the parish house and other housing, by a former student and transformed into Cincșor Transylvania Guesthouses, a successful development. The other former schools designed by Fritz Balthes in Veșeud and Gherdeal were recently purchased to be renovated and included in the tourist circuit; the former cultural center in Șomartin, also signed by Balthes, is also currently under renovation. Bruiu is located 60 km from Sibiu and 100 km from Brașov, which gives the future owner access to two of the most attractive tourist areas in the country, strongly marked by the Saxon heritage so appreciated by modern travelers. In the area: • The Cistercian Abbey of Carta • Hatibaciu Valley • Fagaras mountains • The Saxon villages of Viscri, Meșendorf, Biertan, Alma Vii, • Richis, etc • Fagaras Fortress photo Florin Pepene

The Communal Society for Affordable Housing, founded in the early 20th century, played a crucial role in transforming Bucharest's urban landscape by developing standardised housing. Among its most significant projects is the Clucerului Plot, a landmark of housing reform to introduce the Neo-Romanian architectural style. Clucerului was the first plot developed by the Society, comprising just 61 homes on three streets, on the former grounds of Boerescu Park. The original owners included lawyers, professors, officers, and public officials. Type C and D homes, paired under the same roof and built on 180 square meter plots, were designed to provide generous, well-structured spaces for families, emphasising the concept of a house surrounded by a garden, a model that became essential for the city's expansion. Notably, none of the houses in this plot were damaged by the earthquakes of 1940 and 1977. The housing project was designed by the renowned architect Ioan D. Trajanescu, who also built his own residence here—a lasting symbol of the plot and the only individual building. The project was praised for its simplicity, purity of form and style, and picturesque verandas, which evoked traditional architectural craftsmanship (Universul Literar). It incorporated traditional architectural references, such as the semicircular window frames on the facade. Part of this development, our residence combines the charm of the Neo-Romanian style with modern functionality. The villa impresses with its spaciousness, offering no fewer than eight intelligently arranged rooms, ideal for a family seeking timeless comfort and elegance. The villa features three distinct entrances, providing flexibility and privacy for its residents. The front building section includes the ground floor, first floor, and attic—a perfect space to convert 20 square meters into a children's play area. Designed in a wagon style, the ground floor connects to the second, taller building section. In this so-called tower, you find the second and third floors, crowned by a generous 40-square-meter terrace on the top floor—ideal for relaxation, family events, or quiet evenings under the stars. Additionally, a small 10-square-meter semi-basement can be used for storage, laundry, or drying room, while the larger semi-basement, double in size, can function as an office. The garden has been completely renovated, becoming a perfect oasis for outdoor recreation and activities. Clucerului Plot, known for introducing housing reform and promoting the Neo-Romanian style, represents a dream location for those who appreciate history and elegance. Here, each house tells a story, and this property is no exception.

There is beauty in living by the lake and the mountain – heavy thoughts clear like the fog, silence enrobes forests and humans, body and soul find space to relax and thrive. The two villas villas united under the name of Gasthof Tirol in the Semenic mountains offer just that – space, silence and beauty. The villas, one built in the Austrian style, the other Canadian, have rooms full of personality, inspired by different cultures - there are logs that build a wall and striped textiles for a classic rustic atmosphere, there is furniture painted in Tyrolean red and green but also a soothing Japanese minimalism. The Austrian villa, with a lot of wood and stone, has two levels that together offer 14 rooms, matrimonial or twin, with private bathroom and a view of the lake or the Canadian cottage. They are served by a living room that can accommodate up to 60 people and a lounge area with fireplace, bar and TV. The basement contains the SPA area with dry sauna, wet sauna, a massage area with a bed and equipment for facial treatments, clamshell showers, lounge chairs for relaxation and a Jacuzzi area. Also here are the wine cellar, the storage shed with two freezers and shelves, the bathrooms for customers, the changing room and the bathroom for employees as well as the technical room for heat with two new generation central units (purchased in 2019) with a pellet and wood system and automation with solar panels located on the roof of the building. These have recently been changed - they are now more energy and thermally efficient. Next to the technical room there is a gang where firewood and bags of pellets are stored for winter. In the technical room there is also a boiler, a storage buffer for the hot water produced by the solar panels and the technical plants and cold water storage tanks. All pumps are Villo, as is the water filtration system with its own pumping station. The Canadian chalet, with classic log walls and mountain stone, was built in 2008 and offers 8 en suite rooms on the 1st floor with views of the forest or the swimming pools. On the ground floor there is a meeting room for 40 people equipped with a video projector, flipchart, pinchart, fireplace and television, as well as a service bathroom and a two-room suite with its own bathroom for staff. The warehouse and technical room with boilers and water storage tanks as well as the thermal plant and the pallet silo are located in the basement. The water comes from its own source - a water catchment and a well. The solar panel heated pool has 34 sunbeds and 4 canopies, a lawn area, bar, service bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, changing rooms, dry sauna and clamshell rockers. Children have a play area with a slide, tree house and trampoline. The villa and cottage functioned as a guesthouse, but they can easily be converted into a private residence; sold both together and separately.

In one of the old royal cities of the Habsburg Empire, the one called Elisabetopole, Elizabetopolis, Ibașfalău, Ibișfalău, Bășcăleț, Elisabethstadt, Epeschdorf, or Erzsébetvároș, there is a bright and bold building catching the eye instantly. It is centrally located, on one of the main arteries and near the Armenian cathedral, the one that lost one dome.

Holiday house on the hill Brad, Hunedoara With the forest at the back, the property has a special charm to which the location on a hill contributes greatly- the view towards the small town of Brad in the valley is stunning both in late summer, when the meadows are strewn with haystacks, and in winter, when the snow covers the houses, the fields, and forests. The architecture is typical of the mountain with the solid, stone-hewn ground floor and wooden balconies with cheerful geraniums hanging from the railings. The interior also respects the convention of mountain interior design having the walls clad in wood; their warm and understated hue provides the perfect backdrop for relaxed living. It is a rustic minimalism, dewormed from classic intrusions that slip easily into kitsch. Elegant crocheted curtains and wooden furniture add charm. The inviting kitchen and generous terraces with hammocks make for relaxing afternoons, and in the evening the panorama is magical – the lights of the valley look like fireflies dancing in the night. On the ground floor are the living room with open kitchen, the toilet and the separate technical room; the first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub and shower and on the second floor there are two bedrooms, one of which has both a double bed and a sofa and space for an extra bed, with access to the 100 sqm balcony that surrounds the building. In addition, there is also a generous storage space of 36m2. On the property there is also a workshop/storage shed for tools, bikes, ATVs (area 16.5 sq m), a 92 sq m terrace with lawn, built-in bathtub for 10 people, relaxation corner with campfire and a summer kitchen covered, with a terrace of about 30 sqm. The lodge has a camera system with mobile phone access (5 cameras), alarm system, fiber glass internet connection and drinking water connection from the municipal network. One can also reach the cottage from the road using the picturesque wooden stairs. In addition to guaranteed relaxation on the property, the area also offers the possibility of mountain hiking, mountain bike rides or fishing; skiing can be done in the neighboring county, on the slopes of Alba. In Brad there is an interesting gold museum that documents the history of the mining industry in the area; currently the mines are closed, wood processing being the predominant activity in the region. Some of them can be visited on an organized tour, and the Retezat National Park and the city of Deva with its fortress are not even an hour away.

With a green hill in the background as a theater setting, this mini-park of leisure promises and delivers well-being. On the property there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools with heated water, jacuzzi, wet & dry sauna, deckchairs that invite you to laze around in the afternoon, massage room, a synthetic football field that becomes an ice rink in winter, large and green courtyard, playground, generous terraces. A conference room equipped with video projector is ready to receive corporations for attractive team building sessions. The main building with its long sloping roof houses the spa, 10 guest rooms and the function room with a capacity of 60 people. The restaurant, with a similar capacity, occupies a separate building and the accommodation space is completed by the cabin, called Ursa perhaps in honor of the sky full of stars in this peaceful corner of the world. Built in 2016, close to the Bistrița river and the Colibița lake, the guesthouse is currently only rented in its entirety, in self-catering mode (7 double rooms with private bathroom, living & dining room, terrace, gazebo & grill). The beauty of the natural landscape inspires hiking, cycling through the woods, boating on the lake, carting or horse-drawn sleigh rides. Tourists can visit the nearby trout farm or sheepfold and, depending on the season, participate in agricultural activities in the guesthouse's garden. Extending the range of action throughout Bistrița-Năsăud county, natural reserves, lakes, churches and monasteries, caves and fortresses are popular points of attraction. photo Florin Pepene

n the vineyard, the cuttings are neatly lined up in orderly rows as if they are queuing up to meet the horizon. The relief is slightly undulating, as befits a vineyard – there are gentle valleys, clay hills and low elevations, arranged naturally at random so that the grapes capture the light, store all the heat of the sun and later, in the tanks, deposit it as an offering to the yeasts in the form of sugar. That's where the magic begins, from the vineyard and the sun gathered by human hands and left to ferment in a controlled manner, in silence, in the wine cellar (the locals proudly say that there are as many cellars as there are houses in the village, or even more). The climatic and geographical conditions of the area are perfect for making good wine. Wine is important in the economy and the lives of the locals; their gratitude and their pride as producers is expressed annually on the third Saturday of October, when the Grape Festival is organized in Dobra, dedicated especially to the village people but also to guests from abroad. Today the view cannot take in the 300 hectares of vineyards in this hilly area with a wine-growing tradition. At Pogany Dobra the vine is young, with pulsating sap, as it was planted in 2011, 2012 and 2014, therefore no replanting or additions are needed, but the extension of the vineyard is possible. A small part is cultivated with table varietals such as Black magic, Kardinal, Matilde and Victoria (approx. 2-3 ha each). The wine varieties and their areas are: - Fetească neagră approx. 25 ha - Merlot approx. 30 ha - Cabernet about 30 ha - Pinot noir approx. 30 ha - Italian Riesling approx. 25 ha - Fetească albă approx. 25 ha - Sauvignon blanc approx. 25 ha - Muscat ottonel approx. 20 ha - Tamaioasa romaneasca approx. 20 ha - Traminer roz approx. 15 ha - Large Burgundy approx. 10 ha - Cadarca approx. 15 ha - Pinot gris approx. 15 ha - Cabernet franc approx. 5 ha Together with the vineyard land, the winemaking space is also purchased with everything necessary for harvesting (tractors, combines, trailers, etc.) and processing the harvest - a platform on which two buildings are erected on a metal structure and sandwich panels (one with controlled temperature) with storage capacity of approx. 800,000 liters in stainless tanks of different capacities. There are also gleaners, presses of various capacities, pumps, filters - a whole processing line that still requires some investment. Soil analyzes and other documents can be made available to those interested, and the owners believe that the of the investment has a promising calendar, being possible in 3-4 seasons. They also base this conviction on the fact that Pogany Dobra wine is appreciated by connoisseurs, the Pogany labels being evaluated at international and local competitions (Feteasca neagra from 2015 received, for example, silver at the Concourse International de Vins, Brussels 2019).
