luxury houses for sale Romania (page 2)

Set just below Brașov Citadel, in one of the city’s most coveted and picturesque locations, this interwar residence is the kind of property that rarely comes to market and lingers in memory forever. With open, unobstructed views over Brașov and Tâmpa, the house seems to breathe in the storybook air of the old citadel, while remaining fully open to the present-day beauty of the city below. Positioned on a 739 sq.m plot, the house, built during the interwar period, is arranged over ground floor, first floor and attic, with a footprint of 126 sq.m and a total built area of 404 sq.m. Today, it is a renovation project, yet one with soul, presence and an architectural elegance that is impossible to overlook. Its charm lies not only in the history it carries, but also in the elements that have endured through time: the generous glazed area on the ground floor, the oval windows, and several original wooden details, all of which still speak of the character, proportion and refinement of the era in which it was built. These authentic features provide a valuable foundation for an inspired restoration, one capable of transforming this property into a truly exceptional residence. The sloping plot enhances both privacy and perspective, allowing the house to capture light, atmosphere and sweeping views in a way that few properties in Brașov can offer. This is not simply a house waiting to be renovated, but a place of rare beauty awaiting its rebirth. For the buyer with vision, sensitivity and ambition, this is a rare opportunity: not only to restore a home, but to breathe life back into a distinctive architectural presence and, perhaps, to create one of the most beautiful residences in Brașov.

The residence lies close to shopping areas, daily services, and one of Romania’s most modern schools now under construction, while the upcoming Cluj Regional Emergency Hospital—one of the country’s most significant and advanced medical developments—further strengthens the long-term value of this villa for sale. The arrival to the property unfolds through a beautifully structured garden where maples, hydrangeas, evergreens, climbing plants, and bamboo create a natural protective buffer. This lush vegetation ensures visual and acoustic privacy and shapes a pleasant microclimate, giving the home the distinctly serene feeling of a private retreat—peaceful and secluded while remaining only minutes from Cluj-Napoca. At the heart of the grounds lies a 32-sqm organic pool with jacuzzi, heated by a dedicated heat pump and framed by a curtain of bamboo that enhances the intimate, resort-like ambiance. A 25-sqm pavilion serves as a natural gathering point, ideal for summer evenings, elegant entertaining, or quiet moments outdoors. The terrace and carefully arranged grill area further extend the experience of a villa designed for both comfort and outdoor living. Built in 2018 in collaboration with architects, interior designers, and landscape specialists, the residence stands out through its quality and timeless aesthetic. Natural stone accents, travertine, marble, solid wood, and granite define the material palette, while expansive glazing fills the living spaces with natural light. The fluid connection between the kitchen, dining area, and living room supports contemporary open living. The upper levels are shaped with comfort and privacy in mind. The primary suite distinguishes itself through a softly curved architectural line—an elegant and uncommon feature among villas in the Cluj-Napoca area—creating a refined, calming atmosphere.

In Șurdești, Maramureș, a picturesque village defined by spectacular landscapes and UNESCO heritage, this estate presents a rare combination of architectural authenticity and infrastructure prepared for diverse uses — from an expansive private residence to a fully operational hospitality project, a boutique concept with strong local identity, or even a retirement retreat with integrated tourism activity. Its setting within this environment is ideal for those seeking the genuine tranquility of rural life and the charm of a traditional community, while also appealing to investors who recognize the value of a location with cultural recognition and sustained tourism appeal. The ensemble brings together three carefully restored traditional houses, crafted from wood, stone, and natural materials specific to the region, alongside a distinct residence expressed in a contemporary architectural language. The current configuration allows for immediate operation in a hospitality format, while simultaneously offering the flexibility to expand into a broader concept — thematic retreat, private event venue, experiential tourism destination, or a residence with an integrated commercial component. Two of the houses are arranged for accommodation, offering spacious en-suite rooms, while the third functions as a communal space, incorporating dining areas, kitchen facilities, and relaxation amenities. The generous attic provides the opportunity to increase capacity, and the presence of a fourth building — modern in design and efficiently compartmentalized — enables a clear separation between residential and business areas. The property may therefore function either as a private residence with complementary hospitality income or as an independent rural tourism business, scalable into a more extensive boutique resort concept. Its proximity — just minutes from the ski slopes of Cavnic and approximately 20 minutes from Baia Mare — adds strategic value to any development vision, ensuring accessibility without compromising the authenticity sought by premium clientele. Through the versatility of its buildings, the potential for expansion, and the regional context favorable to cultural and active tourism, the property stands as a compelling opportunity both for the development of a coherent hospitality venture in Maramureș and for the creation of a private retreat with integrated economic potential.

Konopi Estate stands out through a refined architectural presence shaped by balanced proportions and the restrained elegance of Neoclassical design. Known as a castle, the residence discreetly commands its surroundings through the harmony of its volumes and a monumental entrance framed by paired columns and semi-columns crowned with Corinthian capitals. Symmetrical setbacks add depth to the composition, while the understated ornamentation and beige-green façade palette emphasize its timeless character. Within the grounds lies the estate’s former chapel, recognizable by the sundial placed above its entrance. Later donated to the Roman Catholic Church, it preserves in its apse the heraldic coats of arms of the Brunszvik and Forray families — lasting testimonies to the aristocratic lineage that shaped the property. The estate witnessed the vibrant social life of the aristocracy, hosting gatherings and cultural events characteristic of its era. The uprising of Horia, Cloșca and Crișan in 1784 brought significant devastation, marking a turning point in its history. In the mid-19th century, the property was acquired from Count Nádasdy by Antal Czigler de Konop, whose family officially adopted the name Konopi in 1870, preserving the noble predicate associated with the domain. Its origins reach much further back, forming part of the feudal domain of Șoimuș (Solymos). Over time, it belonged to notable Central European figures and noble families, including John Hunyadi — Voivode of Transylvania and Governor of the Kingdom of Hungary — Johann Giskra von Brandeis, captain to King Matthias Corvinus, the influential Bánffy family, and later the House of Georg of Brandenburg in 1510, before becoming the property of Prince Forray. The reconstruction of the estate coincided with the development of the railway along the Mureș Valley, making it one of the early regional buildings to integrate metal beams into its structure — a dialogue between tradition and modernity. The large stable within the western courtyard reflects late 19th-century industrial architecture, sharing similarities with the renowned Andrényi warehouses of the period. The last descendant of the family, Baron Kálmán Konopi (1880–1947), an engineer and agricultural researcher, returned after his studies abroad to manage the estate. Under his leadership, the property became a center for agricultural experimentation, where the renowned “Conop wheat” was developed through research focused on resilient grain varieties adapted to flooding and drought conditions. Patrons of the arts, the Baron and his wife, Boér Vilma, maintained close ties with the artistic colony of Gödöllő. During the interwar period, the estate became a meeting place for artists and intellectuals, associated with the evolution of Szecesszió — the Hungarian expression of the Art Nouveau movement. Today, the property extends across approximately 1.70 hectares, preserving the imprint of a remarkable aristocratic legacy and offering a rare opportunity to continue the story of an estate where architecture, agricultural innovation and European cultural life converged. Through its scale, architectural distinction and cultural significance, the estate offers exceptional versatility. It may become a prestigious private residence, a boutique hotel or cultural retreat, the headquarters of a foundation or representative institution, as well as a venue dedicated to events or artistic initiatives. The balance between history, setting and proportions allows the property to adapt to diverse contemporary visions while preserving the authenticity that defines its identity.

Located in the Historic Center of Bucharest, Kiriazi Hotel is a property of remarkable historical value, set on a 1,015 sqm plot at the intersection of Blănari Street and Băcani Street, in the immediate vicinity of the iconic Hanul cu Tei. The property benefits from a privileged position within the protected Lipscani area — a historic “lipscănie”-type commercial ensemble, unique in Bucharest and rare at a national level — offering direct access to major urban landmarks such as Lipscani Street, Calea Victoriei, Smârdan Street, and Calea Moșilor. The building is configured as basement + ground floor + two upper floors (S+P+2E), comprising commercial spaces at the basement and ground floor levels and leased residential units on the upper floors. These functions have remained consistent throughout its evolution — commercial activity combined with residential and temporary accommodation use, characteristic of the traditional inn-hotel typology. Constructed in its present form between 1882 and 1884, the building is organized around an interior courtyard and features two principal façades facing Blănari and Băcani Streets, preserving a high degree of architectural and compositional authenticity. The parcel has formed part of the city’s historic urban fabric since the 18th century, when it was occupied by Zamfir’s Inn, erected during that period and later owned by the Sărindar Monastery until the secularization of monastic estates in 1863. Analysis of historical sale and redemption documents indicates that Dr. G. Kiriazi initially acquired portions of Zamfir’s Inn through emphyteusis rights, subsequently purchasing the associated land. Following these acquisitions, he established the hotel along the eastern wing of the former inn, oriented toward Băcani Street, with contemporary press references documenting the early operation of Kiriazi Hotel. After successive acquisitions completed by Dr. G. Kiriazi in 1880 and 1882, Kiriazi Hotel was constructed as a representative example of late 19th-century public hospitality architecture. The building operated as a hotel until its nationalization in 1950, after which it was converted into a residential property — a function it retains today. The property holds significant memorial and symbolic value, being associated both with the personality of Dr. G. Kiriazi and with important cultural and social activities of the era. Within its premises operated Ștefănescu’s Tavern, a venue frequented by Mihai Eminescu, while the newspaper Voința Națională also maintained its headquarters in the building. The property is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments (Category B). Historical documents and urban plans confirm that the former Zamfir’s Inn occupied the same footprint as the current parcel, extending along Băcani Street toward Lipscani and adjacent to Hanul cu Tei, disproving theories suggesting the inn had been located on the interwar site currently occupied by Club A. At the time of its inauguration, a description published in România Liberă on February 24, 1884 highlighted the remarkable standards of the period: „Stilul Rennaissance, 2 etage în Centrul Capitalei, lângă Lipscani, (…) avend 59 camere, admirabil iluminate și aerate, 2 prăvălii, 2 pivniți, grajd pentru 8-10 cai, șopron pentru 4-5 trăsuri, (…) telefon și telegraf la fiecare cameră”. Through its exceptional location, documented history, architectural authenticity, and functional continuity, Kiriazi Hotel represents a compelling long-term investment opportunity, offering significant restoration and value-enhancement potential in one of Bucharest’s most important historic districts.

In the heart of the Hârtibaciu Plateau, within a village where historical identity and a tranquil rhythm of life have been carefully preserved, just 20 km from Viscri — a landmark of Transylvanian heritage internationally promoted by King Charles III — this traditional Saxon property offers a balanced combination of architectural authenticity and contemporary versatility. Discreetly set behind a solid brick wall, the homestead gradually reveals its character through a façade decorated with a wheat-toned ornamental band and traditional vegetal motifs. Blue shutters frame the windows that open into generous interiors, where exposed wooden beams and original tiled stoves preserve the distinctive atmosphere of Saxon homes. The double doors, painted in the area’s characteristic green, together with hand-painted benches, complete an authentic setting defined by simplicity and craftsmanship. The spacious courtyard, accessed through an arched gate and crossed by stone pathways, is arranged with mature vegetation and intimate relaxation areas, where climbing plants soften the walls and contribute to a naturally sheltered and peaceful environment. Set on a 4,093 sqm intravilan plot, the property brings together spaces suited both for residential living and complementary uses, including two rooms, a spacious living area, two kitchens and three bathrooms, complemented upstairs by an independent apartment comprising a living room, bedroom and private bathroom. The property also offers a restaurant, extending its potential toward hospitality activities or private events. A small cellar and a sauna further enhance the functionality and comfort of the property. The ensemble is further completed by a traditional barn and a workshop, offering flexibility for various activities or future conversion projects. The property is suitable both as a private residence or holiday home, as well as for conversion into a boutique hospitality unit, retreat, or space dedicated to private events. Grânari preserves the same Saxon traditions and fertile rolling landscapes that define southern Transylvania, while offering a level of privacy and authenticity that established destinations can no longer guarantee.

Located in the village of Văleni (Patakfalva), Harghita County, „Hubertus Lodge” is a rare property within Transylvania’s real estate landscape — an expansive private estate designed for nature-oriented living, discretion, and versatile use. The area is known for its unspoiled natural setting, deep rural quiet, and remarkable biodiversity, while still allowing relatively easy access to established destinations such as Sighișoara, Sovata, Corund, Praid Salt Mine, Saint Anne Lake, Red Lake, Zetea, Viscri, Rupea, and Brașov. The estate extends across approximately 10.9 hectares of land in Transylvania, combining intravilan and extravilan plots in a coherent layout suited both for private residential use and retreat or niche tourism concepts. The overall vision integrates modern comfort within an authentic natural framework, supported by architectural and functional elements inspired by Transylvanian tradition. On the intravilan land, exceeding 9,000 sqm, there are two modern lodge buildings and a traditional early-20th-century rural ensemble. The total built area is approximately 420 sqm, with spaces configured for permanent use and extended hosting. The main lodge is organized around a distinctive circular living room with a central fireplace, which defines the daytime area, complemented by a dining room, kitchen, and terrace. The sleeping area includes two en-suite bedrooms, while the attic can be extended to accommodate three additional rooms, one bathroom, and two further rooms, allowing for future development flexibility. Thermal comfort is ensured through radiator heating as well as underfloor heating in the main lodge, contributing to a balanced and consistent interior climate. The guest lodge operates independently and includes four en-suite bedrooms and a veranda, making it suitable for extended family, guests, or operation as a boutique lodge or retreat in Transylvania. The traditional rural compound adds a habitable house with two wood-stove-heated rooms, a barn, and a bread oven, preserving the authentic local character. The extravilan land, of approximately 10 hectares, consists of pasture and natural vegetation, providing openness and privacy. A dedicated wildlife observation cabin is positioned on this land — a rare feature suitable for wildlife watching and nature retreats. The region is recognized for frequent sightings of large fauna, including deer, boar, roe deer, and bear. In terms of comfort and technical features, the property is equipped with wood-fired central heating systems serving both lodges, providing radiator heating and hot water, supported by a boiler and a water softening system. The main lodge benefits from underfloor heating. The buildings were completed in 2008 and are offered fully furnished and equipped, including appliances, tableware, and textiles. Ambient lighting and selected materials create a warm, premium lodge atmosphere throughout. By scale, layout, and setting, the property is well suited as an extended private estate in Transylvania, as well as a boutique lodge, wildlife retreat, or premium tourism project, including themed retreats or limited corporate use. The configuration with independent buildings and extensive land supports flexible operation — private, mixed, or hospitality — and positions the estate as a solid niche investment opportunity within the Transylvanian market.

“When Ioan N. Roman with master Caragiale and Barbu Delavrancea emptied jars of amber Samos and Tenedos wine, in the small corner room at Hrisicos they modestly devised not only Romanian Poetry and Prose - but Romania itself...” - Constantin N. Sarry A landmark in the city’s history, Hrisicos House was built in 1900 to the plans of French architect Louis Givért. The building stands out through its eclectic style, dominated by neoclassical features with Art Nouveau details characteristic of the early 20th century. It served as a reference point for later developments in Ovidiu Square, designed mainly by architect Adolf Lintz in Viennese style. Hrisicos House is one of the oldest surviving buildings from the area’s original layout, marking the corner of Traian and Pescarilor Streets (the latter having since disappeared). Commissioned by Gheorghe Hrisicos, once a “simple shop boy” who quickly became a well-known wine merchant and central property owner, the house was inaugurated with great pomp in the autumn of 1903. Conceived as a luxury hotel, with a restaurant offering both seafood and international cuisine on the ground floor, it soon became a landmark of Constanța. Bucharest’s elites, accustomed to the “Carol” or “Regina” hotels, now flocked to “Hrisicos.” Yet the owner’s success was short-lived: sued by defrauded banks and merchants, he was branded by the press as “Constanța’s swindler banker.” Hrisicos fled to Russia, was extradited, and sentenced to two years in prison. The scandal and widely publicized trial gave Hrisicos House unmatched notoriety, while its restaurant and hotel were frequented by notable figures such as Ion Luca Caragiale, Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea, Alexandru Vlahuță, and Take Ionescu. The building was devastated during the First World War and reopened only in October 1924 as the headquarters of the Popular Bank Steagul Dobrogei. During the Second World War, it became the favored residence of German military commanders overseeing the city and coastal operations. Immediately after August 23, 1944, the balcony apartment was occupied by the Soviet military commander of Constanța. Under the communist regime, the property was nationalized, converted into a military barracks and command post, and, following major renovations in 1974, functioned as a restaurant, wine cellar, and guesthouse under the name “Pelican.” After the fall of communism, the building hosted various banks but suffered significant interior degradation. In 2006, it was purchased by its current owners, who initiated an extensive process of restoration and rehabilitation. It has since been converted into a modern high-end bistro and a four-star hotel with 23 rooms. Regaining the stature and function of its beginnings, Hrisicos House, which has retained its original name in collective memory despite all transformations, has once again become a vibrant symbol of Constanța, a silent witness to major secrets and political decisions of the turbulent 20th century.

At an altitude of 1,250 meters, on the largest inhabited mountain plateau in the Apuseni Mountains, on a south-facing slope in Mărișel, lies an exclusive ensemble of two holiday homes. Part of a thoughtfully planned development of six houses, the project is conceived as an authentic nature retreat while also representing a solid investment opportunity in premium mountain tourism. Located approximately 52 km from Cluj-Napoca, the property benefits from year-round accessibility, making it ideal for weekend escapes or extended stays—offering seclusion from urban life without sacrificing proximity to the city. Mărișel is known for its ski slopes and mountain trails, while the nearby Beliș Lake is a key regional attraction, offering opportunities for water activities, hiking, and scenic landscapes. The area is further distinguished by its well-preserved local traditions, including crafts and traditional vocal ensembles such as Junii Mărișelului, recognized as part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage. The project has been designed to ensure open views, privacy, and a strong connection to nature for each home, following the principles of traditional mountain rural architecture reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The properties are suitable both as private holiday residences and as tourism investments with reliable rental potential. The layout of the buildings and access infrastructure allows for year-round vehicular access without compromising the natural character of the site. The internal road connects directly to the county road, ensuring ease of access in all seasons. Each house is set on a 600 sq m plot and includes a 23 sq m covered terrace and a 32 sq m parking area, resulting in a total built area of 220 sq m. The generous terrace and landscaped courtyard are designed for year-round use. The home offers 125 sq m of usable interior space. The ground floor (59 sq m) comprises an en-suite bedroom, an open-plan living area with kitchen and dining space, a shared bathroom, and a technical room with exterior access. The attic level (66 sq m) includes three en-suite bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, where wood-clad ceilings and dormer windows frame forest views and fill the interiors with natural light. Internally, the properties are delivered with finished walls, allowing future owners full freedom to personalize the interior design according to personal preferences or investment strategy. Utilities include electrical installations completed according to the architectural project, underfloor heating powered by an air-to-water heat pump, water supply from a private drilled well, and full electrical connectivity. The structure is reinforced concrete, with brick masonry walls, while the high-quality joinery ensures effective thermal insulation and interior comfort. The wood-clad façades, standing-seam metal roofing, and carefully controlled proportions ensure a harmonious integration into the Apuseni landscape. These residences possess a clear architectural identity, equally suited for private use or premium hospitality purposes. The two houses may be acquired together or separately, depending on the buyer’s needs.

Discover a rare acquisition opportunity in one of the most picturesque and authentic villages of Maramureș — Poienile Izei, a place where tradition, landscape, and tranquility come together in perfect harmony. Set on an expansive 2.4-hectare landholding, this distinctive estate comprises three traditional wooden houses, each reflecting the vernacular architecture of Maramureș and preserving the spirit of rural life in its most genuine form. The ensemble offers both privacy and flexibility, making it equally suited for private use or a refined hospitality and retreat concept rooted in nature and tradition. The property enjoys sweeping panoramic views over rolling hills, open meadows, and surrounding forests, creating a profound sense of seclusion and calm. Silence, fresh air, and uninterrupted vistas define the atmosphere, offering an authentic escape from the pace of contemporary life. Poienile Izei is celebrated for its pristine landscapes, traditional pathways, and unspoiled rural character, a destination where nature and heritage coexist seamlessly. Located in a village renowned for its living traditions and cultural continuity, the property benefits from a setting of exceptional heritage value. Nearby stands the wooden church of Saint Paraskeva, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, emblematic of the region’s spiritual and architectural legacy. The local community continues to preserve customs, craftsmanship, and a way of life passed down through generations. The three wooden houses are thoughtfully positioned across the land, allowing for privacy while maintaining a coherent estate layout. The first house is a traditional single-level wooden dwelling with a built area of 42 square meters, offering an intimate and authentic living space. The second house features more generous proportions, with a built area of 105 square meters at ground level and an overall layout suited for extended family living or guest accommodation. The third house, constructed in 2000, is a multi-level wooden residence arranged over basement, ground floor, and attic, with a built area of 102 square meters at ground level. Its structure allows for flexible use, combining traditional materials with a more contemporary internal configuration. Together, the houses form a cohesive residential ensemble that can function as a private countryside estate, a boutique rural hospitality or agritourism project, or a balanced combination of owner and guest accommodation. The scale of the land, combined with direct access from a public road connecting to neighboring villages and regional routes, further enhances the property’s versatility and long-term value. Poienile Izei offers more than a property; it offers a way of life shaped by nature, rhythm, and tradition. From walks through alpine meadows and forest paths to immersion in Maramureș’s deeply rooted cultural customs, this estate is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and experience a rare form of rural authenticity in one of Romania’s most evocative regions.

Surrounded by abundant vegetation, the tower lifts its tiled roof to survey the distance. Times are quiet now, but at the end of the 18th century when it was built, Pazvantoglu, the pasa from Vidin known to the residents as Pazvante Chioru, used to raid the area. The Phanariot lordships did not have the ability to ensure the protection of the territories far from the capital, that is why the Oltenian boyars built forts, fortified houses meant to protect their wealth in case of attack. It is interesting to note the uniqueness of this type of construction, which was no longer built after 1821 because the attacks stopped after Tudor Vladimirescu's revolution, therefore their construction no longer made sense. The rarity makes the appearance of such a house on the real estate market an event, an opportunity. The word cula comes from the Turkish, where kule means tower, and names this type of one-story house that can be found here in the south of the country, but also south of the Danube, in Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia from North, Montenegro, Kosovo Region. The house of the Voiculescu family follows the classical architectural line, having compact, solid volumes, well placed on the ground, located in an isolated place, surrounded by countryside and peace, with good visibility over the area. With thick walls, internal stairs between floors, reinforced doors, hiding places, narrow windows and hatches, today the cule are private homes or appreciated and loved tourist units. The Brancoveneanu-inspired loggia is a wonderful place to avoid too hot summers, and the wine cellar has potential for winter shelter in front of a fireplace and mulled wine. Cula became the property of the current family in 1915, having been bought by Ion .V Voiculescu, landlord, son of the teacher Vasile Voiculescu and grandson of the peasant-deputy Ioan Voicu(lescu), who represented Gorj alongside the famous Gheorghe Magheru and Christian Tell (the historical moments were immortalized in Bucharest by the photographer Carol Popp de Szathmary - see photo). Although coming from a not very rich family, Ion V. Voiculescu still had some land that attracted the attention of the rebels during the 1907 peasant rebellion and later allowed himself to buy 250 ha from Dimitrie I. Mongescu. Cula is located on these newly acquired lands. The Mongescu family had close ties with Tudor Vladimirescu and the revolutionary movement led by him, one great-grandfather, Vasile Moanga (Mongescu), being a good friend of Tudor Vladimirescu and the treasurer of his revolutionary 1821 movement. History says that before reading the declaration in Pades, Tudor Vladimirescu and his people spent the night in the cula of Copaceni (the current Voiculescu cula in Cornesti), which at that time supposedly belonged to Barbu Viisoreanu, an influential administrator in the county and deputy of Gorj during the Organic Regulation. More recent history shows that Ion Voiculescu donated the house and the 10.5 ha that surrounded it to his son, Vasile Voiculescu, who later, in 1949, was forcibly removed from the house by communists in the middle of the night; his wealth was expropriated, the former nobleman receiving mandatory residence in a room in Targu Jiu and being forced to work as a porter in the city station, unloading freight wagons. The state neglected the cula; between 1947-1997 it was transformed into an I.A.S., with day laborers staying on the ground floor, chickens raised in the hallways and sheep sheltered in the attic in winter. The descendants of the boyar expropriated by the communists today own the building together with the 10.5 ha of land.

The complex developed on a surface of over 3 ha, part of the Frânculești Domain, is situated at 17 km from Ploiești, in a fairy tale landscape at the edge of the forest.

Among them, The Italian Chamber borrows the charm of Classic style through solid wood furniture, the precious Italian parquet and a neutral, soothing chromatic. The Oriental Chamber reinterprets a mysterious alcove through silk fabrics, brocade and precious accessories. Georgian and Victorian styles harmonize in a sophisticated design with a romantic, noble atmosphere. The view to the garden and the orchard creates a vibrant, ever-changing picture. Easily accessible from Bucharest, the location is ideal for weekend escapades or refreshing vacations. The proximity of the oak forest, the purity of the air, the tranquility, the dreamy landscapes, the bucolic atmosphere and the modern facilities are elements that are setting this property apart and make it suitable both for the purpose of tourism or for events, as well as for a private residence, a holiday home to escape to on weekends and holidays, away from the urban turmoil.

In the wide valley guarded by the vineyards, by the river Argeș and the river Doamnei, there is a historic house of over 150 years old and a newly built house in a park-like courtyard. The museum village was the hearth of the old Golescu family, close relatives of the Brătianu family (whose manor is less than 10 minutes away) who played an important role in the modern history of Romania, hosting over time multiple personalities including Tudor Vladimirescu by his army of panduri, Dr. Carol Davila and even Carol I. The property is located in this village, right next to Golescu Manor, borrowing from the former its charm. Golescu Manos was built in 1640 by Vişa of Golești and her husband, the boyar Stroe Leurdeanu. The holiday home is composed of two houses that bring together the important historical past of these places and the present with its comfort and benefits, the whole renovation process of the property being carried out by Moldovan craftsmen from Agapia. The property consists of a plot of 2,500 square meters and two houses: a former parish house dating from the late 19th century and a new holiday home, built in 2014. The new holiday home, built of traditionally made brick (burnt in the oven), has on the ground floor the technical room, the kitchen with a glass wall opening onto the terrace and garden, a bedroom and a spacious living room of 51 sqm. The living room has, as well, a direct opening to the covered terrace of 37 sqm which is delimited by seven pillars connected by arches, so specific to this area. The terracotta stove with fireplace and floral motifs gives the modern space a particular look. In the attic one can find three spacious and bright bedrooms and a generous hall that can play the role of living room for this floor, with an opening to a balcony of wrought iron and stone from which you can pick cherries directly from the old cherry tree guarding the entrance. The architecture, the finishes, the natural stone used in the decoration of the facades and terraces, the solid wood doors, all were designed in order to provide the maximum comfort, trying, at the same time, to keep the architectural specifics of the places. The old parish house, renovated in 2014, in which is kept as a testimony an original beam on which stands 1893 Priest Vasile Golesteanu, a priest who was one of the important ministers of the Golesti Church dedicated to the Holy Trinity and built by the same Visa and Stroe in 1646. The parish house, in which the original beams of whole oak bodies and the walls with river stone have been perfectly preserved, is renovated and ready to be used, without having a function at the moment. It could be arranged as a guest house or could even accommodate a traditional kitchen. The entire space is enchanting and you can enjoy an atmosphere of relaxation and joy in the middle of nature and a welcoming setting, with natural stone alleys bordered by firs, cedars and magnolias. There are a variety of fresh fruits in the orchard behind the house: walnuts (there are over 10 secular walnuts), cherries and sour cherries, or cherry plums and apples. The air is always clean and by going to the head of the village, you reach the valley of the river Argeș, where you can organize excellent fishing parties. All this is laid out before you, like a red carpet… So, step on your fingertips and let it lead you to the fairytale holiday home in Golești village.

In Comarnic, green is at home; thousands of trees stretch billions of leaves towards the sun and spread shade and coolness around. In one of the high areas, on a tongue of land drowned in greenery, there are two identical houses; the twin sister is positioned at the back, not at all invasive in terms of privacy. The villa for sale, a modern and discreet construction at first impression, reveals its true elegance only from the glass-enclosed terrace – soft textiles in sand colors announce the chromatics of the entire house, and the exposed brick, the fireplace, the shades of cement gray and the dark metal joinery complete the atmosphere of a space designed to relax without being boring. In addition, being equipped with the necessary for an al fresco dinner, the panorama is guaranteed to be admired in the evening, when the forest darkens in the colors of twilight. The interior of the ground floor (kitchen, dining room, living room, one bedroom, bathroom and terrace) exploits the difference in level in an intelligent way, obtaining a decorative and functional step between the open kitchen and the living room. With a fireplace and soft colors, the living room is comfortable but with a certain alert feeling - here time does not flow, does not pass but is lived, enjoyed. The same goes for the first floor, where there are three bedrooms carefully decorated, with soothing shades; a luxury hotel atmosphere prevails with rounded asperities and discreet, stylish, chromatically articulated bathrooms. The master bedroom has a bathroom, sauna and a small terrace with a view. The design project is made and implemented by Simetrica Design; the furniture and materials are premium, as are the electronic equipment. The house is perfectly functional, the heating is done through the floor throughout the house (gas central heating). It has air conditioning and all the facilities, plus a person from the area who takes care of daily maintenance (cleaning, mowing the lawn, changing bedding, washing, etc.) which makes it very attractive as an investment for the purpose of tourist exploitation (AirBnB). Comarnic, for many just a town on the way to the mountains, has recently become extremely attractive for those looking for a clean place not far from Bucharest. It entices with hot bread and bagels on the main street, but the real treasures are hidden - the Lespezi hermitage, a hermitage of monks from 1661 and painted by Parvu Mutu the Painter; the Saint Nicholas church is newer, only from 1905, but it boasts a magnificent icon donated by Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu and Martha Bibescu. The Posada Hunting Museum with its exhibits - animals, weapons, hunting trophies. The spectacular Doftana Valley is also just a stone's throw away, and the more popular mountain resorts are not much further away either. Out of a complex with four plots, the property owns three plots, two are available for construction.
