The Ceahlău Massif, referred to by Dimitrie Cantemir as the “jewel” of Moldova, is arguably the mountain that has most captivated the eyes and imagination of people. Each unique and spectacular location within this massif has its own legend, and the area is renowned for the richness and diversity of its landscapes, ranging from snow-capped peaks to majestic waterfalls and dense forests. At the foothills of the massif, near the Durău resort, a true retreat has been established. The complex's location is truly privileged, situated right in the heart of the Ceahlău National Park and only 500 meters from Lake Bicaz – itself designated as a natural aquatic reserve. Spanning nearly 2 hectares, the complex blends seamlessly into the landscape, complementing the “natural” offering with multiple modern functionalities. The heart of the retreat – its modern buildings and facilities – is shielded by a wooded area, an integral part of the property. It is the ideal place for solitary walks or picnics, longer rests, or group activities in the spaces arranged right in the midst of nature. The built area maintains natural touches: stone-paved alleys, rustic wooden accents in the construction of the spacious gazebo, and an architecture characterized by simple and clean lines. These are complemented by indispensable modern relaxation amenities: a tennis court, indoor pool, and sauna. The complex comprises two villas with a combined usable area of approximately 1,800 square meters. The first villa spans multiple levels, with the basement and ground floor designed as social spaces: a restaurant, bar, and wine cellar. The two upper floors and attic house 16 rooms, all with impressive views. The second, smaller villa has 9 rooms, with the covered pool and sauna located on the ground floor. Beyond the relaxation options and modern amenities, the location is a significant advantage of the property. It is situated along numerous mountain hiking trails leading to the Ocolașul Mare, Toaca peaks, or Duruitoarea Waterfall, and is very close to the ski slopes in Durău.

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. Sibiu International Airport is located 159 km away, and Sarmizegetusa Regia, Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, Huniazilor Castle and Deva Citadel are also close by. In addition, it is the perfect destination for winter sports and summer hiking. The Alpina Retezat resort, located in Râu de mori, has 90 accommodation places and all the necessary facilities – restaurants, garden, terrace, bar and private parking. The rooms are spacious and bright and, if desired, the entire hotel allows for a reconceptualization that further exploits the advantages of the location, highly appreciated by children's camps for its close proximity to the ski slopes in Râușor equipped with ski lifts, as well as for the adventure park nearby - the fir trees of the small resort are welcoming hosts, among their branches passing suspended trails that offer many challenges to the daring.

Dacia Boulevard was the last boulevard designed before the First World War, during the mayor Vintilă Brătianu. The new boulevard, as it was originally called, was designed to create an important connection between Gara de Nord and Gara Obor. Being a designed boulevard, it had to make its way through the old districts of Bucharest, around the current Spanish Market Square, to the confluence with Mihai Eminescu Street and Calea Moșilor. Mihai Eminescu Street, called Romană Street until 1948, is a historic street in Bucharest that connected the Herăstrăului Street, the current Calea Dorobanţilor, with the Târgului de Afară Bridge, today Calea Moșilor. A short distance from the confluence of Dacia Boulevard with Mihai Eminescu Street, in the former Silvestru slum, this historic four-level villa with rooms over 3.5 m high, arranged on Bs + Gf + 1F + A, was founded at the beginning of the 20th century, made in a neoclassical style, typical of the beginning of the century, at the command of General Coandă, former prime minister in the interwar period. The house integrates very well in the architectural style of the area, next to the twin house in the immediate vicinity. Being built on the corner, it has the advantage of a panoramic opening to two streets. The building escaped nationalization, remaining in the family by succession, this advantage helping it to keep all the original architectural details. Then, in 2010, it underwent an extensive consolidation and restoration action, on which occasion it benefited from increased attention to the strengthening of the foundation, but also to a series of very practical finishes and equipment with quality materials. In addition to the impeccable restoration of parquet, solid wood joinery, wooden doors with glass windows, it now also benefits from a central heating system with gas boiler and fan coils in each room, chiller unit for air conditioning and fan coils in each room, chandeliers and vintage lighting lamps, time-specific switches for lighting fixtures. In addition, at the time of the renovation, investment was made in the construction of a tower in the attic, which became an important attraction of the house. He also received a glass art staircase with wrought iron floral elements, which provides access to the upper levels, designed and executed by the famous plastic designer Cornelia Moldoveanu. The exterior, thermally rehabilitated by complete cladding with Austro-therm rigid terrestrial system, is symmetrically decorated with friezes and laurel window frames without an exaggerated load. The predominant floral tones continue in the interior starting with the double entrance door, restored, glazed with flowers, with the marble floor decorated with floral elements framed by the line of life, above which is a skylight with floral stained glass and a Viennese ceramic stove white located in the living room. This house welcomes you inside with an enviable positive energy, offering the pleasure of going through a setting designed to fascinate you from the first step. It may have multiple destinations in the future, such as residence, company headquarters, notary or law firm. The villa is also available for rent at the price of 4,000 euros/month.

For passers-by, whether villagers or visitors, this is a proud household, beautifully renovated and respectful of the past and tradition - with a shingled roof, a porch made of intricately carved burned wood, and a fence, like all Maramures fences, protected from rain and bad weather; moreover, a formidable oven is ready to bake bread and pies in a well-equipped gazebo.For those who will inhabit it, the property elegantly blends tradition with the new; warm wood completely covers the attic on the walls, floor, and ceiling, making way for a minimalism that reaches its peak in the bathroom, where the tub overlooks the road that separates the greenery in two. The living room on the ground floor, however, retains the colours of childhood at grandma's - with walls painted with a roller and border with small and cheerful flowers; the benches and the green buffet, as generous as grandma's arms, blend well with the fireplace placed in the corner. The atmosphere is rich in contrast with the minimalism of the upper floor, but both are soothing, nurturing. From the hallway of the house, you enter two apartments, each having a room on the ground floor and one on the upper floor, a bathroom, and a small space, a niche for playing/reading. On the ground floor, there is a shared bathroom, and in the basement, there is a cellar. The attic has been raised by 50 cm to accommodate the rooms. The Velux windows are large to ensure natural light, and the small balcony is sufficient to allow for terrace furniture.A second gazebo is arranged along the property line; nearby are the wooden tub and an old stable, with the roof rebuilt over the three rooms in which traditional old objects are currently exhibited. There are three parking spaces on the property, but two more cars can be parked nearby. The property is connected to electricity, has a 5kw photovoltaic system installed, water is taken from the public network and from its own wells, one traditional and one utility, and there is a septic tank in the courtyard. ,photo Florin Pepene

Breaza was always a preferred weekend and vacation destination for people in Bucharest especially. The main advantages being the well known fresh air, beautiful nature with plenty of hiking options, so many attractions in the vicinity and also the easy access even during the weekends when the rest of Prahova Valley are a lot harder to reach. If Breaza is usually a place where one can find newer vacation homes, on one of the streets that meandres up the hill, we have the surprise to find a real architectural old gem , hidden behind the tall trees in front. The mansion clearly shows the signs of age, but this did not erase its beautiful features: the special structure with a small side on the front corner, the three-way arches across the entire terrace, the beautiful pillars and also the corner tower catch the eye even today. Built to offer all the luxury and confort of life in Breaza of its time, the mansion can be renovated and turned inti s very special second home. With a land plot of 1,880 sqm, the mansion has a total built area of 488 sqm, on two levels. From a structure point of view, the building looks good, the rooms are generally also in a good shape with the exception of the back area where a hole in the roof, now repaired, created some damage in that specific part of the house. Although generally in a good shape, the building will of course need a general renovation to really shed light on its beautiful architectural features. Separately from the main building, we can find a nice stone cellar that can be turned into a small wine cellar , and also a 40 sqm annex building that can be turned into usable space at will of the new owner. Easily accessible and very well located, the mansion can be turned into a really charming vacation residence.

The development of the Viforâta village is closely linked to the construction of the Viforâta Monastery, 5 km North of Târgoviște City. According to official records, Voda Vlad V founded the monastery about 500 years ago (1530), and the process was repeated a century later by Matei Basarab. Over time, the small village established at the foot of the monastery, towards Târgoviște, developed the textile craft tradition, and started attracting a large number of high-profile members of the Romanian cultural scene with its undeniably picturesque qualities. The Dărăscu-Enigărescu Castle was built on top of a hill northwest of Târgoviște, and the access road to the Viforâta monastery was completed on the command of the Dărăscu family in 1910, 20 years after the construction began. With a blurred history, the property would escape nationalization, even though, at some point, it did serve as the headquarters of the local Agricultural Production Cooperative. Afterwards, between 1975 and 1977, it was owned by Octav Enigărescu. A man of vast culture, baritone, radio man, actor, music professor and director of the Bucharest Opera (1969-1971), Octav Enigărescu immediately appreciated the architectural qualities of the small castle. Based on a terraced structure, the construction has two levels, and a high basement that covers the entire footprint of the building. The focus of the residence is indisputably the shape of its central tower, reminiscent of the medieval keep typology, the circular shape of which also influences the structure of the rooms. The building was strengthened by the Enigărescu family, who took care of the maintenance of the castle and reinforced the structure with steel beams in 1988.

Built by Italian stonemasons following the plans of three architects (George Sterian, H. Rick and Nicolae Ghica-Budești), the casino was erected in 1892-1894, thus being the first casino in Romania. It was quickly followed by casinos in Vatra Dornei (1898), Constanța (1910) and Sinaia (1912), all part of King Carol I's strategy to develop Romanian resorts after the model of more famous ones abroad (Slănic-Moldova was compared at the time to Karlovy Vary and Vichy, its mineral springs being awarded at international exhibitions in Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna). Although it is not an example of pure Art Nouveau, the casino in Slănic-Moldova manages to combine this dynamic and functional style with principles from other currents with surprising results. The decorative stone elements and the door and window frames come from the secular Neo-Romanian, but the towers are of Eastern religious architecture. Other elements are reminiscent of Neo-Renaissance correspondences - for example the symmetry of the composition and the painted decorative panels. The construction is arranged horizontally on UG + GF + 1F following the rules of perfect symmetry - a main building guarded by two towers connected to two other lower-rise buildings with covered corridors that function as terraces; the long row finishes with two pavilions that resume through the round roofs the idea of the main towers. Seen from a distance, the casino resembles a castle perched on a hillside, a slightly romantic, peaceful profile, with a discreet poetry enveloping it at dusk. In autumn, the forest in the distance lends it a bit of its leave’s auburne, winter dresses it all in white. However, from the front, it is obviously a building dedicated to community life - the platform with arched columns and a monumental stone staircase leaves no room for doubt, just as its location with the beautiful central park at the foot does not deny this either. After decades of listening to the sound of dice, spinning roulette and French Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus, witnessing the making of fortunes and the dissolution of marriages, the casino became a good citizen in 1948, functioning as a House of Culture, then performance hall, city library, art gallery and other public functions. The cinema functioned in the original hall with 350 seats, which today amazes us with its two colors - the white of the walls decorated with ton sur ton woodwork and the amber of the velvety chairs and curtains. The hall is still a jewel with its shell-based lodges, lacy arches and a chandelier, unfortunately not the original one, mounted on a rich ceiling decorated with a glass skylight captive in metal embroidery. Over time, the building has received two more terraces, a brasserie and a boarding house since 1960, and has undergone renovation and restoration work in the 1980s and 1994s and 1994s. Outside, street lamps guard the building in the typical Art Nouveau language - black wrought iron with gold accents and white glass bulbs like flower buds. Thanks to the spectacular architectural project and restoration works, the casino appears today vibrant, lively, dynamic, bold and not old or lethargic like, unfortunately, many other historical monuments of the time. Today, the casino is looking for its visionary owner who will exploit its tourist potential and give it back that joie de vivre that positioned it at the beginning of the 19th century as a symbol of Slănic-Moldova and beyond.

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. Featuring an imposing tower guarding the corner and elegantly outlined blue frames against the bright white façade the has distinction. Built in 1881, it wears its age gracefully, having been recently renovated.

The fireplace stove warms a 40 sqm living room. The vaulted cellar with a brick floor, maintaining controlled temperature, is the perfect place for a private wine cellar, while the garden with lawn and fruit trees is the ideal option for peaceful afternoons. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the pavilion, where hearty meals can also be organized for loved ones, in its 9 sqm summer kitchen with a bread & pizza oven. The garage accommodates two cars. The town of Dumbrăveni, one of the ten royal free cities, enjoys the benefits of multiculturalism, with Romanians, Hungarians, Jews, Saxons, and Armenians living in and beautifying it. In the 16th century, Grigore Apafi built the feudal castle in the form of a citadel, which now operates as the Museum of Transylvanian Armenians, and the Armenian community erected a cathedral here in the 18th century. Dumbrăveni is situated between Sighișoara and Mediaș, having touristic Biertan, Viscri, and Via Transilvanica in close proximity. photo Florin Pepene

Captured in a photograph with the sun behind it, illuminating and hiding it from view at the same time, the Nagy mansion seems to have the power to transport its guest back to the 19th century, just as Gil, played by Owen Wilson, returned to the 1920s in the film Midnight in Paris, directed by Woody Allen in 2011. The idea of traveling back in time is often used in the description of properties and therefore subject to demonetization; in the case of the Nagy mansion, it stands in certain rooms where the past comes to life through a special stove, through pieces of solid wood furniture carefully crafted and polished by time such as the two sumptuous original Saxon beds. The mansion, built in 1802 by the Hungarian noble family Nagy, today completely renovated and brought up to modern living standards, preserves original architectural details, despite its troubled history - in 1992, when the property was reacquired, it no longer had doors or windows; after the nationalization in 1949 it was used by the local IAS including to house day laborers. The story goes that Szotyori Nagy Tamásné, mistress of the manor in the middle of the 19th century, was a fearless woman who not only went to the front to look for her hero son, but offered shelter to the persecuted and, after the revolution was crushed, sent parcels to those incarcerated. In 1884, during the election campaign, in the building that later became a granary, the owner of the place hosted the well-known writer Jókai Mór. Today, the entrance through the wide gate shows a circle of flowers whose role, in addition to the decorative one, is to guide today's horse-drawn carriages to the entrance of the building. With a decent exterior and a small portico the mansion consists of a spacious ground floor and a generous attic dominated by the protective red roof over them; the two windows placed above the entrance, on the left and right are known as the queen's eyes, belonging to the most desirable room in the building. The mansion functions today as a guesthouse and has 3 rooms with matrimonial beds and 4 double rooms, all with their own bathroom. The dining room can accommodate 70 people and the old cellar is now a wine cellar, keeping visible both parts of the original foundation wall and the old roof tiles reused as flooring. The sauna, the salt room and other ways to spend quality time complete the generous offer of the outside – walks through the silence of wheat fields and potato crops or visiting the Balvanyos baths, the Cheile Varghisului nature reserve, the birch forest in Reci, the Kalnoky castle and the Zabola domain (Covasna being also known as the Land of Manors). The town of Coșeni is 13km from Prejmer, 19km from Harman and 28km from the center of Brașov. photo Florin Pepene

Seen from above, the landscape looks like a lot of green dotted with only three parallel roads intersected by two others, all at a great distance from each other. Between them there is only vegetation, and on closer inspection, one area catches the eye with the symmetry of rows of vines neatly aligned in parallel rows. A small orchard separates the vineyard from the winery. On the ground, access to the property is through the red brick pillars of the gate; looking to the right - a house with the personality of the old and undefeated ones; looking ahead there’s the vineyard in all its splendor - there are 3.13 hectares in the heart of the D.O.C. wine area Miniș/ Crișana. Cabernet Sauvignon is grown here in a sustainable viticulture system (the organic certification process of the plantation and the wine started in 2022). The grapes are vinified as mono-cultivar and the winery owns vintages over ten years old from grapes harvested from 35-50 year old vines. Wine has been made in Birăuaș since 1801, at that time under the name Domeniile Josef Domany, official supplier of the Imperial Court in Vienna which acquired this status of K.U.K. Hoflieferant in 1899 in Vienna. Active since 2002, the property owns the most valuable part of these former estates, three cellars and part of the former wine estate. The vine takes over the domain not only in the places assigned to it, but also around the corners of the house, hugging old wooden shutters, winding up to the eaves. Along with the dwarf stone fences that separate the areas and the wooden posts that support the heavy red tile roofs, the wind blowing through the heavy bunches tells the story of a life fulfilled by passion and work in nature. The wines from Miniș were awarded in London (1862, 1876) and Budapest (1875, 1884) and have not lost their value even today, receiving awards and an average rating of 3.8/5 on Vivino. They have aging potential as they are aged in French oak barrels; the sales package includes approximately 40,000 bottles of stock premium bottled wine. In addition to the winery and the necessary wine equipment on the property there is also a mini-distillery (column distillation boiler with Christian Carl plates) making high-quality distilled products from wine and pomace (Grappa) and a special fortified wine (vin de walnuts).

Imagine a weekend getaway at home, in Poiana Brașov. It starts with morning light being lazily filtered through the eyelashes; the bedrooms’ walls are covered with wood which makes the light look like liquid honey. Breakfast is served in the summer on the generous balcony that surrounds the house - the coffee enhances the visual acuity and the mountains in front are distinguished in dozens of shades and hues of bright green. A few poppy and vanilla croissants from a good bakery put the smile in its place even in winter, when the fire keeps the cold away but not the thrill - Poiana Brașov is the best destination for snow sports. The resort is located at the foot of Postavarul at an altitude of 1030m and evokes hiking in the mountains in the cool of summer, the dizzying brass of autumn leaves and the squeaking of snow under boots in winter. It is certainly the place where concepts such as burnout vanish in thin air. Active rest in the strong ozone-rich air has therapeutic effects even when walking means simply foraging for mushrooms or blackberries in the forest, having a picnic in the pasture or reading on a meadow. The mountain routes Cristianul Mare and Pietrele lui Solomon start right from Poiana Brașov; however, the cable car and the ski lift allow you to enjoy the landscapes with minimal effort. Poiana means not only natural areas but also modern infrastructure suitable for the expectations of today’s tourist - being a premium destination the resort enjoys a vibrant life in its restaurants, hotels with heated pools and attractive clubs, in addition to options such as a horse riding center and a tourist sheepfold. Poiana Brașov manages to effortlessly keep its image as the most famous, attractive and envied mountain holiday location in the country. After a full day on one or more of the nine slopes (skiing is officially documented here since 1895) the sight of the silver fir trees guarding the entrance to the house is a joy to the eye and the promise of total relaxation in the sauna. The fire is burning in the fireplaces, the tea is bubbling in the samovar and friends are starting to gather at a long table that promises a memorable conviviality. The property is a redefinition of luxury in mountain terms, in which natural materials such as wood, stone, wool and fur invite nature inside and create a calm hunting cottage-like atmosphere.The house is well integrated in the landscape, both chromatically and volumetrically. Its garden’s perimeter is smartly demarcated by high vegetation thus obtaining a soothing view for the eyes but also intimacy. In addition, the property is located in a low-density area which offers a low level of visual and auditory stress. The five en suite bedrooms make it suitable for an extended family or groups, with a usable built area of 600 square meters (ten rooms in total) providing space and privacy for everyone. The house was built in 2008 and the interior design easily allows for re-decoration that gives a more personal touch. The property can be used as a holiday home but also as a long-term refuge, away from the noisy city, dusty to the point of dehydration in summer or dominated by mud and concrete in winter. Things to do in the area: • Local gastronomy - try the ischler, a cookie with walnuts and chocolate, available in countless variants proposed by Brasov restaurants. • The medieval fortress of Râșnov, one of the best preserved and restored peasant fortresses in Transylvania. It was here that famous movie scenes were shot (The Immortals”, Dacii, Mihai Viteazul, or Columna but also Oscar-winner “Cold Mountain, starring Jude Law and Nicole Kidman). • Prejmer Fortified Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 700 years old, the first line of defence against the attacks of the Turks coming through the Buzău Pass (don't miss the organ of death). Bonus - go before Lent to enjoy fasching, the pancake festival specific to this village. Photo & video: Tudor Prisecaru

Built a short distance from the Royal Palace and the Romanian Athenaeum, in the center of Little Paris, the house of doctor Iosif Patzelt, former primary doctor of the Saint Ana Hospital, is one of the architectural jewels that keep in our memory the beauty of the historical buildings of pre-war Bucharest. Over the years, among the owners of the house were public figures from that period, such as General Vasile Zottu and the scientist Alexandru C. Mironescu, so that later it became the property of the Saint Mary's Institute, serving as an auxiliary body of the pensioner of girls (1936). Adorned with coats of arms, frames and floral friezes on the outside, the house still exudes the perfume of the period. With a constructed area of 843 square meters, the building has a basement, ground floor, first floor and attic, it has 23 rooms, 7 bathrooms and various storage spaces. It was designed to serve as a residence but can be re-compartmentalized for various future business destinations. Photo: Gabriel Ghizdavu
