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).

Probably the most important private residence in Arad (if we exclude the palaces), Neuman House was the property of the most prestigious family in the history of the city. After the communists seized it, it became the Guest House of Arad county and was used as a protocol residence by the Ceaușescu family, including for official meetings between heads of state. Retroceded to the heirs in the 2000s, the imposing construction, today private property, is now ready to add new pages to its rich history. The Neuman House situated on Horia street is an architectural jewel that impressed over time many businessmen, artists or heads of state. The house discloses its secrets only for those who have the chance to cross its threshold: the street façade, with balanced proportions and mild decorative elements, does not offer any clue of the architectural exuberance that we find beyond the wooden gate that opens the way into the inner courtyard. Once inside, one understands the large dimensions of the U-shaped building, with the main façade marked by a grand neoclassical entrance, with a fronton and four columns. The interior retains the pomp of the last century: brightly colored stained glass windows, elaborately painted, wood carvings, wire stuccoes, fireplaces and many other decorative elements. The inscription on the façade indicates the years of the construction, 1925-1926. Arad benefited enormously from the rise and consolidation of the Neuman empire, the industrialist family being the largest tax payers for local budgets. Alfred's son, Francisc, was born in Arad in 1910. In 1935 his brother, Eduard, who ran the Yeast and Alcohol Factory, emigrated to Cuba, so Francisc took over all the family's business, at the age of only 25. The Baron increased the family's wealth, but was also the helpless witness of its loss, in 1948, during nationalization. He left to Switzerland without any money, from there to Salzburg and afterwards, to the USA. All the members of the family showed a real social involvement and solidarity, providing support through their charitable foundations. They showed increased care for their employees and contributed to improving the lives of the inhabitants. The Neuman family financially supported the construction of the imposing Cultural Palace inaugurated in 1913 and other palaces, exquisite jewels of the center of Arad. Today, their name is a true legend, not only in Arad, but throughout the entire Western part of the country. The Neuman House from Horia street fully reflects the grandeur of the famous family, being built with elements of neoclassical architecture and a ground floor rich in decorations, extremely exuberant, preserving today many of the original elements. The current owner has carried out a series of renovation and consolidation works (deepening and basement insulation, attic elevation, repairing the façade etc.). The house benefits from a project of complete remodeling and transformation of the building into a hotel with 23 rooms / 4 apartments / restaurant and SPA. The location of the building is ideal for a hotel - in the center of Arad, opposite the Szantay Palace. Additionally, the generous indoor courtyard can be converted into a summer garden.

The penthouses offer you a unique experience, characterized by sublime comfort and elegance. The abundance of light energizes residents and creates a gorgeous environment, ideal for relaxation. Exceptional interior finishes integrate textures and colors designed to create a welcoming ambiance for both residents and guests. Carefully selected prints break the monotony of solid and contrast-less colors, thus transforming a seemingly minimalist residence into a home that is in full harmony with your personality and in perfect accordance with the imposing terraces of the building. 118 Penthouse is a very special one, probably the most exclusive one in Timisoara. With a total usable area of 129 sqm, split into 4 large rooms, the penthouse offers a 179 sqm terrace with plenty of green areas and un unbeatable view of the City.

We associate Timișoara, and the entire west of the country, with the Habsburg or Austro-Hungarian empire, that is, with the West forgetting that another empire, the Ottoman, occupied the city for 164 years from the 16th century until 1716, when Eugeniu de Savoy recaptured the city. Legend has it that an axle of his chariot was integrated into a later majestic building (it appears in city plans in 1836). In reality it seems that the shaft belonged rather to a heavy artillery piece. Its insertion in the corner of the building has significance not only in symbolic terms; the building being one of the most famous in the city and its restoration was greeted with enthusiasm by the residents. Located on the space once occupied by the Round Tower of the bastion, used as a powder room until 1756 when it was demolished, the house already had the eastern body built in 1836-1836, the one facing Dr. I.C Brătianu Square (architect Anton Schmidt) as well as on the western one, which has two floors with a facade facing the side of Țepeș Vodă Square. In the period 1863–1864, marked by famine, local good Samaritans organized a social canteen in it. The House with the Iron Axis today has the bodies thoroughly rehabilitated, restored and transformed from homes into office spaces. New access roads, attic areas and re-compartmentalization suitable for modern use were made - office hub with mixed functions: law offices, insurance companies, marketing, dental clinics and IT companies. The classicist style, with neo-Romanesque elements, gives distinction to the building even today. Class B historical monument, prestigious for its age, story, address and restoration. The house with an iron shaft is 80% rented, which positions it as an excellent investment opportunity.

The first word that would likely come to mind upon seeing this apartment is ‘ masculine ’ ; however, as with any hasty thought, the assessment would be incomplete. Yes, it is in the industrial style, whose goal is to eliminate the hustle, stress, and impulses that disrupt balance – home should be the oasis that takes away stress right from the entrance. Thus, its shades of gray-blue are softened by the beige, café au lait, and butter tones of the parquet, while stronger, livelier color accents are carefully negotiated in the art that sweetens the walls. The living area is generous in both size and purpose – living, dining, and open kitchen. The sleeping area offers two bedrooms that know how to rest the eyes and body. The residence provides a neutrality, transparency, and tranquility that can be appreciated by both the owner and temporary residents, especially if the apartment is managed in a hotel-like system (it also helps that it is equipped with a smart home living system). The residential development , located in the city center, offers an inner courtyard with a modern gym and a wonderful rooftop; its apartments are furnished and equipped and can be purchased as a package for investment purposes.

As you cross the bridge from the old Citadel, on the border between the old Iosefin and Elisabetin neighborhoods, i.e. on the current 16 Decembrie Boulevard, once called Petrovaradin, the gaze rises in amazement to encompass the Franz Marschall palace – a spectacular stone canvas on which master hands carved rich decorations. Being part of the Citadel's esplanade, this area could only be developed after 1892, when the town planning plans accepted the expansion of the city and the construction of buildings. It is the time when the architect Martin Gemeinhardt designs beautiful buildings in the styles of the era - Secession and Art Nouveau. Participant in the First World War, politically active and entrepreneur (co-owner of a brick factory), therefore perfectly integrated in the realities of life, Martin Gemeinhardt obtained certification as a construction engineer in 1902 and used his skills to compensate for the everyday gray endowing of the city with fabulously decorated buildings. Generous with vegetal, zoomorphic and figurative motifs, h designed the palaces of Jakab Csendes, Ferencz Marshall, Johan Harlauer (House with Peacocks and Owls), Romulus Nicolin House, Timișoara Savings House Palace, Károly (Karl) Weisz Palace (former Royal Hotel) and Salamon Schnürer and Adolf Hanecker Palace. Their façades, elaborate, elegant and with life pulsating in them, captured the attention of his fellow citizens, who welcomed them with joy and with inaugurations mentioned by the newspapers of the time. As the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th bring the finalization of the boulevard 16 Decembrie, the area has a unity and a symmetry that adds to the monumentality of the buildings. The façades are richly decorated, the roofs are high and at the corners the architects went for towers or aedicula. Thus, the Franz Marschall palace is framed in continuous street fronts formed by buildings of the same style and height regime, arranged on the ground floor and two floors; as a rule, the owner lived in the front part, the rest of the apartments being rented out to those who wished.

The air of the style that flourished in Europe from the beginning of the 17th century, the Baroque, reaches the premium properties of Timișoara. This penthouse offers a magnific view, and with the 2 levels of over 280 square meters equipped with spacious terraces, the property combines the classic interior with the modernity of the city from the outside. With generous rooms, fully marble bathrooms with the highest quality marble: carara, porto nerro, dorato and marquisa and the fact that the penthouse is generally wrapped in many golden-painted profiles, this penthouse is ideal for a tasteful family. Being so impressive for its grandeur and finishes, it can be implemented as an full time apartment - hotel or only when the owner is on a trip or vacation, at will.

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.

When the passion for restoring and for harnessing the value of what is authentic and antique meets the the more than a century old legacy left over the years by the former Swabians, then everything can turn into an absolutely unique experience. The Swabian House or Schwabenhaus is a place you should not miss if you arrive in the west of the country. Either because you want to make a stop for resting your mind but also to indulge your soul, or because you want to taste some of the dishes for which the people of Timisoara come here regularly, or even just to see what an old Swabian building looks like. Moreover, when it comes to a house restored with great care and skill and happily enriched with collections of art and handcraft objects, which today turn it into a small museum with so many interesting things to see. The property is located in Șandra, in the middle of the Banat Plain, 34 km from Timișoara, 32 km from the border with Serbia and 36 km from the border with Hungary. Șandra has been first time documented in 1833 under the name of Alexandria after the bishop of Zagreb who owned large areas of land here. The bishop is the one who signed the agreement by which a number of 140 families, no less than 700 German settlers remained here and practically established the settlement that would bear his name. Today, Schwabenhaus practically refers to a land with an area of 4,316 square meters with completely renovated old buildings which received a new life becoming a tourist destination. New amenities, which offer all the comfort and facilities you can think of are waiting here. Thus, immediately upon entering the courtyard we find the main building, which offers 9 rooms and a large space in the attic where conferences or events can be organized. Also, here, in the salon that marks the main entrance, there is probably one of the largest collections of cuckoo clocks in Europe, with extremely valuable samples. Next to it, we find a restaurant on two levels, arranged in accordance with the spirit of the place, maintaining its charm, and enriched with valuable and charming collections of musical objects and handicrafts products. The beautifully arranged courtyard leads us to the third building, which has a mixed function. Most part of the ground floor comprises a bar that immediately invites you to enjoy a pint of house beer, either in the classic Bavarian interior or on the romantic terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. Apart from this, in the same building, there are 5 bedrooms, and an administrative area, with an office, a laundry room and a technical room. The last building is newly built, but it integrates perfectly into the landscape, being designed after the plans of the former Swabian huts. The building has a wine cellar on the ground floor and an open terrace upstairs with a beautiful view of the entire complex. The courtyard is landscaped with stone, plants and shrubs, and you can notice the great attention and the care to the smallest details and the passion for perfection. The ultimate place to relax will of course be the swimming pool, located in the sunny area of the courtyard and with easy access to the bar, but also to the accommodation areas. “Schwabenhaus” means a place where nothing has been left to chance, where the so-called German rigor can be seen in every detail of the property, starting from the quality of the renovation to the particulars of the decoration. It is a place where history seeks a new beginning.

That is why, investing in a property that works as a business rated with a score of 9.7 on Booking.com, can be a wise decision.

A holiday cottage peeks its attic over a gleaming new fence. Both it and the fencing of the 10,000+ square meters of land are new, durable and sustainable constructions – stone and wood harmoniously complementing the green grass. With a living room, bathroom and kitchen on the ground floor and three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, the house is suitable for family holidays, the generous terrace, sheltered from the elements by the protective sloping roof, is the perfect place to enjoy the fresh air. The view is wonderful with wooded hills and deep valleys and the mountains in sight. The quaint old barn can be converted into a summer kitchen, storage space or even a rustic guest room. The property is located in the Piatra Craiului Mountains, near Suncuiuș, a place offering rafting activities on the Crișul Repede or via ferrata, visiting the Vântului cave (the longest in Romania), the Unguru Mare cave, the Bătrânului cave, Cotuna de Sus and Cotuna de Jos. In the summer, an attraction hard to resist is the spectacular landscaped beach at Suncuiuș. photo Tudor Prisecaru
