In the long history of the Leordeni, a village which was first documented in 18th of May 1526 by the voievode (local prince) Radu de la Afumaţi, we can find extraordinary specificities from the evolution of the Romanian society along the great noble families which shaped it. Leordeni, cornerstone of important dynasties – Leurdenii, Băleanu, Golescu, Lahovary or Kretzulescu – was home to imposing residences and domains corresponding to the great power and reputation of their owners. One of the last great lords in Leordeni was Nicolae Kretzulescu (Crețulescu) (1812-1900) founding father of the Romanian Academy and a stated liberal appointed Prime Minister three times. Nicolae Kretzulescu, Constantin Brâncoveanu and Iordache Kretzulescu’s heir of Leordeni, built an impressive estate which later has been inherited by his daughter, Anna, who married Lahovary. At the same time Kretzulescu was managing his estates, Nicolae (Nae) Gussi (1830-1901), appeared on the scenery as administrator of the Golescu family’s fortune – another great family in Leordeni. After 1880, Gussi becomes the owner of the Golescu estates which were neighbouring those belonging to the Prime Minister. The hostility between Kretzulescu and Gussi was notorious, and the economic struggles between them both culminated in a series of lawsuits at the end of the nineteenth century. The variety of lands (arable, vineyards, forests) defining the estates of the Leordeni would evolve over time through various agrarian reforms, landing or expropriation laws, inheritances, or successions. And in the interwar period these testified the last two great families. The Gussi family (Alexandru, Traian, Paul and Elena) and the Lahovary family (through Anna) held together approximately 550 ha, plus another 100 ha of vineyards. They were in fact the descendants of Nicholas Kretzulescu and Nae Gussi. The Golescu-Gussi estate evolved notably through the two centuries of history. The first version of the manor was built by the Golescu family, probably during the life of Iordache Golescu, who also built the Golescu Church in the proximity of the estate. Subsequently, after Nicolae Gussi’s ownership, the property changed, so that after 1900, Alexandru Gussi (1864-1947) revolutionized the manor and the entire estate. In fact, Alexandru, a magistrate and a politician with an important activity in the Muscel Bar and Prefecture, would devote much of his career and life to the modernization of his native lands. Owning the old house of the Golesti, Alexander rebuilt it between 1938-1939, making it a truly monumental construction. After 1949, the entire domain was nationalized and had different functionalities serving the communist institutions (the office of Sovrom Petrol, IAS and the City Hall).

A privileged region of Romania, home to some of the country’s most important historical, cultural, and aristocratic landmarks, Argeș still preserves the rare charm of old noble estates, where the aura of a bygone aristocratic world continues to endure with elegance and discretion. Among the rolling hills, orchards, and forests of this history-rich region, in Călinești, stands a Neo-Romanian manor that still evokes the refinement of an era when architecture was built to last, and residences were defined by identity, character, and prestige. Set on a generous 9,438 sqm plot, the property impresses from the very first glance through its noble and perfectly balanced presence. The Neo-Romanian architecture, with elegant arches, sculpted columns, and harmonious proportions, remains to this day a tribute to the aristocratic estates of the past, giving the domain a timeless appearance that is difficult to replicate today. The manor features a 378 sqm footprint and is arranged over Basement + Ground Floor + First Floor, each space having a clearly defined role within the residential concept of its era. Brought into the present day, the interior still preserves the warm and distinguished atmosphere of an authentic noble residence. The classic solid wood furniture, natural textures, light filtered through large windows, and generous volumes create an elegant and welcoming ambiance, where every room seems to tell a story. The ground floor is primarily dedicated to daytime living, featuring the kitchen, an expansive living area with multiple functional spaces for dining, relaxation, and social gatherings, as well as three additional rooms that may serve as bedrooms or offices. The first floor is defined by a large central room with generous glazed surfaces and an open connection to the terrace, details that transform it into an ideal social area or a refined lounge for winter evenings marked by notes of cognac and cigars. Also on this level are five bedrooms and two spectacular terraces: the main terrace overlooking the front façade, adjacent to the upstairs lounge area, and a secondary lateral terrace accessible from two of the bedrooms. One of the property’s most remarkable features is the covered terrace framed by Neo-Romanian arches — a space that invites peaceful mornings, summer dinners, and long evenings overlooking the mature garden and the green landscape of Argeș. The entire estate breathes intimacy, balance, and refinement. The basement is a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a masterpiece tailored to its future owner’s vision: a wine cellar, a cigar room, or a private spa are only a few of the possibilities this space can accommodate. The mature and carefully composed garden perfectly complements the character of the estate. Ornamental trees, rich vegetation, and discreet pathways create the feeling of a private retreat, far removed from the rhythm of the city. This is the kind of property that impresses not through excess, but through atmosphere — through that natural and difficult-to-define elegance that only truly authentic places possess. Beyond its value as a primary residence or exclusive holiday retreat, the manor also offers remarkable investment potential. The scale of the land, the distinctive architecture, and its unique character make it ideally suited for transformation into a boutique hotel, private retreat, premium event venue, or hospitality project dedicated to refined and authentic experiences.

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.
