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

Located in 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.

The outdoor terrace, equipped with a retractable pergola and integrated lighting, supports daily use, while parking solutions are discreetly integrated to preserve the visual coherence of the property. Upgrades completed in 2024 — including the new kitchen, exterior deck, and retractable illuminated pergola — introduce a contemporary layer to a residence with a timeless character, without altering its identity. Overall, the property addresses a buyer who values strong positioning, immediate access to elite education, and the discipline of a well-managed home over time. Located in Voluntari, at the immediate edge of northern Bucharest, the residence offers a stable, secure, and long-term relevant living environment.

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

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.

In the historic heart of Timișoara, where the city’s story has unfolded over centuries, rises the Szana Palace — a Class A historical monument that appears less like a mere building and more like a jewel carefully set into the urban fabric. Built between 1921 and 1922 to the designs of architect Josef Kremer Jr., at the initiative of banker and philanthropist Sigismund Szana, the edifice seamlessly blends the eclectic charm of its era with the solemnity of neoclassical lines, the delicacy of Secession details, and the subtle modernity of early Art Deco. Its façade, marked by Ionic columns and an elegant pediment, opens like a grand curtain, inviting one to step into a universe of refinement. On the very ground where the palace stands today, layers of history have succeeded one another across centuries: medieval churches, an Ottoman mosque, and later a Jesuit sanctuary. Each era left its imprint, and all of these memories now converge in the walls of Szana Palace, transforming it into a place where the past feels alive — like a story whispered between columns and arches. The palace is not only an architectural landmark but also a testament to the prosperity of an era when Timișoara embraced modernity with ambition and elegance. It once housed the Szana Bank, an institution that supported the city’s most emblematic industries: from Kandia chocolate to the Timișoreana brewery, from the Bega Mill to textile factories. Within its rooms linger the echoes of business negotiations, diplomatic exchanges, and artistic encounters, while the footsteps once heard in the Marble Hall still seem to summon elegant soirées and cultural evenings that gave the building its soul. Today, with a usable area of 345 square meters, Szana Palace opens its doors once again as a sanctuary of elegance, carefully restored and returned to the cultural life of the city. Home to the Romanian Writers’ Union and artistic events, it retains its aristocratic air while at the same time breathing the freshness of the present. Here, the sunset gently caresses the sober façade, while inside, the silence of the walls invites the imagination to dream of the future. Szana Palace is not merely a property available for acquisition. It is a page of history, a promise of prestige, and a space awaiting its new custodian to continue the story. For those who seek more than real estate — for those in search of a symbol, a legacy, and a stage where the beauty of the past meets the aspirations of tomorrow — this unique building represents a rare and unrepeatable opportunity.

There is much to be said about this property, located ad litteram at the foothills of the Cindrel Mountains, with the forest beginning just 30 meters away. Among its many features, however, the autonomy provided by carefully selected technologies places it in a special category—that of sustainable homes, harmoniously integrated into the natural environment surrounding them. Energy independence is ensured through the installation of photovoltaic solar panels, complemented by a three-phase connection to the public electricity grid. Built in 2015, the house has a total surface area of 203 square meters. The ground floor is constructed from monolithic reinforced concrete, while the upper floor features a modular timber system, providing the building with resistance to earthquakes exceeding 7.5 on the Richter scale. A rainwater harvesting system feeds two tanks with a combined capacity of 10,000 liters, used for garden irrigation, offering a valuable supplement to the public potable water network. The entire system is protected by a voltage stabilizer and an automated diesel generator that serves the entire property. Thermal comfort is ensured by a gas-powered central heating system as well as a Viessmann wood-fired boiler with a buffer tank. Additional amenities include a video surveillance system, burglar alarm system, fire protection system, and more. All these impressive features are set on a 1,300 sqm plot, with the possibility of extension up to 1,800 sqm. On the ground floor, the focal point is the fireplace, a work of the renowned artist Mihai Iancovescu, which adds elegant accents to the relaxation area, creating a calm and comfortable living environment. Supporting the living space, the ground floor also includes a summer kitchen, a wine cellar, and a technical room. The sleeping area comprises three bedrooms (the master bedroom featuring a walk-in dressing room), two bathrooms, a hallway, and a technical room. Outside, in the inner courtyard bordered by fruit-bearing trees, there is a fully equipped gazebo ideal for outdoor dining, featuring a pizza oven, barbecue, bathroom, and storage space.

There are places in Bucharest where time seems to flow differently, where everyday life feels lifted from another world – the bohemian, refined world of the Little Paris of yesteryear. One of those rare places is Strada Londra, one of the most elegant and tranquil streets in the Dorobanți district. Here, historical villas, embassy buildings, and abundant mature greenery come together to create a setting that still stands as a benchmark of discreet prestige. In the heart of this area – where elegance is not an aspiration but a long-standing tradition – lies a truly exceptional apartment, set within one of the renowned Reșița buildings, architectural landmarks built in 1925 and celebrated for their Haussmannian-inspired design, harmoniously integrated into the refined urban landscape. This property spans the entire floor of the building, the result of merging two distinct units into one grand residence. Offering approximately 290 sqm of airy, generously proportioned space, it boasts two separate entrances and a layout ideal for those who appreciate life lived on a grand scale. The rooms are high-ceilinged and flooded with natural light through large windows, illuminating noble furnishings and flawless finishes. Luxurious materials and classic decorative elements are perfectly blended with state-of-the-art amenities and a modern kitchen – bringing together two worlds under a single vision: absolute comfort and timeless elegance. The apartment has undergone far more than a renovation – it was a soulful restoration guided by engineering precision. All walls were stripped down to brick, cleaned, and structurally reinforced using advanced methods, including high-pressure torcret injection, a solution found in military and industrial-grade structures. Over 15,000 bags of debris were removed to make way for a new beginning, supported by a fully upgraded infrastructure: a new flexible slab was poured, all systems – electrical (three-phase, independent from the rest of the building), plumbing, and heating – were completely replaced. Underfloor heating and two professional-grade boilers were also installed. What stands today is a residence where every detail tells a story. From the natural herringbone parquet floors to the custom 3.2-meter-high solid wood doors, each feature has been carefully selected. The stratified wood windows with triple glazing and built-in electric blinds preserve the charm of the interwar period while adding modern comfort. The kitchen is sleek and functional, the bathrooms – outfitted with Scárabeo (Italy) fixtures – reflect a refined retro aesthetic, and the lighting and furniture complete a scene where everything seems to have always belonged. Whether you're in the grand salon, the library lined with rare volumes, the airy bedroom, or the discreet balcony overlooking Strada Londra’s greenery, you’ll feel you’re in a home with true character – crafted for someone who understands the real value of space, serenity, and impeccable detail. A rare apartment in a truly iconic area – ideal for those seeking not just a home, but a personal chapter of history in one of the most beautiful parts of the city.

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

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

Only 45 km from Cluj, at the crossroads of Valea Ierii and Valea Negrii, a road through the forest suddenly opens up, reminiscent of a wonderful grove, a clearing flooded with greenery around an pond. A guesthouse all set in stone, wood and red flowers welcomes its guests with modern rooms and bohemian terraces. The mountain air feels cold and strong when it enters the nostrils, reaches the veins and ozonates. Here everything is under the sign of green - the rich and seemingly wild vegetation is left to dominate, to overflow, to fill the gaze with green. The plaster and buttresses of the exposed stone evoke the durability, stability and stature of a medieval settlement. Everything is made of wood, inside and out. The architecture follows the local rustic style, but the interior, all wood-paneled. has the atmosphere of a contemporary cottage. The wood reflects light creating a quiet, gentle and warm cocoon. Lighting accessories and chromatically coordinated contemporary furniture make a modern gray-yellow-black combination. There are 10 rooms with balconies above the lake, another 7 rooms in the main building (two of them have their own terrace and private tub with air massage) and 4 apartments (one with an area of 48sqm, shower and whirlpool tub/ ciubăr; its terrace is above the waterfall; other two apartments have private tub/ ciubăr).

The French Street connects Piata Unirii with Calea Victoriei; it appears in documents since 1649 when it was known as Curții Street; over time the name varies - one part of it was Podul cel Mare din Curtea Veche (1763), Podul Curtea Veche (1804) and Uliţa Curții Vechi (1854), the other - Uliţa cea Domnească in 1690 or Işlicarilor & Boiangiilor Street in 1804. Under Constantin Brâncoveanu the street becomes as long as we know it today. The French name comes from the time when the French consul resided on it. The street was also called Carol until 1947 and then 30th December. After the 1989 revolution, it became Iuliu Maniu and since 2007, when a boulevard was named after the politician, it has become French Street again. It is one of the first lit and paved streets in the city, but also the one that entered history as the place where the great fire of 1847 started, when over 2000 buildings disappeared; the fire broke out thanks to the son of a stolnic (local clerk) who played by shooting his father's gun into the thatched attic. On this historic street, at no. 58, in 1938, Schrems Broderie, a weaver, and Karmann I – Carol, a dentist, were operating (it seems that Lev Tolstoi lived at no. 12 in 1854 when accompanying the Russian troops to Wallachia). Today, at no. 58, there is an elegant building with tall glass sheets and wrought iron balustrades that rhythmically punctuate the facade; denticles, short half-columns and other vegetal and geometric elements complete it. The building has two commercial spaces on the ground floor and 14 apartments on the upper floors, with areas between 38-113 sqm. The attic (384 sqm) and the cellar (211 sqm) generously complement the surfaces. Access is allowed by four different stairs leading to the inner courtyard. Only one apartment is currently rented, the building being in need of repair and renovation works. The original corner stoves, paneling on the ceilings and double doors with glass windows are the only ones still fighting the fading today, stubbornly preserving the spirit of past eras. However, the potential is huge considering the positioning one minute away from the Manuc Inn; the building can become a boutique/apart-hotel or apartments for rent/resale, after consolidation.

Modest at a first glance like a demure young lady, the mansion keeps its roof like an eye lid fixed in the ground, refusing to reveal itself. It must be courted, trodden on the brick paths and eyed on the woodwork of the porch. Inside, the piano is shyly silent but the proud stove promises roaring fire. The solid wood furniture is carefully chosen and captures the atmosphere of the late 19th century when the building was erected; the wooden pendulum keeps the measure of time but does not take it prisoner - the property enjoys all the comforts of the present - electricity, central heating (wood boiler), water, solar panels for hot water and complete infrastructure. The generous porch is the ornamental element that ennobles the building, otherwise a classic parallelepiped volume. The timber construction has a rustic yet elegant finish that the hanging plants take to another level (as does the annex that exploits a mound on the property and is fitted with lovely brick-framed double doors). Curved, brick paths lead the steps through areas of thick grass or dwarf flowers and over 30 varieties of roses in the English garden, but on the grounds there are also oaks, maples and ornamental shrubs over 150 years old; lavender is cultivated on 20 acres (of the 7.8 hectares, 1.28 ha is urban land and 4.8 ha is arable land). The orchard has peaches, nectarines, sour cherries, pears, cherries and other fruit trees such as a few wild cherries; not far away there are crops of strawberries, currants, blackberries and raspberries - the land is rich and can be exploited for farming or hunting. The manor was gifted as a hunting estate by Count Zichy Vasonckeoy Ferenc, Minister of Trade in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to his son Tivadar in 1899. Today the property is also known as Hajas Manor after the current owners, but in the title deed it is referred to as a castle. It was bought in 2010 and restored according to the original plan keeping the original carpentry but adding double glazed windows to the wooden windows. The domain is located on the road between Marghita and Săcuieni, 200 m from the main road, between the Petreu and Cristur settlements.

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

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

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.

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.

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).
