The boyar house, now a historical monument, located in a charming zone of Bucharest, was built in 1894, according to J.E. D’Alfonce de Saint Omer’s project, a famous French architect, at the request of the Costa-Foru family, family which, for several generations, gave prominent personalities to the Romanian society, in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. The house still transmits the nostalgia of past times to the passersby, through the typical French architecture, beautifully framed in the alley which invites you to a walk on the way to the Mitropolie. From 1894 to 1935, Maria Costa-Foru, the niece of the banker Christophi Zerlenti, and Constantin Gh. Costa-Foru, son of the first rector of the University of Bucharest, the minister of justice during the reign of Alexandru I. Cuza, lived there together with their children. The noble style of the house fits perfectly in the late XX century French genre of “particulier hotel”, defined by the theme of the colossal piano noble windows of the living room, accentuated by the decorative wrought iron elements. The inside of the house dates back in the 1900’s, with changes in the late 1930's. The dominant style is eclectic French on the upper floors, and the restructuring of the lower floors shows Moorish-Florentine influences. The main feature is represented by the generous and elegant space, very well natural lighted, the rooftops decorated with stucco, Italian style floors made by tiles with optical motifs and venetian battuto, door frames with carved pediments, the main staircase decked with white marble, the stair ramp decorated with wrought iron elements, which represent Maria Costa-Foru’s intials. Fireplaces ordered and made in Vienna can be found in all the large living rooms, one of them being made of black marble, as well as very valuable tile stoves, with a unique character. The heating system is completed by steel radiators, connected to the boiler. This architectural jewel, in which you still can find the air of the pre-war period, invites you to contemplate it in peace. You will certainly be impressed of its space and light, characteristics that bring it closer to the great universal architecture. Photo: Gabriel Ghizdavu

Part of the vibrant district of the city since its building in 1923-1924, the palace holds the signature of the Architect Paul Smărăndescu, one of the most prolific architects of the XXth century in Romania. In about the same period with erecting the building at 7 Matei Millo Street, Paul Smărăndescu has planned other architectural monuments such as Palatul Societății Astra Română (Rosetti Square), Palatul Dacia România (Magheru Boulevard) or Palatul Societății Creditul Rural (Brătianu Boulevard/Doamnei Street). The intense activity of the area has lead to the development of this property as a real business center of those times. The area limited by Calea Victoriei, Regina Elisabeta Boulevard (as called today) and Cișmigiu Park included the offices of the most important press offices and printing houses in the country, such as Adevărul or Universul. The latter has established its headquarters into another impressive building signed by Arch. Paul Smărăndescu at 23 Brezoianu St.. In the same time, the importance of the district has driven the erecting of the Palatul Telefoanelor, 1931-1933, being the first major modernist building in town, only few steps away from 7 Matei Millo St. The '30 years represented a consolidation period for the notoriety of the building from 7 Matei Millo St. as a true business center with occupants such as the Letea Paper Factory, an advertising agency (Rador Orient Radio), a tiles factory (Salzberg&Gronen), the Brătianu Wines, the Bukarest Post Newspaper, as well as the offices of various free lancers such as engineers and doctors. Although along time the area has changes its occupants, still, the location in the heart of Bucharest has allowed it to maintain its attractivity over years. Universul Palace has been consolidated and became a hub with tenants from various creative industries. In the next vicinity, on the former address of the National Theather, a successful hotel concept has been implemented - Novotel, and 2021 will mark the delivery of two important buildings on the offices market - Matei Millo and Tandem. Currently, the former Palace of Letea Factory has a versatile character so that the 2,700 sqm could be converted into residential spaces for the urban lifestyle aficionados, into offices for those that would like to remain connected to the city life, or could be turned into a hotel. The space layout, as well as the access allow various partition solutions and use of the space. There is already a project prepared that comes along with the relevant valid building permit.

Near the center of Oradea, a 3-star guesthouse awaits its new owners - the villa has four double rooms, equipped with their own bathrooms, professional air conditioning and classic, solid wood furniture, offering the comforting air of home away from home. The spaces are generous and bright, furnished with taste and care, the attention to details being seen everywhere. The generous living room and a large table are ready to welcome guests, just like in the living room at home, and the relaxation area is complete with a bar and comfortable armchairs. Warm and simple, with an understated elegance, the interior helps the tourist find his or her way effortlessly. The villa can also be used for business meetings and workshops, the living room having a capacity of 20 people and being pre-equipped with cable and satellite TV, Netflix, free Wi-fi and video projector. The kitchen is located on the first level of the property and is fully equipped, care for the comfort of the guest being also observed in the compartmentalization of the storage cupboards for each room. The reception, a mini-gym fully equipped with professional equipment, as well as administrative and technical spaces can be found on the mezzanine level. The property has a terrace, indoor private parking, electronic access system via bluetooth, both within the premises of the unit and individually for each room, surveillance, alarm and monitoring systems, as well as an external 380V outlet for charging electric vehicles. Oradea, the city of wonderfully renovated pastel buildings, enjoys a new life today, being extremely attractive from a tourist point of view - the Oradea Citadel, the Vulturul Negru Palace, a superb example of a Secession-style building, and the Nymphaea aquapark are just a few of the more famous tourist attractions. 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.

There is much to say about this property located ad litteram at the foot of the Cindrel Mountains, whose forest begins 30m away but, of all the features, the autonomy given by the carefully chosen technologies puts it in a special category - that of sustainable houses, friendly to the nature in the middle of which they are located (also, we do not ignore the fact that independence from public grid comes with financial benefits). The main option for energy independence is the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the house - the owner has already filed for the “Green House” program for a 5 kW-installation. Erected in 2015, the building has an area of 203 square meters, with the first level made of monolithic reinforced concrete for the safety of the building, and the second level having walls made of wooden beams (the thermal system is made of basalt mineral wool of 20 cm for a maximum thermal comfort). The building is designed to withstand earthquakes with a magnitude of over 7.5 degrees on the Richter scale; the foundation depth is 2.5 meters, and the roof has profiled sheet metal and a gutter defrosting system. The water for domestic consumption comes from the local groundwater and is captured through two wells equipped with home supply systems, but there is also an alternative source - a rainwater collection system that supplies two tanks with a total capacity of 12,000 liters. Wastewater is collected in a 2-compartment drainable septic tank. Drinking water will be brought in the spring - the project is underway. There is a three-phase power supply, the installed power being of 12 kw. The entire system is protected by a voltage stabilizer and a 4.5 kW diesel generator automated for the entire property. Thermal comfort is provided by a gas-fired boiler plus a Viessmann wood-fired boiler with a 1000l buffer (the bathrooms have underfloor heating). A pressurized solar panel and a 200l electric boiler provide hot water separately from the plant. A Daikin system is responsible for the air conditioning of the house; there is high speed fiber optic internet. The security of the property is ensured by the video surveillance and burglar alarm system, and the fire protection with a DSC system. Privacy is guaranteed by windows with double-glazed windows and Spiegel foil. All these impressive facilities are spread on 1350 or 1800 sq m of land (with a street front of about 60 m) on which there are a house with 4 rooms, a gazebo, annexes, carport and a private road and swimming pool. On the ground floor, the focal point is the fireplace, the work of the famous Mihai Iancovescu, restorer of the Brukenthal National Museum; it makes the relaxation area have sleek accents for quiet and comforable living. The adjacent cooking & dining area is flooded at dusk by a golden light; evening is also a good time to sit on the terrace and gaze far away to the Făgăraș Mountains. As a reliable help for the living space, the basement houses a summer kitchen, the laundry room, a wine cellar and one technical room (the pantry is attached to the kitchen on the ground floor). The sleeping area means three bedrooms (the master bedroom comes with a dressing room), two bathrooms, a hall and a technical room. Two of the bedrooms have access to the rustic terrace facing east. Outside, in the courtyard lined with trees that bear delicious fruits, there is a gazebo that is perfectly equipped for outdoor dining having a pizza oven, grill, heater and foil closure plus bathroom and storage. In addition to this pavilion on the property there are seven outbuildings, with metal doors, carport and a cellar with access from the outside. The area is quiet and green, and the fact that it is surrounded by large private properties guarantees a peaceful future, without construction sites (in addition, the road is private and has a low traffic of less than three cars/ day).

Standing proudly in central Bucharest, this exceptional property was once the residence of an outstanding intellectual family - the Teodoreanu family. The family's origins stretch far beyond the 1848 Revolution, and included both famous lawyers and engineers with spectacular lives. All three sons of the Teodoreanu family were at the front in the war that gave birth to Greater Romania, but they remained emotionally attached to the property, so Alexandru, one of them would buy back the building. At the same time, the family name is closely linked to Romanian culture, Ionel Teodoreanu leaving a strong mark on the Romanian literary landscape through his evocative writings of childhood and adolescence. With a rich history and remarkable architecture, this property was even the scene of famous moments contained in the wonderful trilogy La Medeleni. Being a home full of inspiration and creation, the residence itself has been both witness to events and moments full of life, and the focal point of the existence of the family members so that they have also acquired colour and character under the pen of Ionel Teodoreanu's talent. Built in 1912 in a period of economic prosperity typical of the Belle Epoque, this residence is much more than a living space - it is a cultural testimony to a remarkable period in Romanian history. This building preserves a fragment of the atmosphere of inter-war Bucharest, perhaps the most flourishing period of Great Romania. The residence was also built with rigour, with a view to its durability and longevity for future generations. The price is subject to VAT.

This household is proud and rich, protected from the eyes of strangers by a solid brick wall; to the outside world it shows only a facade wearing a decorative belt in the colors of summer wheat. A flirty plant motif, a tulip, indulges in cartouches on the wall. The blue shutters border windows that open inside to large and bright rooms with beams on the ceiling and wonderful stoves - original stoves with tiles, corner stoves, high stoves, stoves built like an elegant sideboard that instantly catches the eye. The doors are often double and painted in the traditional green colour of the area; cheerfully painted benches preserve the custom of the place. The large courtyard, with its vaulted gate once used by ox carts, is today filled with well-kept grass and shrubs; cobblestone paths line the house and plants grow on the corners near the gutters. Here and there the windows open among the leaves and branches that grow hanging on the wall, creating that rustic atmosphere that promises coolness and pampering. There are four traditional houses located on 9000 square meters of urban land. Their age varies and starts from 1862 when a house with one bedroom, bathroom, hall and cellar was erected. Another construction is from 1950 and offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and hallways, cellar and shed/stable. In addition to these there is a building with two rooms, hall, bathroom, shed and workshop and another with shed, restaurant (living room), kitchen and technical room (on the first floor there is an apartment with living room, bedroom and bathroom). Although they have complete autonomy and can be owned individually by different owners, they can also work excellently as a tourist guesthouse or event center because they are also served by a building where the spa area, deckchair, sauna, and terrace are arranged. The village is not large - a settlement of houses lined up along the road, most of them having green fields at the bottom of the yard, typical of the hilly relief, from the Hârtibaciu plateau. Located 20km from Viscri, the emblematic village of Transylvania popularized by King Charles the III of Great Britain, Grânari enjoys the same Saxon features and traditions but avoids the congestion and prices of its more famous neighbor. photo Florin Pepene

Located on Dinicu Golescu Boulevard, The Villa with Gorgons is one of the few buildings from the beginning of the 20th century that has been preserved on this important artery of Bucharest. The building was built in 1913 and bears the signature of Ion D. Berindey, one of the most famous and prolific Romanian architects of the first three decades of the 20th century. Among the 29 works classified as historical monuments of Ion D. Berindey are the Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino Palace (today the headquarters of the George Enescu National Museum and the Romanian Composers Union), the George G. Assan House (today the House of Scientists), Palace of the Journalists' Union (today the Very Small Theatre). The Villa with Gorgons was built as Colonel Andreescu's private residence as explained by Revista Poporului, a newspaper of the time, which emphasizes how a good architect can with a modest amount easily obtain a completely satisfactory construction from the aesthetic and comfortable point of view. From an aesthetic point of view, the building is tributary to the romantic style and has as a distinctive sign the gorgonles, sculptures that decorate the facade. Gorgons are taken from Greek culture where symbols on doors, walls, windows, floors and shields were intended to protect the ancient Greeks from evil. In terms of use, the villa is truly versatile and can be set up as a home, office space or a bohemian restaurant. Located on a land area of ​​309 square meters, with a footprint of 101 square meters, Vila cu Gorgone is a slim building, with a D+D+1E+M height regime. The spaces are generous and balanced on levels. The ground floor and first floor have three rooms each and spacious entrance halls. The rooms have wide windows and are bright. The same generous space also exists in the mezzanine, and the attic is open space and perfect for a bohemian design. The villa has two access ways: one pedestrian and another for car access. The building is strengthened and the facade is completely restored. Photo: Tudor Prisecaru, Alex Canjea.

The villa was built in the interwar period according to the plans of the architect Octavian Doicescu, member of the Romanian Academy, Doctor Honoris Causa of the Ion Mincu Institute of Architecture in Bucharest, known for numerous projects, such as the Romanian House Pavilion at the “New York World's Universal Exhibition Fair 1939, of the Palace of the Society of Romanian Writers, the ensemble of the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest, the building of the Romanian Opera and other public and residential projects in Bucharest and in the country. The Mântuleasa area came into being during the Brâncovenilor period outside the city and would develop around the church of the same name, being incorporated into the hearth of the city in 1752. Personalities such as Mihai Eminescu, Mircea Eliade, Petre Țuțea, Panait Istrati or Mircea Vulcănescu, lived and created in the Parisian-scented houses of the famous slum. Built at the end of 1936, with a layout on five levels, respectively Bs2+Bs1+Gf+1F+A, made of brick on reinforced concrete frames and beams, the house in Mântuleasa was designed for practical, generous spaces that benefit from full of natural light. There are 12 rooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a terrace on the ground floor, two balconies on the first floor, a very high cellar in the second basement and a garage in the first basement. It has a free yard of approximately 350 square meters with green spaces and the possibility of parking for at least 2 cars. Characterized by a minimalist and modernist charm at the same time, solid from a constructive point of view, the villa can have multiple future destinations, both as a chic residence that preserves and carries forward with dignity the fragrance of the interwar period, as well as space for business, restaurant , law firm, notary, company headquarters.

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).

The vibrant construction set on a gentle slope is reached by a path with burnt wood and stone steps, perfectly integrated into the natural setting of the garden. The building, whose height ratio DP+P+1E+M and footprint gives it a springy air, is clad in stone that contrasts with the dark wood balustrades and geraniums that adorn the terraces and balcony. The roof descends over the ground floor terrace like a protective arm against the wind and weather and wide glazed surfaces let light bathe the interior generously. The basement, which exploits the natural difference in level of the land, is thought of as a rather administrative-logistical space - here are placed a kitchen, a storage room and a generous cellar, the thermal plant and the laundry-ironing room plus a room of 12 square meters. On the ground floor there is another kitchen and dining area, living room and two bathrooms. It is the space where family and friends gather. Three bedrooms with three bathrooms, two terraces and a balcony form the night area to which the entire first floor is dedicated; from here you can go directly to the backyard, guarded by the forest. The attic, divided into a generous open space, an office/bedroom, bathroom, hall and storage room, can function as an additional living space. The villa is offered for sale with the current equipment and classic-style furniture. This also includes the luxury of fireplaces, in the living room and in the master bedroom, perfect for relaxing in the ambiance provided by the sound of wood crackling in the fire, in the light of the burning logs. Time seems to flow a little differently in such a house, not slower but just more quietly. The image of the mountains in front rests the eye and the greenery of the property gives it another rhythm – of the rustle of the foliage and the smooth flow of the gondola nearby. The villa, surrounded on three sides by forest, is located on Calea Codrului in Sinaia, in the immediate vicinity of Taverna Sârbului Restaurant and the gondola station, i.e. in the perfect location for ski lovers and more.

An ensemble of historic houses located in the Jewish quarter of the Capital, more precisely on Romulus Street, which became a historical monument representative of the local cultural heritage, built for Colonel Teodor Vera, commander of the Howitzer Regiment, fighter of the Romanian army in the war for Romania's unifying 1916-1919, in the battles of Mărăști and Mărășești. Romulus Street, in the former Lucaci slum, is one of the most important historical streets in Bucharest, which still preserves the scent of the past. Here, in 1867, next to the house of Hermann I. Rieber, the first Rieber carriage factory was founded, which would later become a luxury car factory. Whether they lived in sumptuous villas built in the pre-war period, or in chic blocks of flats built between the two world wars, over time personalities such as Ionel Teodoreanu, M.I. Demetrescu, Anton Pann, Eugen Lovinescu, George Vraca, Ionescu Gion. Here we meet two architectural styles that form a mixed, composed of two houses built in stages, on a plot of 1,030 sqm, the main body in French neoclassical architectural style, built in 1888, and the secondary body in neo-Romanian architectural style, built in 1929 according to the plans of the architect Grigore Cerchez. The architecture of the buildings was well preserved, the architectural elements were restored after the original ones in the 2000s, preserving the geometry, texture and color of the facades, windows, doors and all the particular elements. At present, the general configuration of the ensemble represents a good opportunity for many types of activities through the multitude of access roads, both from the street and from the courtyard, the generous spaces of the rooms, the height of the ceilings and the practical compartments. The main building, built in French neoclassical style, with a height of GF + M, has an area of ​​708 sqm, and consists of 14 rooms, 2 kitchens, 5 bathrooms and 4 access doors. Decorated at the main entrance, built in rezalit, with massive Corinthian columns and continuing with the door and window frames, rich in triangles and caryatids, the main building is the point of attraction of the ensemble. The secondary building, built in 1929 in neo-Romanian style, according to the plans of the architect Grigore Cerchez, with a height of Ug + Gf + 1F + At and an area of ​​577 sqm, consists of 17 rooms, 2 kitchens, 7 bathrooms and 4 access doors. It also has a basement on 3 levels, one of which is arranged with a wine cellar. The entire basement benefits from natural ventilation, has a usable area of ​​77 sqm, and consists of a wine cellar, 5 storage rooms grouped on separate spaces.

The building is a small jewel, richly decorated and preserving a classic elegance and the distinction of the era in which it was built. The archives mention that in 1911 the house belonged to a certain lieutenant Ionescu about whom today we don't know much, only the essential - he was a man of taste. The building is a former private residence with a low height regime but it offers sufficient and intelligently designed space for the needs of a modern family or company. Until recently, the Austrian Consulate functioned in the building. There are pilasters with capitals that guard the bay window both inside and outside in the living area; they are also found, though with reduced height, as decorative pillars of the entrance porch. The semicircle is the geometric figure chosen to complement and sweeten the straight lines of the window boxes and blazons on the facade; it is found at the bay window, at the windows facing the street and in the double-arched pediment. The double doors at the entrance complement the classic style of the building with decorative garlands and paneling. The windows are high, and the window casing adds an extra touch of elegance; the same role is played by the small iron decorations that serve as fasteners for downspouts. The ground floor is located on a high basement and this lends it presence. Inside, the building requires renovation work but it promises to reward you with spaces with personality that still preserve, in some rooms, the original parquet flooring and stoves with beautiful ironwork. The upper floor is not fully visible from the front; it reveals itself on the side, where there is also a secondary entrance to the building. The unfurnished attic can be lofted as a storage space. The area still retains many buildings from the end of the 19th century, which gives it a bohemian air and guarantees protection from an urban planning point of view. Some of the buildings have been restored and many others are waiting for their chance at a new life. The centrality of the area invites commercial investment in both office space and commercial units and makes it attractive for future developments.

The Cantacuzino-Ghica Castle from Deleni is one of Moldova’s most notable castles. The first building of the present-day architectural ensemble was the church erected in 1669, near a boyar’s court, probably the oldest in the principality. After Maria Cantacuzino’s marriage with Constantin Ghica in 1778, the estate entered the possession of the Ghica-Deleni family. The Refurbishment works the new owners commissioned gave the ensemble its current configuration. The inner stone wall and restoration and expansion works were carried out until 1802, and, afterwards, at the beginning of the 20th century, the castle was redesigned by architect Nicolae Ghika-Budesti. The castle has large and bright spaces – rooms, lounges, lobbies – spread across the ground floor, first floor and basement. During the Second World War, for two years, the castle served as a garrison for Soviet troops. Following the nationalization process, the building hosted the cultural house of Deleni. It then became a preventive medical unit, which has not changed to this day.
