Nestled within the enchanting landscapes of Dobra, the Poenaru Manor stands as a testament to the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era. Surrounded by lush vegetation and green hills, this stately residence exudes an air of mystery and historical significance, having once been the cherished abode of the illustrious boyar family of Poenaru. One of the most prominent boyar families of Oltenia, the Poenaru dynasty is a large one, with important representatives in the political, cultural and scientific life of Romania during the last two centuries. The story of the Dobra domain starts with Costadin (Dinca) Poenaru (1789-1874) who inherits and then extends family’s lands all across Mehedinți county. But is is Constantin Poenaru (1860-1946) the one that puts his entire life and energy into developing the Dobra Domain to what it is today. Approaching the manor, one is immediately struck by the imposing façade that speaks of both opulence and noble heritage. The architecture seamlessly combines Classical and Renaissance influences, resulting in a harmonious blend of intricate stonework, sober features but also delicate ornate details. As you step inside, a sense of timelessness envelops you. The interior exudes an aura of faded grandeur, with high vaulted ceilings adorned by old bricks walls that can tell some century old tales and historical events. The grand foyer, illuminated by the soft glow of antique chandeliers, leads to a series of once lavishly decorated rooms. The heart of the manor is undoubtedly the grand hall, a space designed to host extravagant gatherings and events. Towering windows allow natural light to cascade onto the large halls that lead to rooms who used to be used for living, for doing business or for spending time with friends. The expansive gardens that envelop the Poenaru Manor are a verdant paradise, with a large wallnuts orchard, vibrant flowerbeds, and meandering pathways that invite contemplative strolls. The domain contains a series of very valuable annex buildings: small renovated house (128 sqm), a beautiful former barn (166 sqm), the large storage (3 levels on a 327 sqm footprint) and a small block of apartments (2 levels on a 174 sqm footprint). The total land plot has 11 hectares , out of which 7 are owned and 4 are leased from the city hall. While time has inevitably left its mark on the Poenaru Manor, it remains a well preserved cherished jewel in Dobra's and Oltenia’s historical tapestry, a living testament to the legacy of the boyar family that once graced its halls. It can be used as such, as a beautiful residence for permanent living or for vacation, or can be turned into a small farm, a beautiful boutique hotel or a medical care center.

The mansion known today by the name of its second owner, Timișoara-born businessman Koșca, was built in the 19th century by the Polish Hagianopol. He sold the property in 1930 but the time that has passed over it since then has not touched it; perfectly preserved and with a young spirit the domanin stands proud today, with new and attractive accessories such as the sky-reflecting pool. Protected by a belt of bushy trees strategically placed on the property boundary, the main building is white, bright and warm under its reddish new brick roof. The interior keeps the light and associates the white walls with a lot of wood - decorative beams on the ceiling, old furniture, carpentry. In one room high semi-columns are painted with flowers in autumn rust colors, outlining a chromatic leitmotif. The bedrooms are generous, gently dominated by the warmth of wood; brown terracotta stoves preserve the rustic character of the entire mansion. A gorgeous tile stove in blue and white is the piece de resistance of the living room. The area of over two hectares includes 4 buildings with their own central office and various annexes and facilities. First of all, the Mansion stands out with a built area of 306 square meters divided into 6 rooms, living room, 4 bathrooms, kitchen, cellar, porch, terrace with garden and swimming pool. The secondary house has a built-up area of 238 sqm - 4 rooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, indoor garage, an outdoor terrace and an indoor one with a semi-round shape and large windows that offer a superb view of the valley above which the property sits. Separately we find another building - a former warehouse partially furnished as an apartment of approximately 60 useful square meters with 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. A large part of this building, however, is empty and waiting to be given a purpose. All three buildings have, in addition to the mentioned areas, high attics over the entire surface of the ground floor, attics that can be transformed by the future owner at will into useful spaces. A special building present on the land is the former nobleman's wine cellar; it has a footprint of 218 sqm and is built on three underground levels. In the past these premises had an industrial use being a mini factory of dairy products but it can be used again in its own right or as spaces for events. The orchard that surrounds the property has more than 300 fruit trees per fruit that delight guests and turn autumn celebrations in the courtyard of the mansion into real feasts. Conceived at one time as accommodation for tourists interested in the south of the country (Bucharest and Ploiești are 60 km away, Târgoviște 20 km and Pitești 40 km) the mansion receives its guests as a space for recreation and events but just as well it can support a reconversion with an emphasis on its agricultural or orchard potential. Or, why not, it can become a vacation property where the rich history and beauty of simple architecture intertwine with the amenities necessary for the comfort of modern life

Set in the hills of Pietroșița, with open views towards the Bucegi Mountains, Satul Prunilor evokes a small Romanian village surrounded by nature.

At an altitude of some 700 metres, amid orchards and pastures bordered by woodland, the property enjoys the tranquillity of a private retreat.

Access from the resorts of the Prahova Valley nevertheless keeps the estate connected to one of Romania’s best-known tourism regions. The estate extends across 10,500 sq m of land and was developed as an intimate hospitality complex, with buildings that reflect the character of their surroundings. Seven traditionally inspired villas, each measuring around 245 sq m, feature generous living areas and en-suite bedrooms.

An independent traditional residence of around 450 sq m provides a further eight en-suite bedrooms and a living room of some 60 sq m, offering ample space for family gatherings or evenings together. The estate can accommodate up to 72 guests in total, while each building retains its privacy and independence. More than 8,000 sq m of landscaped grounds bring the surrounding scenery into the estate. Gardens open towards meadows and orchards, with the mountains forming a constant backdrop. Careful maintenance, respecting the existing vegetation and local biodiversity, preserves the charm of a rural settlement where nature continues to play an essential role. The extensive outdoor spaces allow guests to enjoy time in the open air without compromising the sense of seclusion. The complex is supported by generous parking and circulation areas, connections to local utilities and its own wastewater management infrastructure. Thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, these provide the practical foundations of an established hospitality property. Where the sub-Carpathian villages of Muntenia meet the mountain landscapes of the Bucegi, Pietroșița offers a base from which to explore a region with a strong Romanian identity. Just 150 km from the capital, Bucharest, and around 80 km from Brașov, Satul Prunilor is well placed for weekend escapes and private or corporate events, as well as for inclusion in international visitors’ itineraries. Proximity to Sinaia and access to the massif’s natural attractions, including Ialomița Cave, offer opportunities for mountain excursions and cultural visits. Accessibility from two of the country’s major cities strengthens the estate’s potential as a hospitality destination, within a rural setting that retains its tranquillity and sense of retreat. Satul Prunilor presents an opportunity to acquire an estate with a distinctive identity and existing hospitality infrastructure, in a landscape integral to its appeal. The property could continue as a boutique mountain retreat, welcome guests on an exclusive-use basis or be developed around corporate events and wellness programmes.
