House Botiza (Romania)
Lucian Blaga said that “eternity was invented in the village” and where could you feel the meaning of these words better than in Maramureș, the place where as you arrive you seem to walk through a gate to meet tradition and authenticity. Any visitor who arrives here for the first time discovers, in the beginning, the fairytale landscapes, and immediately after, the spirit of the locals who due to their way of being, to their specific speech but also to their folk costumes, welcome you with the ultimate hospitality and joy, the characteristics of what can become at any time the informal brand identity of these places. This region hides real architectural treasures, from the well-known wooden churches to the traditional carved gates, which, inviting you to cross the border of the households, seem to transport you instantly into a museum, but also to a special time when living quietly but diligent in the country side blends harmoniously with a certain respect for the customs. Cosma House is part of this fairytale landscape. It can be reached by driving on a private access road, at the end of which there is, of course, a beautiful wooden gate. The 150-year-old house was thoroughly restored in 2008 with a special care for its traditional elements and at the same time it was modernly equipped adapting to current requirements. Located in the middle of a large orchard, the house has a traditional porch typical for Maramureş with beautiful sculptures and seating benches. From here you can admire a wonderful view over the Rodna and Țibleș Mountains, the altitude being 750 m. Having a built area of 139 square meters, it can accommodate four people in a more than comfortable environment. If on the outside the house shows only its traditional side and the beauty of the past, inside it transforms and adapts to provide comfort and all that is necessary for the life of the modern man. Thus, the house is fully equipped and furnished with premium quality furniture and top appliances. On the ground floor there is a spacious and well-equipped kitchen, the living room and one bathroom, and upstairs it has a large bedroom and an open space for sleeping. The garden has a BBQ area, a place designed for campfire and a covered pavilion perfect for admiring the fairytale panorama with a glass of „horinca” in the cellar and a plate of goodies just taken off the grill. The house is an ideal starting point for nature, culture, hunting or hiking lovers given that it is located in an area with incredibly rich flora and fauna (brown bears, wolves, lynx, wild cats, otters, deer, eagles, and a variety of rare birds, such as hoopoe and barnacles). The surrounding meadows and the whole field are mowed manually each year, with great care, the way that has been done here for more than a hundred years. Also, here we can find orchids, wild gladioli, carnivorous plants, cotton buds and many other plants. The historic wooden monasteries and churches, the museums or markets in Sighet and the surrounding villages are an ideal destination for excursions. The most famous sights in the area are just a few kilometers away. Some of the well-known landmarks are: Sighetul Marmației (50 km), Cailor Waterfall (83 km), Săpânța Merry Cemetery (68 km), Bârsana Monastery (25 km), Baia Mare (90 km), Breb (42 km). That being said, this property meets all the necessary criteria in order to become a future holiday home or, why not, a new home in a fairytale landscape, away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities.

Apartment Breb (Romania)
The proud Maramuresan gate stands straight at the street and invites you inside. The fence in which it is trapped, made of woven canes and with narrow eaves, allows the visitor to see from the outside only the roof of the traditional shingled building. Between the stone foundation and the attic, the houses breathe through a verandah made of artistically cut wood; from here the view is wonderful, over trees, valleys and pastures undisturbed by man. The four houses that share their yard are each arranged on the ground floor and attic; the renovation of one of them has been completed, the others are still being worked on. To encourage socializing they are served by a gazebo where there is an oven and grill. The interior is chic, with the living area on the ground floor in the colors of the sky and the night area upstairs, in the shades of wood that outline the ceiling. Breb, the flagship village of Maramures, is an extremely sought-after destination and an experience highly desired by tourists is living in traditional houses. Many of the existing ones have been converted into guesthouses, with varying degrees of comfort depending on the attention to detail of the conversion project. photo Tudor Prisecaru

Property Mara (Romania)
For passers-by, whether villagers or visitors, this is a proud household, beautifully renovated and respectful of the past and tradition - with a shingled roof, a porch made of intricately carved burned wood, and a fence, like all Maramures fences, protected from rain and bad weather; moreover, a formidable oven is ready to bake bread and pies in a well-equipped gazebo.For those who will inhabit it, the property elegantly blends tradition with the new; warm wood completely covers the attic on the walls, floor, and ceiling, making way for a minimalism that reaches its peak in the bathroom, where the tub overlooks the road that separates the greenery in two. The living room on the ground floor, however, retains the colours of childhood at grandma's - with walls painted with a roller and border with small and cheerful flowers; the benches and the green buffet, as generous as grandma's arms, blend well with the fireplace placed in the corner. The atmosphere is rich in contrast with the minimalism of the upper floor, but both are soothing, nurturing. From the hallway of the house, you enter two apartments, each having a room on the ground floor and one on the upper floor, a bathroom, and a small space, a niche for playing/reading. On the ground floor, there is a shared bathroom, and in the basement, there is a cellar. The attic has been raised by 50 cm to accommodate the rooms. The Velux windows are large to ensure natural light, and the small balcony is sufficient to allow for terrace furniture.A second gazebo is arranged along the property line; nearby are the wooden tub and an old stable, with the roof rebuilt over the three rooms in which traditional old objects are currently exhibited. There are three parking spaces on the property, but two more cars can be parked nearby. The property is connected to electricity, has a 5kw photovoltaic system installed, water is taken from the public network and from its own wells, one traditional and one utility, and there is a septic tank in the courtyard. ,photo Florin Pepene
