Friday Fun: Romanian Villas and Traditional Houses
Just back from a holiday in Romania, where I am always stunned by the diversity of traditional architecture (and the often disappointing standardisation of modern architecture). Here are a few of my favourites.
Traditional Romanian house for mountain area in Transylvania, from adevarul.roModern villas seem to be painted in garish colours, from cleartrip.comIn the northernmost tip of Romania, Bucovina, you get the painted traditional houses (and wells). From PlatFerma.This would be my dream traditional house, from the region my parents are from (for the well-to-do, of course). Conacul Bellu, from casoteca.roLate 19th century villa from the ski resort Predeal, from Romania Libera. Two different architectural styles, now part of the same hotel complex, in Sinaia, a mountain resort very close to Predeal. From Booking.comFinally, something a little bit more adventurous in contemporary architecture, from arhipura.ro
I hope you richly enjoyed your trip, Marina Sofia. Those villas and houses are lovely! I think my choice is the first one, but they’re all appealing. I hope you’ll post more about your trip.
These are so pleasing–esp. the one with the painted top border. Have never had the slightest inclination to go to Romania (where Marina Sofia is from) but these photos suggest a very interesting country to visit.

The last one doesn’t appeal to me but the rest are lovely! Hope you had a wonderful time 🙂
Hope you had a lovely break. Romania’s high on my list of countries to visit.
Romania is obviously very beautiful. The fourth one down is gorgeous!
