    Yeah, prices in Viscri do seem to be a little higher than in other villages, but I suppose they represent a better investment or resale value. Plus, the advantage for a holiday home buyer is that they know the village is protected from ugly development. In Saschiz it's the same story. There are...

    No worries, ask whatever you like. Materials aren't a big problem. The main problem is that more specialist items can only be obtained from small hardware stores. Although my Romania is pretty good, I sometimes struggle with some of the technical items. In Sighisoara there is a store called...

    There are quite a few expats around. It's nothing like in places that I've read about in Hungary or Bulgaria where there have whole expat communities (it seems) and stuff like that. It's a lot more rustic so you have to be willing to throw yourself into local customs and cultures so if your...

    15-20K is doable, but it'll be a real wreck and will probably need everything doing - electrics, water, roof, and so on. Depends exactly which village. Sighisoara itself is pretty expensive but that doesn't sound like what he wants as he probably wants a bit of land if he's going to go...

    You're welcome. I don't live there full time at the moment, I just go for long weekends and the occasional week. So far so good. The neighbours are really friendly and often stop for a chat. One guy across the road often pops in with some home produce, stuff like urda (ricotta),slanina (smoked...

    Finding houses for sale in Transylvania Hello Mircea, I bought a place in Mures this summer. At the moment I'm just using it as a summer home (I live in Bucharest, so it's about a 3.5 hour drive) but I guess it would work well as a smallholding. My place has about 1000m2 of land that could...
