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 convert ed into guesthouses, with varying degrees of comfort depending on the attention to detail of the conversion project.
