One of the very few fully renovated manors available in Bucharest′s vicinity is located in Vadu-Lat, Giurgiu county. Only 51 km away from Bucharest, Radu Iliescu Manor can instantly become a permanent residence away from the buzz of the big city but with a fairly easy access to all its interest points, or it can become a weekend or vacation residence with all facilities and amenities needed. Built in 1900, the manor is listed as a historical and architectural monument of local importance, and it was fully renovated with a lot of attention for the details and great care for restoration and preservation of the original elements, and then furnished and decorated in line with its character and its history. The manor is set on a 3.834 land plot, with turf, stone alleys, ornamental landscape and a big orchard with fruit trees. We find also a few additional smaller constructions: a gazebo, a stand-alone 〞house of the guardian〞 that is fully renovated and ready-to-use, an old barn that is restored and used for decorative purpose, and a building that was used as stables and that is now transformed in 3 distinct rooms used as workshop, distillery and storage. The manor is built on two levels, semi-basement and ground floor, and since 2009 it is owned by a family who took care of the restoration process, a very thorough one, made using traditional methods and materials. After renovation the place was tastefully designed, from the garden′s landscape all the way to furniture and the authentic decor pieces.If what you want is a property with an aristocratic heritage, that looks and feels authentic and natural, that happily blends together nature and history, then the Vadu-Lat manor may be your best choice
