Located in a beautiful landscape, this shabby chic holiday house is perfect for your vacation. Just book a trip to Romania at Machine House from Zabala and you’ll discover how relaxing living in the countryside is. Surrounded by natural lakes and old trees, the mansion dating from XVI century kept the original spirit after restoration. But, first of all, a strong reinforcement of the structure was needed, as well as a deep cleaning and repainting of the walls. As you’ll discover in the gallery below, some surfaces were left exposed, creating the atmosphere of a sumptuous fortress. Wood flooring and beams are also a must when you want to stay stuck in the past. The noble families engaged in sophisticated discussions in the saloons that were usually decorated with precious items of furniture and appealing decorative objects – silver candle holders, paintings, crystal chandeliers, hunting toffees – just to name a few. You’ll enjoy this ambiance in the shabby chic mansion below.
