    Description

    Hi there :)
    I am Mihaela (40), owner of a beautiful 5,000 sqm country house in Movilita village, in Dobrogea, on the Black Sea coast. I have been living abroad with my family for 12 years, in Dubai, Italy, Germany, and recently returned back home. During our time abroad, our house and large garden haven't been properly attended and now need some good effort to reinstate their former beauty. I thank you for your interest in our place and welcome you discover our story and rich Dobrogea.

    Histria (founded in 657 BC), the oldest Greek settlement in Romania
    The beach resorts on the Black Sea coast: Mamaia, Neptun-Olimp, Eforie Nord, Costinesti, Mangalia
    The underground limestone complex and the church in chalk at Basarabi
    The curative mud baths on the shores of Lake Techirghiol in Eforie Nord
    Bird watching in the Danube Delta, the realm of over 300 bird species, including the largest pelican colonies
    Danube Delta tours by boat with local fishermen
    The traditional fishing villages in the Danube Delta, such as Sfantu Gheorghe, Mila 23 , Crisan, Jurilovca and Letea

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is public transport available, connecting Movilita to Constanta, one of the largest cities in Romania and ancient port city (30 min drive). Our house is 10-15 min drive to the beach. 7 min drive to Techirghiol, the famous mud baths. As mentioned above, lots of historical and cultural sites.
    Dobrogea is also home to the Danube Delta, a 2,200-square-mile wildlife reserve designated by UNESCO as a "Reservation of the Biosphere;" From the port city of Tulcea, day cruises through the Delta's waterways give travelers a glimpse of the abundant wildlife and the traditional fishing villages. Floating reed islands, sand dunes and waterways offer shelter to over 300 species of birds, countless fish and 1,150 species of plants.
