Living and Working in Breb, Romania.

We mention ” our village in Romania” all over this website, well our village has a name, it is Breb. It is in the very far north, in the County of Maramures, directly above Transylvania and below Ukraine. We’ve been coming and going from Breb for over 2 years now and to us it is home. I’ve set this page up to help a friend. The very lovely Penny runs The Village Hotel. It’s the cutest little collection of traditional village houses and Penny built and restored a lot of them herself. It’s a fairly up-market place in the heart of the village, surrounded by trees, meadows and traditional village life. If you’d like to live in Breb and work while you are there, the following opportunity currently exists. Any questions, leave them in the comments, I can help you before Penny gets bombarded with messages.

Living in Breb

Breb is a tiny traditional village and modern facilities are few. There are no restaurants and coffee shops, but we have 3 pubs. Winters are extremely harsh, temperatures dip to -25C and snow and ice lie thick for months. We ski just up the road. Once spring arrives everything changes and summers are long and hot. Every family in the village keeps pigs, cows and chickens and grows their own vegetables, this isn’t a place for vegans as you will see animals being slaughtered. The village is criss-crossed with footpaths and dirt tracks, you are far more likely to see a horse and cart than a car.

Things to do Near Breb

Other than the obvious tourist attractions and UNESCO sites of Maramures, we have hot salt baths nearby, a modern shopping centre with movies in English, plenty of opportunities for walking, biking and photography and pretty good internet. We also have a very sociable and friendly community waiting to welcome you.
