Mimi mansion, Manor house in Bulboaca, Moldova
Mimi mansion is a two-story manor house in Bulboaca with reinforced concrete walls and French architectural details throughout. A large underground wine cellar runs beneath the building, integrated into its foundation.
Constantin Mimi built this manor house in the late 1800s, completing it in 1890 after formal training in viticulture. His study abroad influenced the architectural choices and wine production methods used here.
The manor reflects Moldova's wine tradition through its design and layout, with spaces clearly built around this craft. Wine production shaped how the building was designed and how people use it today.
The property has seven stone cottages available for guests, with breakfast and pool facilities included. Ask staff about guided tours of the wine cellars when you arrive.
The underground cellars hold roughly 300,000 liters of wine stored in barrels. This scale of storage is supplied by vineyards located in the nearby Codru region.
