Our story
An ancestral house for a new century.
On the edge of the ancient Codri forests in the Orhei district, the castle recreates the feel of an aristocratic estate. Light, noble tones — gold and beige — hold luxury and minimalism in quiet balance. Every piece of décor is chosen by hand, for stays that are unhurried and private.

Where you stay
Seven themed retreats.
Each room is named for a story — a battle, a flower, a bird. None looks like the next.

At the table
Eastern European
kitchen.
Seventy dishes from across the continent, served in a fifty-seat dining room of arched windows and oak floors. Open for brunch, lunch, and dinner — and, on Sundays, a long afternoon roast that runs until the sun gets low.
From the castle
The Journal.
Letters and notes from the kitchen, the cellar, and the long walks beyond the gates.
