From the restoration of an inter -war mansion to the construction of an ecosystem that combines refinement, nature and innovation, Casa Timiș has become a landmark of premium Romanian hospitality. Cristina Timiș, founder and CEO of the resort, talks about the transformation process, about the essence of an authentic experience, partnerships built on common values and about the next step: the complete integration of the wellbeing dimension, for a refuge that not only relax, but regenerate.
How was the process of transforming the Timiș House into an integrated resort concept?
Cristina Timiș, founder and CEO of Timiș House: The process was a true heart trip. It all started with a clear vision: to play a life of a place loaded with history and to transform it into a modern sanctuary of beautiful, authenticity, tradition and Romanian refinement. We wanted to create a resort that offers not only impeccable services, but memorable experiences.

From the restoration of the inter -war mansion, made with deep respect for the Romanian heritage, to the outline of the whole field, where there are unique accommodations such as hand -painted bungalows, gourmet restaurants, a holistic spa and experiences in nature, in the middle of the vine, each step was made with intent, with a careful look and with a brave look.
Today, Casa Timiș is not only a resort, but a living story, a destination in which the soul can rest and find.
What does modern hospitality mean to you and how do you adapt it to the values of the place?
Cristina Timiș: For us, modern hospitality means authenticity, empathy and real attention to people. We are not just talking about simple services, but about an energy of hospitality: the sincere joy of receiving and creating a space in which the guests feel seen, listened to and spoiled. We adapt this philosophy to the values of the place through respect for nature, history and Romanian culture. I reinterpreted the interwar elegance in a contemporary key, and every detail, from the materials used in decorations, to the ingredients on the plates and to the rituals in the spa, tells a story about roots, traditions and refinement.

We value and protect nature, being proud of the Green Key certification, which attests to our commitment for a sustainable tourism. Thus, Casa Timiș becomes not only a beautiful place, but also a responsible one towards the environment.
What are the essential elements that contribute to the premium experience of guests?
Cristina Timiș: The premium experience at Casa Timiș is built from carefully chosen details, which communicate with each other and creates a natural flow: the privileged location in the middle of the vineyards and gardens created by us, the architecture that invites the dream, the menus signed by the award -winning chefs, the wines from the grapes of our own vineyards, the outdoor activities that reconnect with nature that reconnect with nature that reconnect with nature that reconnect with nature He feels at every moment spent here.

But all this is possible because of our team. People who listen to the guests to give them exactly what they want, people for whom every gesture of attention and every service are made with sincere joy. This is, in fact, the essence of a premium experience: it is not only about luxury, but about feeling. About how you manage to make a man feel at home in a place that does not belong to him, but he calls it and recalls it.
How do you handle your relationship with partners so that everything you offer is flawless?
Cristina Timiș: We strongly believe that valuable partnerships are built on common values and a shared vision. We choose our partners with the same care with which we choose ingredients or wines because it is essential for every collaborator to understand and resonate with our promise of excellence.

Transparent communication, commitment to quality and mutual respect are fundamental. When each partner assumes the role with responsibility and passion, the result is an impeccable experience for the guest, which we all want.
What role does digital innovation play in facilitating the stay, from check-in to payment?
Cristina Timiș: Digital innovation is a silent, but extremely effective ally, in the experience we offer. We want the guests to feel only the fluidity and naturalness of the stay, not the logistical effort in the back.
Therefore, we integrated digital solutions for fast reservations, simplified check-in, easy communication with our team, easy access to personalized menus and activities, as well as modern and safe payment methods. However, we do not allow technology to replace the heat of human interaction, we use it only to support it. Thus we get efficiency, always keeping the emotion of each contact.
