The village of Viscri is consolidating its position in the niche tourism segment with the launch of Azuria Viscri, a new premium hospitality project focused on heritage preservation and supporting the local community. Developed over more than four years, the project reflects the growing interest in slow tourism and authentic rural experiences.
Behind this investment is Georgiana Oltenescu, a specialist with a career of over 25 years in telecommunications, banking, and real estate in Romania and Poland. The property, which opened at the end of March, includes two restored traditional houses – Casa Vitraliilor (The Stained Glass House) and Casa Lalelelor (The Tulip House) – offering a total of six rooms. The restoration process preserved original elements such as oak beams, stained glass, and Saxon furniture.
In the culinary segment, the project collaborates directly with local producers, offering cheeses from the Viscri sheepfold, meat products from a farm in Rotbav, and locally made jams, alongside specialty coffee from Origo. The activities on offer include horse-drawn carriage rides, e-bike trails, and visits to local craft workshops. The property already hosts retreat-style events and cultural workshops, integrating the community into the project’s value chain.
