Businessman Dorin Mateiu and his partner, architect Ioan Străjan, have sold the 4-star Golf Hotel Pianu, next to the golf course in Pianu de Jos in Alba county, to brothers Eyup and Ensar Duman, who are in the health and restaurant business. The hotel will be converted into a rehab center. The Golf Hotel Pianu is located next to the Paul Tomiță Golf Club, inaugurated in 1995 as a public-private partnership and promoted as the first private golf club in Romania. The club became famous in 2021 as the place where President Klaus Iohannis urged Romanians to practice this “not at all exclusive sport”. The four-star Golf Hotel Pianu in Alba county has 26 rooms and various facilities such as a luggage storage and a restaurant. “Duman Clinic has acquired the entire share capital of La Stejari SRL which owns and operates the hotel in Pianu de Jos, jud. Alba, which previously offered accommodation for guests of the Paul Tomiță golf club in the same locality. In its new structure, the company will modernize the location and adapt it to accommodate a therapeutic community for detoxification – the ENLA center. The value of the investment, including the purchase price, exceeds EUR 2 million,” said Ensar Duman, CEO of Duman Clinic. The 18-hole golf course in Pianu de Jos covers 70 ha and is located on the site of a gold mine in Roman times, the club’s presentation website says. The course is located in the birthplace of Paul Tomiță, the man who taught King Michael the King to play golf. The conversion of Golf Hotel Pianu into a health facility is not the only one this year. Cluj-based doctor Florin Mărghitaș, owner of the Eurosanclinic health network, bought the Palas hotel in the resort of Slănic-Moldova from the Romanian state at auction this year and is preparing to convert it into a 100-bed physical and mental rehabilitation clinic.
