The Valea Verde Retreat, established by founders Ulrike and Jonas Schäfer, is an award-winning haven of warm, personal hospitality nestled in the Transylvanian countryside. Embracing the ‘Albergo Diffuso’ concept, it offers guests accommodation in lovingly restored Saxon farmhouses.

Valea Verde plays a significant role in the development of the local community. It endeavours to provide visitors with a truly immersive experience, showcasing the area’s rich culture and natural beauty. Furthermore, there’s a strong emphasis on supporting local enterprise and providing employment opportunities for those in the surrounding villages.

Nowadays the Valea Verde serves as something of a role model for sustainable rural tourism and community development, demonstrating that it’s possible to achieve both excellence in hospitality and a positive impact on the local environment and its people.
