From the Garden

"Harvest isn't just the act of picking a vegetable from the vine, 

it's a season for collecting the crops and celebrating plentiful gifts our garden has brought to us."

Sibiu - The Streets

Sibiu rejoiced in the last years of a significant acknowledgement of its beauty and touristic potential at an international level. 

Consequently, the prestigious Forbes magazine ranks Sibiu on the 8th place of the list containing "the most idyllic places to visit", 

in 2014 The Huffington Post included Sibiu in the list containing "The most charming cities in Europe you’ll want to visit", 

the city being mentioned in numerous articles of the most important newspapers in Europe and the US. 

Michelin awarded Sibiu a quotation of three stars (Green Guide Stars), 

the maximum quotation and the highest awarded to a city in Romania. 

France, Loire Valley - Château de Chenonceau III

The site covers a huge area and, aside from the chateau itself, 

has a few featured gardens, a maze, a farm, the gourmet restaurant in the Orangery and so much more. 

The yard of the 16th century farm, recently restored, will give you the feeling of being part of a historical film set up.

Situated opposite the Orangery, the Green Garden is made up of trees from a large scale collection, and planted on a lawn. 

In the surroundings are a few shrubs in groves scattered around.

Garlands of wisteria and honeysuckle are spread out along the façade of the Orangery.

The floral decoration of the castle, the Building of the Domes and the Orangerie 

requires a very large-scale production of flowers for cutting. 

These flowers are grown in a garden strictly reserved for them, covering a surface area of 10 000 m2. 

The visitor to the château is welcomed by fresh flowers, 

and thus feels that he is considered as a guest in an inhabited residence.

Red Splash

"The true color of life is the color of the body, 

the color of the covered red, 

the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. 

It is the modest color of the unpublished blood."
