About us

After more than 25 years of traveling, working, and exploring nearly every corner of the globe, our founders found themselves drawn back to their roots in Romania. They longed to bring their love for hospitality and the world-class experiences they had gathered back home, and that’s how Akasha was born.

This mother-daughter duo, both originally from Romania, left their busy lives in London and even traded India for Transylvania to create the retreat of their dreams—an escape that celebrates the beauty of this incredible part of the country, now finally getting the attention it deserves.

“At our core, we’re hosts. We love sharing stories, savoring special moments, and hearing about yours. We’re excited to welcome you, offer you the best spot by the fire, pour you a glass of our favorite wine, and let time drift by in the best possible way.”

Irina & Daniela.
