When Europe feels too full, Romania is ready…
For clients looking for a European destination that still feels like a discovery, Rolandia Bespoke are here to share why Romania might just be the most rewarding place your clients haven’t visited - yet.
It’s no secret that, as travellers grow weary of overbooked capitals and overcrowded landmarks, a shift is happening in European travel. Privacy, space and authenticity have moved to the top of clients’ wishlists.
They still want the beauty, culture and locality of the continent, but not the version that comes with crowds, queues and tourist fatigue. They want something quieter, deeper and more personal. And that’s exactly where Romania shines.
In Rolandia Bespoke’s expert hands, this varied and beautifully under-the-radar country opens up into a curated journey of wild landscapes, fascinating culture and unique experiences that take your guests far from the tourist throngs.
Why Romania, and why now?
From crowd-free fairytale castles and ancient, bear-tracked forests to Belle Epoque stays, vineyard feasts and cities alive with creativity and old-world charm, Romania with Rolandia Bespoke delivers everything that travellers love about Europe - but untapped, unspoiled and refreshingly real.
Here are 10 reasons it belongs on your guests’ radar now.
1. A safe haven with a genuine warm welcome
Romania ranks among the top 30 most peaceful nations on the Global Peace Index - outranking many of Europe’s biggest names. There are no current travel advisories, and visitors are encouraged to explore freely.
But beyond the stats, it’s the people who make the difference.
Especially in Romania’s villages and smaller towns, there’s a natural hospitality that hasn’t been dulled by tourism - visitors here are greeted with generosity, enthusiasm and true warmth.
Add to that a young, English-speaking population (Romania ranks 12th globally for English proficiency), and you’ve got a destination where connection is easy, and travellers feel genuinely welcome.
2. Exceptional stays with no compromises
Wondering if Romania can match the expectations of your luxury clients? Rolandia Bespoke’s answer is a confident yes.
The country’s hospitality scene has quietly - but impressively - leapfrogged into modernity in recent years, blending heritage with high standards in a way that delivers polish with a genuine sense of place.
In the cities, the boutique luxury rivals anything in Western Europe, with hotels including The Marmorosch in Bucharest, an opulent 5* stay in a restored Belle Epoque bank, and the Epoque Hotel, a Relais & Chateaux property known for its intimate feel and fine dining.
And beyond the cities, accommodations are just as intriguing.
In Transylvania, Bethlen Estates pairs upscale rooms in restored Saxon buildings with personal chefs and curated cultural experiences - while the Zabola Estate, hidden deep in the Carpathians, offers guests the rare chance to stay on a private noble estate surrounded by ancient woodland.
Even in Romania’s most remote corners - like the Danube Delta - luxury isn’t left behind.
At Lebada Luxury Resort & Spa, guests enjoy 5* comfort on a secluded waterway combining total tranquility with wellness facilities, gourmet dining and outstanding service.
So whether your guests are seeking city elegance, rural romance or something off the grid without compromising on comfort, Romania and Rolandia Bespoke can deliver - quietly, beautifully and with its own unique flair.
3. Europe’s last wild frontier
For clients craving tranquillity, connection with nature or a sense of wild beauty untouched by mass tourism, Romania quietly outshines its more crowded neighbours.
This is one of the last truly wild corners of the continent, with over two-thirds of the European Union’s remaining virgin forests - dense, centuries-old woodlands that have earned Romania’s Carpathians the nickname “Europe’s Amazon”.
These ancient forests are alive with biodiversity: here bears, wolves, lynx, bison and countless bird species still roam freely, offering explorers a rare sense of awe and natural drama.
But Romania’s natural wealth isn’t just for adventurers. With over 1,300 mineral springs - around a third of all of Europe’s known thermal and mineral water resources - it’s also a deeply restorative destination; think fresh mountain air, forest-fringed wellness retreats and natural spa towns built around healing waters that have drawn visitors for centuries.
And of course there’s also the Danube Delta: Europe’s largest and best-preserved river delta, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This haven for birdwatchers, photographers and peace-seekers alike is a labyrinth of waterways, reeds and silence - where pelicans glide overhead and days pass in rhythm with nature, not timetables.
4. From Farm-to-Table to Fine Dining: Romania’s Culinary Renaissance
Romania’s food scene is one of its best-kept secrets—and one of the most delicious surprises for visitors.
In the countryside, meals are rooted in place and tradition. Many rural guesthouses serve true farm-to-table fayre, where everything on the plate - from sun-warmed tomatoes to hand-churned cheese and wildflower honey - comes from the garden next door or the village itself. Rolandia Bespoke can arrange experiences for your clients to delve deep into local communities, their agriculture and their gastronomy
In contrast, Romania’s cities are seeing a culinary awakening.
In Bucharest and Cluj, modern bistros, concept restaurants and fine dining spots are making their mark with creative takes on classic flavours - a new wave of chefs reinterpreting Romanian ingredients with the kind of international flair that has rightly caught the attention of foodies and critics alike.
And then there’s the wine - often overlooked, but quietly exceptional.
Romania is Europe’s fifth-largest wine producer, with a vinicultural heritage that stretches back centuries - and the award-winning reds and whites of regions like Dealu Mare, Tarnave and Dobrogea (including the robust and deeply characterful Feteasca Neagra) can hold their own against the best of Bordeaux or Barolo.
5. Rare Access, Real Connection: Bespoke Experiences without the price tag
One of Romania’s greatest luxuries is that here, exclusivity doesn’t have to mean extravagance - it means access, intimacy and authenticity.
Because Romania remains refreshingly under the radar, even top-tier experiences that would be prohibitively costly (or simply unavailable) in more saturated destinations are within easy reach with Rolandia Bespoke.
Imagine, for example, Corvin Castle, all yours for the evening - the gates shut behind your clients as they step into a world of flickering torchlight and vaulted stone. Led through the Gothic halls by a private guide in period dress, they uncover stories carved into centuries-old walls, far from the hum of daytime visitors.
Or picture Bran Castle after dark, the mythic outline of this home of Dracula lore lit from within.
Guests arrive for a private dinner served in one of its candlelit chambers; an unforgettable experience where Transylvanian legends meet real-world exclusivity.
Elsewhere, how about a hilltop picnic in the Carpathians with a private chef and no one in sight but your guests and the wild green world around them?
Or a village day spent learning traditional egg-painting, beekeeping or cooking a regional dish with local hosts - a chance not just to see Romanian culture, but to take part in it?
Rolandia have a whole host of exclusive experiences at their fingertips, each one designed to showcase Romania at its finest - not filtered through the lens of mass tourism, but lived and felt through one-of-a-kind encounters crafted for your clients.
