We enjoyed the recognition from Top Hotel Awards and felt really happy as we have put a lot of soul in our story, Törzburg Mansion, receiving it as recognition as well. But beyond that, we’ve put our heart into this story with the hope that this industry may reborn, that the positive local examples, good practices now at hand for anyone, here, in Bran, or in any other place from Romania, can generate change.

The story of Törzburg Mansion begins in 20017 when we got back in Bran and started to bring to life our dream to build a different boutique hotel. We know that to rebuild is much harder than building from scratch, but we believed that we can bring back to life an old mansion in Bran. Together with Victor, the architect who accepted our challenge, we worked for almost a year to create a unique place. We put our heart in each detail to be able to create the complete experience in Bran.

Our belief is that life is about moments. This is what we are trying to do here, in Bran, through a complete experience, to give moments to each guest that crosses our threshold.

Törzburg Mansion’s story is about freedom, about the joy of living each moment and about the power to believe in a dream. We have succeeded after hard work made with love to build a different boutique hotel. By this “different” we understand a high standard accommodation experience, a restaurant where you can eat carefully prepared dishes (lots of the dishes on the menu are unique in the area) and drink awarded drinks. And there is something more! This “different” is also about people, about their desire to make impeccable things, to make a really welcoming atmosphere, to smile and be lively at 5 in the morning as well as at 12 at night, when the guests come or go. And last but not least, this place is different by concept, by the attention with which we created the interior design, the terraces, restaurant, and lounge, that we have harmonized with our belief and values.

We didn’t write all these things to brag. We want to show you that behind any well-done thing there is a tremendous effort, a long term plan, and a bald vision. There is no other way or else you won’t be able to create something that lasts.

Our many years of experience in international tourism tells us that it isn’t enough, that Romania needs more than a contest like this one, more criteria, better curators, harsher judgment. This endeavor mustn’t come to an end when the awards gala is over. It is not all about the show and lights. All this effort is about bringing to light the Romanian tourism. To do that we need a plan, cooperation and especially the individual ambition to make things not just good, but impeccable.

Life is about moments

Dear reader, we don’t know what were your expectations when you pressed the button towards this page. We don’t know what story you wanted to read, but we hope that it is not a waste of time and that our story will be able to at least make you believe more in your dreams and power.  

We use the plural because we are two – Mustafa and Raluca. We believed in the story of Törzburg Mansion and we brought it to life. From the very beginning you should know that our life is under a simple creed rendered in a syntagm already too often used in our days – life is about moments.

Connecting the dots

Looking towards the past, we understand now that Törzburg Mansion Story is something that comes from our childhood. We both had a childhood full of joy, games and play, freedom and bloopers. This joy of cherishing moments may have come from there. My (Raluca’s) childhood is connected to Bran, Brașov and the surroundings. Here I spent my childhood and here was formed the woman I am today.    

It was not a coincidence that we both have studies in tourism area. This creed that life is about moments led us towards a career in tourism, an area where the moment matters, where people take refuge for a short period of time after a long period of work. I (Raluca) graduated Manchester Metropolitan University with a Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality –  and I continued my studies graduating Master of International Business in Hospitality Management – Cesar Ritz University – Switzerland. Here, not by chance all the students embrace the same thought of Ritz family – “People create memories, not things”. That is a statement by Simon Cooper, chairman of Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.

As soon as we have finished the specialty studies, we started to feel what “life is about moments” means in tourism. For a (cumulative) period of 40 years I managed to make beautiful moments for millions of tourists as I worked in five stars international hotels: Sheraton Dongguan China, Sheraton Ankara Turkey, Royal Caribbean International – luxury cruise line, Ramada Mersin Turkey, Tugcan Gaziantep Hotel, Knidos Resort Marmaris Hotel, Cappadocia Dedeman Hotel, Royal.

Törzburg Mansion

I had for long time this dream of building by our creed and imagination a place of perfect experiences. This dream started to came to life in 2017 when we returned to Bran and started the story of Törzburg Mansion. It wasn’t easy. For a year we put brick by brick to create what today is Törzburg Mansion. We chose to rebuild an old manor from Bran and together with Victor, the brave architect who accepted this challenge, we worked assiduously throughout 2017. We knew it is harder to rebuild than to build from scratch, but we haven’t imagined that we will work with such intensity. After more than one year from the first actions on the site, we have reached the day when we speak about opening. The joy is huge and the eagerness of opening the gates, of giving moments to those who stop in Bran amplifies it.   

This year of endless work to give wings to a dream was the most important in our lives so far. With a lot of passion, maximum of stubbornness and the perfectionist spirit of the architect, we worked to create a unique place in Bran. We fought for very detail, for those the guest can see, feel, hear or doesn’t even imagine. Our purpose was to build a complete experience in Bran in order to give unique moments of fulfillment. The real joy is the one that lasts and goes beyond pleasure. Through everything we built at Törzburg we sought to offer the perfect frame to live a joy that lasts. 

Seen from outside, our story, the one of Törzburg Mansion, is about freedom, about the power of believing in a dream and about the joy of living every moment of our lives. There are a lot to say. We promise to tell everything to all those who cross our door and are curious to find out our story.  

Life is about giving

Dear reader, you should know that we are days before officially opening our doors. We are excited and happy and we write these lines thinking that if you really believe in something, you will definitely manage to fulfill your dream. Thank you for reading these lines and we hope to see you soon in Bran and to speak face to face about the joy of giving moments.
