Our Story
Sofia and Matei met during a summer evening in Bucharest — both guests at the same rooftop dinner, seated at opposite ends of the table. By the end of the night they had talked for three hours straight, completely forgetting everyone else around them.
What followed was two years of weekend escapes, slow mornings and shared dreams. When Matei surprised Sofia with a trip to Lake Como, she thought it was just a holiday. He had other plans — on the terrace of Villa Toscana, overlooking the lake at sunset, he asked the question she already knew the answer to.
