Workshop venue hire in Bucharest
The main salons are set out theatre-style, with a screen and wireless microphones, for groups of up to 40 participants. The meeting rooms can be used at the same time for breakout work, so the plenary and the workshop groups do not get in each other’s way.
The villa hosts only one event at a time: for the duration of the training, the spaces you book are not shared with any other group.
The training room and its formats
- Theatre-style, up to 40 participants, in the main salons: plenary sessions, presentations, the opening and close of the day.
- Board and VIP, 10–20 people, in the meeting rooms: management training, strategy workshops, coaching sessions.
- The Premier’s Library, 8–16 people: a solid-wood library, hand-carved and built into the walls, for a group working on its own. See the room.
The format is confirmed together with the number of participants: a session at working tables needs more space per person than a theatre-style one. The same rooms host both conferences and workshops; for a presentation to an audience in the room, see the conferences page.
What a training day looks like here
The day begins in the main salons, theatre-style: the opening, the theme and the overview. Group work follows, in separate rooms. The groups then return to the plenary for presentations and conclusions.
Break times are set before the event, together with the programme for the day. Your dedicated event manager stays with you throughout the day, so that the logistics do not fall to the trainer.
Breakout groups in separate rooms
A workshop divides into small groups, and each group has somewhere to work on its own: the Premier’s Library and the meeting rooms, a few steps from the main salons, where the plenary resumes.
The meeting rooms take 10–20 people in a board and VIP layout: a working table, chairs around it and room for materials. It is the right format for a strategy workshop, a coaching session or management training with a small group. For a board meeting or a business dinner, see business meetings.
The Premier’s Library takes a group of 8–16: a secluded room of solid wood, books and quiet.
Multi-day training in Bucharest
The programme can extend over several consecutive days. A two- or three-day session can change format from one day to the next: a plenary in the salons, then group work, then a smaller session in the library. All the business formats the house offers are brought together on the corporate events page.
Breaks, lunch and the evening after
Coffee breaks and lunch are served on site, with premium catering and a bar run by professional staff. The menu is agreed together with the quote. If the day ends with a cocktail reception, the salons hold up to 100 guests and the 800 m² courtyard up to 150.
In the evening, once the programme is over, the Cigar Lounge can be reserved, with access from 18:00, for 4–12 people. In the same house, the Secret Poker Room and the Black Jack Room host social games, played without stakes.

The house where the course takes place
The building permit for the house was issued in 1935 for the family of Gheorghe Tătărescu, Prime Minister from 1934 to 1937 and again from 1939 to 1940, to designs by the architects Alexandru Zaharia and Ion Giurgea. Its style is Mediterranean with Neo-Romanian elements, and the building is a listed historic monument (LMI B-II-m-B-19435). In the salon, the fireplace is the work of the sculptor Milița Petrașcu, a pupil of Brâncuși; in the Premier’s study stands a Fichet safe that has not been opened for decades. EKO GROUP took over the house in June 2024.
The décor of the rooms comes from the collection of the Rădulescu Art Galleries: more than 15,000 pieces from the 17th to the 20th century. The guided tour “Art. History. Experience.” is booked separately: Monday to Friday between 12:00 and 17:00, and Saturday and Sunday between 12:00 and 19:00. Details and booking.

What organisers ask us
How many participants is a workshop or training session suited to?
A group can number up to 40 people, seated theatre-style. For work at tables the number is lower: 10–20 in the meeting rooms and 8–16 in the Premier's Library.
Can a training programme run over several days?
Yes. Send us the dates and the hours for each day, and the quote will confirm which rooms are available for the whole programme.
Can the groups work separately, in different rooms?
Yes. Separate rooms can be used for each group, in parallel with the plenary session. Tell us how many groups you have and how large they are, so that we can match the rooms to them.
How are coffee breaks and lunch arranged?
Tell us how many breaks you would like and whether anyone in the group has dietary requirements; the menu proposal comes with the quote.
What equipment is available for presentations?
You connect your laptop to the screens by screen sharing and use wireless microphones for the plenary sessions. What you bring and what we provide is settled before the first session.
How much does it cost to hire the room, and how do I get a quote?
Rates are on request. Send us the date, the number of participants, the number of days and the format you have in mind; the quote takes all of this into account, along with the duration and the menu you choose.
