Summary/Abstract: In today’s context, the potential of rural sites, especially in the region of Muntenia, is far from fully exploited. The theme of this project is the conversion of the Perticari-Davila estate from Izvoru village (Argeș county) into a retreat destined for relaxation and escape from urban space. The research aims to discover how a rural cultural heritage resource can become the key to regenerating a contemporary community. The subject is topical, especially considering the phenomenon of the urbanization of villages and the city residents’ increased interest in rural areas.
