"Requies diei septimi" — the ideal of sevenfold beauty
The name Septimia comes from ancient Latin. "Requies diei septimi" — literally "the rest of the seventh day" — refers to the seventh day of biblical creation, when the Creator rested after His work.
The complex philosophy is the ideal of "sevenfold beauty": the charm of antiquity, the comfort of the present, the uniqueness of experiences. Guests are given every day the peaceful rest that the ancients tied to the seventh day of the week.
The meeting of modern wellness philosophy and ancient wisdom — in the heart of Transylvania.
