位于罗马尼亚巴克乌Dărmănești的房产，其建造年份没有精确标注，很可能是在1913-1914年之间。施蒂贝宫（Stirbey Palace）坐落在海拔600米的高地，与四周的如画美景融为一体，该建筑由建筑师Nicolae Ghika-Budesti设计，由意大利工匠建造。建筑师Ghika-Budești热衷于把昔日的罗马尼亚建筑发扬光大，具有强烈的个人风格，融合了瓦拉几（Wallachian）建筑和摩尔达维亚建筑的特色。他的建筑特征是喜用面砖、搪瓷、在门窗上嵌入新哥特式框架、建造修道院式的塔楼、马蹄弓、运用“锯齿”装饰和几何图案。
这座来自Dărmănești的宫殿占地4500平方米，横跨四层楼——地下室、底层和楼上两层，还有一个半圆形的露台。附属建筑占地约1500平方米。宫殿附近设有水盆，该建筑仍在使用当地保存完好的昔日供水系统，最古老的是在Bacu县，那里的水是从将近8公里远的山上引下来的。
乔治王子在第一次世界大战中死于斑疹伤寒，在他早逝后，伊丽莎白带着两个女儿Sanda和Marina在Dărmănești度过了人生的大部分时光。她总是在五月来到这里，带着两个女儿和她们的家庭教师、司机和女仆；她甚至曾经从国外带来了一整个团队，其中包括管家和厨师。她会在这里住到9月份，期间不停地款待络绎不绝来访的亲朋好友。
Dărmănești宫的皇家贵宾包括罗马尼亚的伊丽莎白女王和玛丽女王，她们都曾经身着民族服装在这座宫殿的花园和住宅内拍照。玛丽女王曾在自己的日记中这样描述伊丽莎白施蒂贝：“伊丽莎白是一位美丽而温婉的女性，天生丽质。她很有品味，喜欢漂亮的东西，是一位真正热爱乡村生活的女性。"玛丽女王在1926年8月访问施蒂贝宫时，记录下了关于这座宅邸的一些其他细节：“Dărmănești拥有我所渴望的一切。这是一栋位置优美、花园富丽堂皇的宅邸，设计品味和理念都堪称完美。它有一些我从未见过的东西，非常奇妙，巨大的花坛，几乎像花园里的槲寄生田，成百上千的花朵成群地盛放，那景色真是太华丽了，而且宫殿中四处装点着花朵，它们被精心摆放在大花瓶里、种在花盆裡和插在罐子里。再也没有比这更壮观的宫殿了[...]。房子也很漂亮，设计也很好。“
修复工程始于2014年，历时三年，力求修复和保存尽可能多的原始物品。实木楼梯被保留下来——每一平方英寸都经过仔细的清理和修复。原来的实心橡木木工也被保存下来。为了满足当代生活的舒适性要求，原始玻璃窗被更换为双层玻璃窗，但保留了原有的橡木窗框，总共有1000多扇窗户被逐一翻新。意大利风格的钢百叶窗（这是罗马尼亚的独特建筑元素）也有望被保留下来并修复一新，从前，这些钢制百叶窗可以在遭受敌军围城的情况下保护宫殿内部。这些钢百叶窗均已经过清洗和重新喷漆。宫殿还保留了原来的外墙——砖块被翻新，以保留建筑师Nicolae Ghika-Budesti的独特风格。
宫殿内配有法国和佛罗伦萨家具，宫殿中展出的绘画包括17世纪的珍贵艺术品，均是有意大利、法兰德斯和罗马尼亚艺术家落款的真迹。得益于这些巨大的努力，今天我们才能够欣赏到这样一栋独一无二的罗马尼亚建筑遗产珍宝，并带领它展开一段新的旅程。这座宫殿可以被改造为一家拥有40间客房的酒店，提供丰富多彩活动、美食和水疗设施，或者作为最精致的私人度假胜地。

The year of construction isn’t precisely noted, most likely being somewhere between 1913-1914. Situated on a highland at 600 m altitude and integrated in the picturesque landscape, the Stirbey Palace was designed by architect Nicolae Ghika-Budești and built with Italian craftsmen. Architect Ghika-Budești was a promoter of old Romanian architecture, with a personal style, a synthesis between Wallachian and Moldavian architecture. Specific for his constructions are the use of face brick, enamelled ceramic, the insertion of neo-gothic frames at doors and windows, the tower of monasterial inspiration, the horseshoe bow, the "saw teeth" decoration and the geometric motifs.
The Palace from Dărmănești, with a surface of 4500 sqm, is disposed on four levels – basement, ground floor and two other floors, with a semicircular terrace. The annexes occupy approximately 1500 sqm. Water basins were built near the palace, and the buildings had a water supply system that is still preserved, the oldest in Bacău County, where water is brought from the mountain from a distance of nearly 8 km.
Following the early death of Prince George, who lost his life due to typhus during the First World War, Elisabeta will spend most of her time at Dărmănești with her two daughters, Sanda and Marina. „She used to arrive here in May, with her daughters, governesses, chauffeurs and maids; she had an entire team brought from abroad, which included butlers and chefs as well. Until September she received here visits from relatives and friends.”
The Royal visitors at The Dărmănești Palace include Queen Elisabeth of Romania and Queen Marie of Romania, photographed in national costumes in the garden and inside the residence. Queen Marie invokes Elisabeta Știrbey in her notes: "Elisabeta is a beautiful and mild woman, born Băleanu. She has good taste, she likes beautiful things and is a real country life loving woman." Queen Marie records some other details about the residence, with the occasion of her August 1926 visit: "Dărmănești is everything I expected it to be. A house with a beautiful position and a splendid garden, designed with perfect taste and concept. It has something that I have never seen before which is fantastic, enormous flower beds, almost like fields of garden mistletoe, hundreds and hundreds of flowers in huge groups, absolutely gorgeous and also its home is full of flowers arranged in large vases, pots and cans. Nothing can be more spectacular [...] The house is also beautiful and well designed.”
The rehabilitation and restoration started in 2014 and the process took three years and sought to restore and preserve as many original items as possible. The solid wood stairway was kept – every square inch was cleaned and restored. The original solid oak carpentry was saved as well. To meet the current comfort requirements, the glass was replaced with a double-glazed window, but the original oak wood frame was preserved. The total of over 1000 windows have been refurbished one by one. It was possible to preserve and restore the Italian-style steel shutters (unique elements in the country), which had the role of protection in case of a siege. These were cleaned and painted. The façade is the original one as well – the bricks were refurbished to preserve the particular style of architect Nicolae Ghika-Budești.
The space was furnished with French and Florentine furniture, the paintings exhibited in the palace include valuable works of art from the 17th century, signed by Italian, Flemish and Romanian artists. Due to this great effort, we can today savour a unique piece of jewellery of the Romanian built heritage, ready to start a new journey as a 40 rooms hotel with events, cuisine and spa facilities or as a most exquisite private retreat.
