Giving Back
1% of every direct booking is donated to the Real Pearl Foundation (Igazgyöngy Alapítvány) in Hungary.
A small, consistent commitment built into our hospitality.
Helping Children Dream
Giving back is built into our hospitality: 1% of every direct reservation supports the Real Pearl Foundation.
In 2017, we helped arrange a visit to a Papal Audience, where children from the Foundation met Pope Francis and gifted him a painting they had created. It remains one of the most meaningful moments we’ve had the honor to support.

Supporting Underprivileged Communities
As business owners, parents and global citizens, we believe responsibility extends beyond our work. Supporting the next generation is part of that commitment.
Through our giving back initiative, we support the Real Pearl Foundation, a non-profit operating in one of the poorest regions of Hungary. Its mission is to help end child poverty through art, education, community development and social entrepreneurship.
The Foundation started with providing artistic education, reaching today 670 young students each year. Since 1999 they’ve developed an opportunity-creating model that aims to improve the quality of life in communities living in generational poverty and the opportunities for children growing up there.
The SZUNO project — meaning “dream” in Romani — is a core pillar of this system. The Social Enterprise produces handcrafted textiles, wooden objects, and food products while providing paid work and skills training to young people from the surrounding community. The program also offers summer employment for teenagers, supporting independence at a formative stage.

Our Giving Back History
Our relationship with the Real Pearl Foundation began shortly after we founded TreasureRome. From the start, we wanted the company to operate with embedded social responsibility.
The foundation’s work – rooted in art, education, and long-term community presence – resonated with our own belief that meaningful change happens slowly, through consistency rather than gestures.
Since 2016, TreasureRome has supported the Real Pearl Foundation by donating a portion of revenue from every direct booking to its projects in Hungary.
As our partnership deepened, so did our involvement. In 2019, together with members of the international hospitality community, we launched a fundraiser to support the creation of a permanent art summer camp for children. The initiative included exhibitions, shared experiences, and contributions from guests and partners who believed in the project. Although the campaign was interrupted by the global pandemic, the commitment did not stop.
In the years that followed, donations continued supporting the construction and completion of the summer camp in Surány, a small village along the Danube. What began as an idea gradually took shape through patience, persistence, and collective effort.
In August 2024, the art summer camp officially opened.
Today, it stands as a place where children are welcomed each summer to create, learn, and belong – supported by educators, artists, and a community that believes in their future.
Our way of giving back has evolved, but its essence remains the same: long-term partnership, transparency, and care. A belief that hospitality can extend beyond the walls of a home, and that every stay can quietly contribute to something larger.
Thank you for being part of that story.
