ARCHITECTURE
VIRTU creates a portfolio of one-of-a-kind, contemporary and culturally rich destinations for personal renewal and wellbeing that promises its clients distinctly world-class sustainable architectural spaces to become their best physically, mentally, and spiritually.
“I believe in growth and synergy between hospitality and wellness. A growth that is the fruit of market demands, but also of technical innovations, new lifestyles and creative opportunities. The result is an architecture capable of generating value, accentuating regional characteristics and improving the way we live and relate to ourselves and others. These are places destined to become ever-more part of our future, able to develop economic opportunities but, at the same time, to play a primary role: improving quality of life.”
Alberto Apostoli – Lead Architect of all VIRTU locations and projects
