Sustainability is our goal, and we have a water tank for collecting rain water, which is used for watering the garden. There is a bio-waste collector in the garden for compost production.

The property is perfect for those who seek to be connected with nature and to fully absorb the energy of plants, and the sun and stars. It's been soul rejuvenating for many who have stayed with us.

The size of the pool is 6.3m x 4.5m, and it is tiled with Sukabumi stone.

There is air-conditioning in all indoor spaces.

The ground floor of the house, which includes the living room, kitchen, bedroom and a bathroom, was thoroughly renovated in 2026.

I'm a charming house on a lovely Hvar island. I don't want to bore you with the technical information of my essence, though I can assure you I'm quite solid and no storm or tsunami will do me harm. I love nature, I cherish many wonderful plants and trees in my surroundings. I'm equipped with all kind of things and devices to make your stay more pleasant. I'm environmentally aware, I have corner to compost biological waste and I encourage my friends to care. I offer protection of the sun and I'll do my best to make my tenants feel good.
