Discover Our Estate
A peaceful natural setting in the heart of Gromača, sheltered by centuries-old oaks and laurel bushes.
The Estate
The estate is set in a peaceful natural environment, sheltered by centuries-old oaks and laurel bushes, in the very heart of Gromača. Here is the old hearth with a stone hearth and threshing floor, where delicious treats are prepared in the old-fashioned way and prosciutto is dried traditionally.

Wine Cellar & Olive Oil
The wine cellar holds countless secret recipes poured into drops of red and white wine and a wide range of homemade brandies and liqueurs. Here also rests the 'liquid gold' — extra virgin olive oil from ripe olives bathed in sun and sea.
Stone Konoba
The story ends in the old stone konoba where all the senses enjoy. At the home table in the idyll of the old home, feel the trace of times past!
