At our retreat in Croatia we compost all fruit and vegetable waste and feed other food waste to local dogs, cats, pigs and chickens. We take our own shopping bags to avoid using plastic carrier bags. We have fitted oxygenated water taps and showers. Our water is metered and we ask guests to be aware of water conservation. Our toilets have long and short flush options.
Water pressure is reduced in the showers. We have a water tank to collect rainwater for watering the garden. We have put up boxes to encourage birds to nest and rocks and flowers for butterflies and insects.
We reused as many materials as possible in our renovation and plan to rebuild another house in our garden using original stone and some of the reclaimed beams we will restore and protect. We have used old roof tiles in our rebuildt original stone walls and gravel for our drive.
In our village we are totally integrated and neighbours love to show our guests wine making and their farm animals. We offer help with their grape harvest in September and ask guests if they would like to help out too.
We encourage guest to cycle or walk the many routes in and around our area.
We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
