I'am person who is already more than 17 years in hotel industry ,worked on a different position and different roles in industry .
During those time i spend lots of time meeting different people ,different cultures and countries.
As a person who did travel all around world playing role as a guest I was always looking for some unique experience .So person who is working in hotel industry on a different position and as a guest I decide to make something unique ,authentic , natural , ecological , material for construction , food , e.g.
Project started 8 years ago when i first planted olives
And i planted just 365 threes ,number enough to be cultivated just by one person ( by me) to be effective ,to be most productive as possible .
Olive orchard is grown and cultivated by using methods of biodynamics - Rudolf Steiner ,point is my first step was to be in positive direction ,as a small producer I can't be competitive with big producer ,but i can produce much more quality product .

Stone house
Idea was to build house using stone as a main material for construction from many reason .
One of the reason it is material used through centuries in south part Croatia - Dalmatia.
Stone is material which is very durable , and perfect for insulation during hot summers ,for example if out side temperature is around 35- 40 celsius ,inside temperature is always around 21-25 celsius,so there is no need for air conditioner .
Stone as material is expensive in a short time period but in a long period cheeper for almost 20%-31% - reason is temperature balance ,no paintings , e.g.
To be unique and competitive on a tourism market ,I build house just 26.77 m2 , and it perfect for two persons, but suitable for for persons .
Energy solution
In area where I live sun insolation is around 2500 hours per year ,so photo voltaic panels are great choice ,so with a help one of my friend we did calculations and we installed system 1 kw of power ,we used the best MPPT regulators , top gel batteries (victron energy ),and all the lights in the house are led ,tv,stereo ,hair drier,fridge all electric devices are A+++ grade .
System is designed to be in work for seven days without sunlight .
Hot water
It was one of my main issue but we managed it also .
We have thermo solar water heater with out pump which is producing 150 liters of hot water for more than 6 months in a year ,for the rest of the year I installed gas boiler which we are using during winter time .
Fire place
Fire place is not just regular fire place ,we have two of them ,one is bigger one and is located in front of the house ,and the second one is inside in a living room .fire place is used for heating and in a same time we are using it as a place for grill and for making our traditional food preparation called UNDERBELL.
Water
Below the house is basement and water cistern .
In my area you have to be responsible with water usage and we have cistern with 32 000 liters of fresh water ,and we are collecting rain water and using it also .
We are growing all the vegetables ,tomato ,baby bean ,artichokes e.g.

When you connect all of those parts and connect it in one structure you are getting one extreme great product ,and I call it OLIVE GARDEN PALJKA .!!!
So the people who are traveling ,and we are calling them tourists are the one who are looking for something real ,new ,productive ,traditional ,unique, and in a same time acceptable in financial terms.
And one more thing we are place TO LOG OUT ,,,we don't have broadband internet and we will never have it!!!!!!

Olive Garden is situated on 10 000 m2 of land in country side, but just 3 km from first beaches in the area where city like Zadar is 22 km ,Split one hour driving ,there are three national parks KORNATI ,KRKA ,PAKLENICA , airport is 15 min. distance .
