A place to rest

If you are looking for a place to rest, you've just found it here – totally different from where you live. Here, a bird concerto will lullaby you to sleep, a nightingale bel canto will wake you in the morning; you will learn the difference between the call of little owl and the whistle of blackbird; if you take a short mountain trek you will see eagles nesting up in the mountain peaks.

The azure of the Kaštela Bay will enter your room and rest on your eyes as soon as you open them in the morning while still in bed. And when you come out of the house, no, you will not step on the packed avenue, but on the green grass of the lawn and garden and pick your tomato (and water it in the evening if you wish), cut some parsley or check olive trees and their fruit that will be processed into that divine oil you found in the kitchen.

You can take a walk in the shade of 400 olive, almond and oak trees. You morning aperitif – grape brandy, herb-flavoured brandy, walnut brandy, plum-brandy or a premium wine – will not be served by a bartender in a cocktail lounge where you only just managed to find the parking place. You can take it yourself from the wine cellar, enjoy it under your pine tree and listen to a goldfinch singing from above ....
