Featuring fully equipped kitchen and bathroom facilities, elegant bedrooms, a cozy living room, and air conditioning throughout, this home offers everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Enjoy complete privacy in your own secluded garden, where you can relax with a glass of wine while taking in breathtaking views of the historic fortress, the stone rooftops of Počitelj, and the emerald waters of the Neretva River.

As busy professionals, we’ve found peace and inspiration in this unique place. Since we can’t spend as much time here as we’d like, we decided to open our doors to guests who appreciate history, beauty, and serenity just as much as we do.
Upon arrival, everything you need for a comfortable stay will be waiting for you. Just a few steps away, a friendly local contact is available to assist with anything extra you might need – whether it’s breakfast, medication, or simply a local recommendation.
Although we may not always be on-site, we are always available by phone or message and happy to help in any way we can. It is our goal to make your stay in Počitelj peaceful, authentic, and truly unforgettable.
