Hello! I’m Božo, the host of Svetli Raj. I was born in the 1970s and I live in the beautiful village of Pavlovec Pregradski, in the heart of Hrvatsko Zagorje. I am passionate about growing biodynamic vegetables, without chemicals or artificial fertilizers. Guests are welcome to freely explore our garden and pick fresh seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs – perfect for cooking enthusiasts or anyone who loves tasting nature’s true flavors, straight from the earth to the plate. I love meeting new people, sharing stories and experiences, enjoying nature, and cooking – all of which you can experience here at Svetli Raj. I built this estate with the help of a community to create what I call a Paradise on Earth. The concept of the estate was inspired by one of my trips to the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It’s hard to put into words the peace and freedom you feel here – it simply must be experienced. My message to every guest is that whoever comes here will feel and live freedom, leave a piece of themselves behind, and take a piece of Paradise with them. Welcome to Svetli Raj!

Estate Svetli Raj is located on a hilltop in the picturesque region of Hrvatsko Zagorje, in the town of Pregrada, just a few minutes from the Slovenian border. Thanks to its unique position, the estate offers a 360° panoramic view of rolling hills, vineyards, and forests, making it a true oasis for those seeking peace and natural beauty. Surrounded by greenery and unspoiled landscapes, Svetli Raj is the perfect starting point for hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers.
