Beautiful place to stay, surrounded by great people, lovely animals and peaceful nature. The work was always manageable, alongside I learned a lot about animals and gardening. Looking forward to come back. Vidimo se.

These few weeks at the farm were one of my greatest experiences. Simona and Josip do everything to make their host feel at home. They are kind, caring, we eat well and we laugh a lot. The work is not that complicated and the working hours vary greatly from day to day. I will remember these countless hours spent outside, these sunsets, the galloping horses, Viki their daughter, the pizzas cooked by Josip (the best pizzas in the world), the hike on the Biokovo mountain with Simona... simple moments and always in joy. There are thousands of reasons for me to come back to see you. HVALA !!!

This was my first experience with worldpacker. I was very well received by Simona and Josip, they made us feel at home, willing to take us to see some tourist attractions and even take photos of us with the horses 🫶🏼. The food is WONDERFUL. About work: be prepared for heavy work, most days we help Josip with repairs and construction on the farm. The only thing I could say is that we ended up not spending much time with the horses, probably because of the weather, which didn't help much (because it was winter). But otherwise everything was incredible!!!. I would recommend this experience!

Beautiful experience. the farm is surrounded by the greenery of a magnificent village. I recommend checking it out on Instagram. Josip, Simona, and Viki are excellent hosts, always available for anything. We learned a lot. I suggest everyone to go there to disconnect from everyday life and return to living in a simple way.
