Although I come from a long line of olive growers, it was only when, after having lived and
worked in Zagreb for several decades, I returned to my native island of Hvar that my love for
olive cultivation was sparked. I continued my family’s tradition and took over the care of 60
old trees. After I had groomed the neglected fields, I erected an olive grove with 300 young
olive trees of the oblica and levantinka variety.
Today, my family cultivates 850 olive trees in Bogomolje, Dol and Milna. Over time, working in the olive grove became my way of life, and I
soon opened an oil mill and tasting room in order to offer guests a different kind of tourism –
one in which they would be able to enjoy pristine nature and fully savour the flavour of the
extra-virgin olive oil that we offer.

The Garden of Eden (Rajski vrt) is located in Bogomolje, a small village located
in the eastern part of the island of Hvar. Our location is accessed by narrow village paths that offer
stunning views of karst landscapes and the sea, fresh breezes and occasional encounters with farm
animals. Make sure to drive slowly so that you can take in every kilometre, knowing that something truly
special awaits you at the end of the road.
