Croatia is a Mediterranean country of amazing nature, rich history and smiling faces. With more than 1200 islands, islets and coves, it’s amazing coastline is a true paradise. Once you fall in love with Croatia, you will keep coming back year after year.
The island of Brac where our retreat centre is situated is one of largest Croatian islands with one of the most beautiful beaches in the world– Golden Cape (Zlatni rat), the tallest island’s hilltop – Mount St. Vid (Vidova gora). The history of Brac starts not far from your retreat centre, in 3. millenium b.C.
Major quarries, where the famous Brac building stone is excavated, are located near Pucisca, Selca, Postira, Splitska and Donji Humac (this kind of building stone was used in the construction of the White House in Washington and the Palace of Diocletian in Split).
The enchanting village of Humac, first mentioned in 1305, has all its 200 inhabitants living of olives, grapes and stone for centuries. The numerous stonemasonry workshops amazing artistry is spread all around the village. After a week in Humac, we dare you to say the stone has no soul.
