Description
My family and I are renovating our old stone houses in a peaceful little place on the peninsula Pelješac. The houses are old for about 250 years and are built only of stone and wood.
The roof is covered with a tile that is characteristic for the Dubrovnik area and which is no longer produced anywhere in the world. The original old tile I took off from the roof, cleaned and returned back on the roof.
Renovation is in line with how they are built with as few new materials as possible. Me and my family wish to renovate those houses for us and tourist whose value nature and peace.Types of help and learning opportunities
GardeningDIY and building projectsGeneral MaintenanceCultural exchange and learning opportunities
The place where the our houses are located is where people live from their work on land and sea in an old forgotten way. Pelješac is known for its olive oil production and red wines, and everything from the sea is finally found on the plate. Peljesac is just a few kilometers from Dubrovnik - famous cultural and tourist destination.
