The beauty of the place, the sunshine of the riverbank, the paths between the vineyards and the hospitality impressed our friends.
I love to travel and have my antennae open for special sights and moments on these journeys. Over the years, as I have returned to the bank from various journeys, I have seen more and more of what is special here in Svečina.
And I'm not the only one, there are three of us in the family who have noticed this and put our heads together to keep the family thread alive and to extend and offer the tradition of gathering on the shore to others.

There was a house in which people were shaped and the crafts developed. Great Grandmother and great grandfather, a seamstress and a tailor, had two sons. Both of them were drafted during the second world war. Only one of them returned, the shoemaker.
On the hill, together with a girl who was learning to become a cook, he made a home for the whole family with a small orchard, vineyard and fields. They had three daughters. One of them drew the thread of the family tradition into clothes designing, the other nurtured the cooking and the gardening tradition and the third one transformed her designer's streak into words, decoration and cookery. The children of the daughters – with the help of father and uncle, who brought the skills of building trade from his family - joined and from the roots of the old house on the hill drew the thread to this moment.
