Croatia

Reset Croatia: Luxury Through UnderstandingReset Croatia is a thoughtfully designed journey for travelers who want to experience the country slowly, comfortably and with a genuine sense of place. Rather than moving hotels every night or rushing through a long checklist of sights, this trip allows you to settle in, breathe and enjoy Croatia at a more natural pace.The journey begins in Zagreb, Croatia’s elegant and lively capital. Here, contemporary city life blends with historic architecture, hidden courtyards, local cafés and stories that reveal a side of Zagreb many visitors never discover.From the capital, we travel into the countryside of Istria, where we stay for several nights near the beautiful medieval village of Svetvinčenat. Our home in Istria offers the comfort and atmosphere of a restored stone estate, giving us time to truly settle into the region. From this peaceful base, guests may explore hilltop towns, vineyards, olive groves, truffle country, Roman heritage and the coastal beauty of Rovinj and Pula. The experience is shaped by local food, wine, traditions and the people who call Istria home.The second half of the journey takes us to the Adriatic coast, where we board our luxurious floating hotel, M/S Stella Maris. For five nights, the ship becomes our boutique home as we travel through Dalmatia. Instead of repeatedly packing and unpacking, we wake in new harbors and enjoy islands, historic towns, sea views and relaxed evenings aboard. Our route introduces the maritime culture of places such as Vis, Korčula, Hvar, Split and Trogir, with opportunities for walking, swimming, sightseeing and e-bike exploration.Most importantly, this is your vacation. Every included activity is optional. You may join the day’s excursion, explore independently, enjoy a quiet morning, read in the courtyard, linger over a glass of wine or simply relax on the deck of Stella Maris.Reset Croatia is about slow travel, meaningful experiences and comfortable discovery. It offers the freedom to do more when you feel inspired—and the permission to do absolutely nothing when that is exactly what you need.

The Good Detour Through Bosnia picks up where Croatia leaves off - a thoughtfully paced, seven-day small-group journey that crosses from Split into the heart of Bosnia and Hercegovina before returning to Zagreb. Travel through Mostar, Sarajevo, Konjic, Visoko, Kreševo, Jajce and Banja Luka, discovering medieval royal history, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian heritage, dramatic landscapes and living traditions. Along the way, explore historic towns, visit Tito’s secret bunker, meet local artisans and share a home-cooked dinner and wine with the Matekalo family. With carefully chosen hotels, meaningful encounters and time to explore independently, this journey reveals a warm, surprising and deeply personal side of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This tour is for food and wine lovers who want to see behind the scenes.   We will tour four regions of Croatia, offering different types of food and wine, visit wineries, olive groves, and hunt for truffles, while experiencing the beauty and culture Croatia has to offer.
