A dream born from the heart

Since 2025

It all started with a life-changing decision. After undergoing heart surgery, our father realized it was time to slow down and find a new way of living through nature.

That moment gave birth to this family project: a place where we use the natural resources of our land to share meaningful experiences with those who visit us. We are not a commercial company, we are a family opening the doors of our home.

“Here you won’t find the luxury of a hotel, but you will feel the warmth of being at home. That’s what makes us special.”

At the beginning of 2026, we take our first steps into the digital world. Come and be part of our journey, and enjoy the simplicity and humility that only a family-run business can offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our horseback riding tour

No prior experience is required. Before the tour begins, the guide will explain how to handle the horse, which is very simple and easy to learn. The tour is suitable for beginners, including people with no previous riding experience and children.

Yes, the tour is fully suitable for children. We recommend an age of 12 years old for kids to ride on their own horse. However, the final decision is always up to the parents, and children may ride independently or together with an adult.

Yes. Children who ride on their own horse pay the full tour price. If a child rides together with a parent, there is no additional cost for the child.

The tour is very safe. All horses are well trained, calm, and gentle. Most of the trails are easy and relaxed, which makes the risk of accidents very low. Guests are accompanied by a guide at all times during the experience.

During the tour, you will enjoy beautiful landscapes including forests, rivers, and open countryside. You may see domestic animals and, with some luck, local wildlife. The tour includes stops at locations chosen by the guests, and we highly recommend stopping near the rivers to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The horseback riding tour is planned to last approximately 2 hours, including safety instructions and the route itself, always at a relaxed pace. However, guests control the rhythm of the tour. Depending on how many breaks or photo stops you choose to take, the tour can be extended and last longer.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing, long pants, and closed-toe shoes such as hiking shoes or boots. Sunscreen and insect repellent are highly recommended. We also suggest bringing extra clothing, especially if you plan to stop near the river.

The tour operates normally in rainy conditions. In fact, we consider riding through the forest while it is raining to be a unique and special experience. The environment becomes more peaceful, and the landscape looks completely different, making the tour even more relaxing.
