Our story

Founded by Perina and Frane Matijević many years ago, The Fisherman’s House has been a cherished retreat for travelers seeking an authentic countryside experience. Today, their son Tonči, alongside his German wife Lisa, continues to nurture and expand upon their legacy, while their daughter Perina now oversees operations as the third generation of the family. With a multilingual team fluent in Croatian, German, English, and Italian, we ensure seamless communication and hospitality for our guests.

The story of The Fisherman’s House dates back to over fifty years ago when the first foreign visitors stumbled upon this idyllic haven. Back then, Tonči’s father, much like Tonči himself, was a fisherman and farmer deeply rooted in the land. In those pioneering days of tourism, guests were embraced as honorary family members, a tradition we proudly uphold to this day. Our commitment to authenticity means that the food served at our table is sourced directly from our fields and the bountiful Adriatic Sea, with wine drawn from our vineyards, crafted with care just a year prior.
