Đedovina

The rural household "Đedovina" is located in the area of Grahovo which sublimates all the benefits of the Mediterranean culture due to the proximity of Boka Kotorska and the hot Montenegrin karst with all its geomorphological forms. The household depicts the life of the ancestors through a significant number of old photographs, tools and especially through the 30 years old stone house in which guests are welcomed. Everything that awaits you on this property will help you transport yourself to a bygone era and times when people cultivated the land and gathered around the fireplace recounting the daily events.

The household is primarily engaged in the production of organic fruits, vegetables and honey. There are also arranged plantings of various vegetables: nettles, onions and garlic, spinach, chard, collard greens, beets, cabbage, arugula, potatoes, herbs. You will experience the richness of aromas and tastes when your host introduces you to the colorful garden to pick the fruit yourself and taste it on the spot. If you are interested, there is work to be done on the property from early spring to late fall. You can participate in preparing the land for planting, plant vegetables, water the land and clean it during the summer, and in the fall you can pick delicious fruits and make sweets, jams, juices, salads, brandies, liqueurs...

The host will proudly tell you about the rich history of this region and guide you to visit important cultural and historical monuments of Montenegrin history. You can get to know the Grahovo field by walking or biking. If you visit the farm in the summer, the beautiful Grahovo Lake is nearby. We recommend swimming in the clean lake and enjoying the view of the trees of the centuries-old forest that surrounds it.
