About Us

Meet the couple who bought an abandoned century-old homestead in a sleepy hamlet in Montenegro and turned it into a little paradise showcasing circular and simple living.

Alexandra and Scott share a deep curiosity for the world, which has shaped their paths in unexpected ways. Alexandra’s journey, sparked by a love for cultural exploration, has taken her across various continents, where she discovered new perspectives and creative opportunities. Along the way, she co-founded the NGO Zero Waste Montenegro, reflecting her passion for environmental sustainability.

 

Scott’s adventurous spirit led him to explore over 70 countries, eventually bringing him to Montenegro, where he felt a strong connection to the land. With a commitment to sustainable living, he founded one of the country’s first ecotourism companies and later developed a craft gin brand. Together, they continue to embrace a lifestyle rooted in respect for nature and community.

 

Look deep into nature, and you will understand everything better.

This quote from A. Einstein couldn’t be more true. We have learned so much since we spend our days outdoors, from how everything work with each other, to the subtle changes in the ecosystem throughout the seasons, we don’t stop learning and still have so much to learn!

One thing is sure. It changed us. It made us realize how important it is to slow down, to enjoy everything we do, to treat even the smallest bug with great respect. To appreciate what nature gives us, what it teaches us. It is a beautiful experience that we love sharing with our visitors.

Alex and Scott were amazing. They were so welcoming and quickly made us feel at home. They really went out of their way to show us the beautiful local sites and invited us to social events with their friends. We really enjoyed our time and couldn’t think of a more authentic way to see Montenegro. Thanks so much for having us!!

 Highest recommendation. Scott and Alex are incredible hosts. Both Scott and Alex have a range of experiences and endless stories to share, they’re hard workers and their ambition is infectious. The food was all incredible and our music nights were nights I’ll probably never remember but I’m sure I enjoyed. The views from the property are quite incredible, many layers of rolling mountains can be seen for miles.

Alexandra and Scott were fantastic hosts throughout our stay, we enjoyed many great meals both inside and out by the fire on a nice evening. They made every effort to give us a true Montenegrin experience – we learnt about local history, food, Rakija, the country as a whole and much more.
