About us

Although, we provide variety for your Croatian holiday, we are also aware that guests may want space and privacy as well.

We also believe that the lifestyle we offer improves your health and wellbeing at our Istrian Retreat. This is your chance to remove yourself from the pressures of 21st-century life!

Together, we will give you a holiday that you will treasure. We hope you will return to ‘Transition ’ The Lifestyle Retreat in Croatia, and recommend it to others.

Leo and Mougli

Our other key staff members have passports too! We brought them with us from England. They are Persian-cross cats, brothers, and eleven-years-old.

Leo is a large ginger cat rather like 'Garfield' and Mougli is quiet and jet black. They are both very friendly and enjoy being on permanent holiday in Croatia.
