Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Aqua ZelenaThe village of Sveta Nedelja is located just below a cave inhabited by Neolithic tribes in the ancient past and later became the home to an Augustinian monastery in the 15th century.

You should order prosciutto, cheese and other local delicacies when tasting the wines. Only remains of the ancient monastery can be found just below the peak of St Nicholas. The chapel still stands, and it is worth the 40 minutes climb up to see it and enjoy the views. The area has become a free climbing destination with its sheer rocky cliffs and stunning vistas. A small lavender and rosemary oil distillery creates the most divine scented oils that you can also visit. The new part of Sveta Nedelja is right next to a delightful sandy beach called Login Beach.
