Rokovi dvori, a recently finished complex in Trbounje near Drniš, is one of the most beautiful examples of rural stone architecture in Croatia. The construction of this representative complex began two years ago on the location where the original stone houses collapsed. The four deserted stone houses were joined in a unique complex, and faithfully restored on the outside to the last detail, from the existing original stone. On the inside, the spirit of tradition was respected, but the facilities and offering have been adjusted to the needs and desires of contemporary life.
The amazing stone buildings are surrounded by a 320-metre stone wall, and special focus was given to the horticulture. Pre-grown grass rolls, for instance, was brought in from Slavonia. The entire estate was constructed in close cooperation with conservationists and experts for the protection of cultural monuments, with the maximum respect for the original state of the houses. The top notch stone complex now offers all necessary comfort in the interior. It also features a vineyard, a pool and a tennis-court.
With their size and luxury-level, Rokovi dvori are far superior to similar facilities in Istria and are meant for the foreign market. The luxury facility can accommodate a dozen people at the same time, who can have 480 square metres at their disposal. The house can only be rented in its entirety, and the idea is that besides accommodation, guests are offered a complete service, from someone picking them up at the airport to constantly meeting their desires, including a driver and a skipper for attractive outings.
Rokovi dvori is located at the very entrance to the Krka National park, and nearby are the Krka Monastery, the Franciscan monastery Visovac, the Skradin buk, while Šibenik, Vodice and the most beautiful Croatian water cascades – Manojlovac cascades, are all located within 20 kilometres. Within an hour's drive, one can easily get to the national parks Plitvice, Paklenica and Northern Velebit. Also within arm's length is the sea and the Kornati archipelago, where fishing-enthusiasts can enjoy in big game fishing, while in the hinterlands of Rokovi dvori the mountain Promina ascends.
