The setting is quiet and peaceful. It’s a nice drive if you have a spare afternoon. Our tour guide Luca was funny and informative. We purchased olive oil for home.
Dear TacomaBader, It was a pleasure having you with us! We’re delighted that Luca helped make your visit memorable, and we hope you’ll enjoy your choice from our selection long after your time here. We’d be very happy to welcome you back again! Best wishes, Stella team
Our family of 4 adults did the standard museum tour and paid for the additional olive oil tasting experience. While some of the reviews are correct in describing the museum isn’t technically a museum, it does provide interesting information about the historical and current approaches for growing, picking, processing olives and producing different kinds of olive oil in Croatia. But by far the highlight was the tasting experience which was an enjoyable and informative activity. Ines was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. Some additional advice is to visit the incredible Klis Fortress before or after visiting the Olive Oil Museum.
Dear lekker-doring, thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re especially happy to hear that the tasting added something special to your visit and that Ines made the experience enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome your family back to Stella Croatica in the future! Best regards, Stella team
We did the olive oil tasting at Stella Croatica, led by Luka, and it was excellent. Luka was fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging and really good at explaining everything in a way that made it interesting for all of us. Even the kids loved it and came away understanding much more about olive oil and what good olive oil should actually taste like. The setting is beautiful, and there are lots of other goodies to discover too. We were able to taste and try plenty of the different products before deciding what we wanted to buy, which was great. We ended up leaving with quite a lot! What we particularly appreciated was that there was absolutely no hard sell or pressure to buy anything. A really enjoyable experience and definitely worth visiting.
Dear BackPacker102436, thank you for taking the time to share such kind words! We’re delighted to hear that your visit was enjoyable and that Luka helped make it a memorable one. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another taste of Dalmatia soon! Best regards, Stella team
Great place. The tour guide by Luka was top notch. Recommended
Dear nicknamea2026, thank you for your recommendation! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit, and it's wonderful to know Luka made such a great impression. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. We hope to welcome you back to Stella Croatica soon! Kind regards, Stella team
A brilliant tour and amazing guide in Petra, who was extremely kind, polite, funny and knowledgeable. The place is immaculate also and the products amazing.
We had a great time. The lunch was one the best I've had on tour. The Olive museum was fun. The shop was great, I wish I had picked up more soaps. The staff treated us so very well. I only wish the website was easier to purchase more from them.
Dear kevinvX6445WS, thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is especially gratifying to hear that certain products left such a lasting impression. We also appreciate your feedback regarding our website and will take it into consideration as we continue improving our guests’ experience, both on-site and online. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards, Stella team
A great museum for a day trip. Very informative guide and tour and a lovely shop where we bought lots of produce but wasn’t overpriced at all! Excellent quality of products and great tha we could try everything before we bought it! Hvala!
Dear emmylou46, thank you for your kind words and for spending your time with us. We’re really glad you enjoyed the overall experience and made the most of your visit. It means a lot to us that you chose to take a piece of it home with you. We hope to welcome you again in the future! Kind regards, Stella team
Our visit was not planned but as it was included with the Klis Fortress entrance ticket, we gave it a go and enjoyed it. We were individual visitors but tagged along with an organised group's 30 minute tour through the factory, gardens and museum, the latter of which was very interesting - I'll never evaluate olive oil in the same way again! Not being on a formal tour meant we could take our time. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the tour finishes at their shop - I guess this is the main reason they host visitors - where you can buy the products. There's no obligation but we were persuaded by a couple of items and if you have an hour to spare and are interested in flora and food, I'd suggest giving it a go.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it interesting, especially the part about olive oil. It’s great to know our team made a positive impression with their friendliness and knowledge. We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again! Kind regards, Stella Croatica
This is not a museum at all It’s an store with an small rooms with some olive oil facts The tasting is just bottles of olive oil In the counter They shouldn’t charge money for this
Dear Alejandra, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience following your recent visit. For over 20 years, we have been producing traditional delicacies, all handmade in our factory located inside the experience center. Admission to the entire center, including the museum, is paid as it is privately owned. Visitors can explore Dalmatian heritage through various stages of the visit, such as the museum—which consists of two rooms and was recognized by the Council of Europe as a finalist for the European Museum of the Year Award in 2023—as well as the production line, botanical garden, distillery, and our restaurant serving local cuisine. Our products are crafted by hand rather than by machines, making each one a unique and authentic local creation that we take great pride in. Our concept store consists of one large room where guests are welcome to try most of our products for free, with no obligation to purchase anything. We are sorry if there was any misunderstanding and you expected only a museum visit, as the museum represents just one part of our broader concept designed to help visitors discover the story behind our products. Warm regards, Stella Team
Very educational and incredibly sympathetic guidance with tasting. A beautiful garden and very dear people. Highly recommended!
Dear lissig2014, thank you so much for your wonderful words. We are happy you enjoyed the guided tour, tasting, and our garden. It means a lot to us that you felt welcome, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. Kind regards, Stella team
