After three years he returned to Lumbarda and upgraded new part to his father's house. In 1928. he opens a pension called "Lumbarda" - which was owned by his father Ante Lipanović, our grandgrandfather. At that time Ante and family were able to accommodate 20 people. All guests had full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner. The latest and our dearest cook was Kata Lipanović, our mother and grandmoth
er. The menu was usually overflown with Dalmatian Traditional dishes like “pašticada”, “gulaš” and fresh fish. Twice a day water was brought to the rooms for washing and brushing teeth. Our grandfather was taking his guests on a boat ride around the little island just as we do now with our guests. :) The oldest guest books were not preserved, but we can keep track of who is coming here on holidays since 1958.: mostly Germans, Austrians, Slovenians and local guests. In 1980`s we transferred our little pension to four Apartments and we are continuously trying to improve them every year. We hope to see you here with us! Pinta`s
