Meet Petar - the face behind the service at Vila Rova.

For Petar, hospitality has never been just a job. Growing up alongside Vila Rova, surrounded by restaurant service, conversations about wine, and the daily rhythm of the hotel, he learned from a young age how warmth, attention to detail, and genuine service shape the guest experience.

Today, as the Restaurant Manager, he brings years of experience from Croatia and Austria, having built his career through all levels of service—from waiter to managing Restaurant Vila Rova.

After completing his degree in gastronomy, he further specialized in wine and wine pairing, earning his Sommelier Level 2 (HSK) certification. This winter, he honed his service skills at the Noel restaurant in Zagreb under the mentorship of Kristijan Harjač. The next step? Sommelier Level 3.

What brings him the most joy is creating experiences that keep guests coming back—because of the atmosphere, the attention to detail, and the feeling that they have arrived at the right place.

Upoznajte Petra - lice iza servisa u Vili Rova.

Za Petra, hospitality nikada nije bio samo posao. Odrastajući uz Vilu Rova, uz restoranski servis, razgovore o vinima i svakodnevni ritam hotela, od malih je nogu učio koliko toplina, detalji i iskrena usluga oblikuju iskustvo gosta.

Danas, kao Restaurant Manager, iza sebe ima godine iskustva u Hrvatskoj i Austriji, a svoj je profesionalni put gradio kroz sve razine servisa - od konobara do vođenja restorana Vila Rova.

Nakon završenog studija gastronomije, dodatno se specijalizirao za vina i wine pairing te je završio Sommelier Level 2 HSK, a ove zime usavršavao je servis u restoranu Noel u Zagrebu pod mentorstvom Kristijana Harjača. Sljedeći korak? Sommelier Level 3.

Ono što ga najviše veseli je stvarati iskustva kojima se gosti vraćaju - zbog atmosfere, pažnje prema detaljima i osjećaja da su stigli na pravo mjesto.
