The pairing of two Istrian brands, whose common denominator is a high standard and dedication to quality, has resulted in a natural partnership in which Chiavalon products find their ideal setting.<\/p><p>Chiavalon extra virgin olive oil is part of the gourmet offering at the highly acclaimed<strong> Tekka by Lone<\/strong> restaurant within Hotel Lone, with which the brand recently launched a special edition olive oil, Tekka by Lone x Chiavalon, and introduced a new concept of Istrian-Japanese cuisine. <strong>The Chiavalon Olive Theory<\/strong> professional wellness line has also found its place within <strong>Grand Park Hotel<\/strong>, one of the most renowned luxury hotels on the Croatian coast.<\/p><p><em>&#8220;The collaboration with Maistra came about spontaneously, most likely because we share a similar approach to quality and to the experience we want to offer our guests. We are delighted that Chiavalon products have become part of such a premium hospitality environment,&#8221;<\/em> notes Tedi Chiavalon.<\/p><p>Chiavalon will soon be further expanding the<strong> Olive Theory line <\/strong>with new products, among which<strong> Advanced Hydra Plump Serum<\/strong>, <strong>Supreme Rejuvenating Serum<\/strong>, <strong>Silken Dry Oil Radiance Elixir<\/strong> and <strong>Refining Facial Micro-Polish<\/strong> \u2013 a facial micro-peel that restores skin texture and stimulates epidermal renewal \u2013 stand out.<\/p><p>Chiavalon products are available at the <strong>Chiavalon concept store<\/strong> within <strong>Hotel Lone<\/strong>, via the official website<a href=\"http:\/\/chiavalon.hr\"> Chiavalon.hr<\/a>, and through premium hospitality locations such as<strong> Grand Park Hotel <\/strong>and<strong> Valamar Pical Resort<\/strong>.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wellness-tretman_Hotel-Grand-Park-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wellness-tretman_Hotel-Grand-Park-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-191466 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px;
