About the host
Hosted by Jasminka and Irena Stanic

Pruhari is the birthplace of our ancestors. They built these houses with their own hands. It is an old familiar place. We think of Pruhari as a spiritual, aesthetic, and anthropogenic landscape, as well as the self-evident, existential frame of our family.
Completely out of personal and familiar ambitions there exists an idea of wider enrichment of the entire region and community through revitalization of the village, in the sense of sustained development. We spent the last 23 years and all of our savings in restoring the houses in the village, and we are very proud of such a job, because it was the village of our ancestors and we saved it from disappearing and being forgotten.
This traditional village was constructed by our ancestors 100 years and more ago, entirely of stone, and is adorned with characteristic balconies, under which lie well-cooled wine cellars.

Why they chose this property
Pruhari arose in the mid-19th century, but the chapel on the nearby hill originates back to 1555, proven by the Glagolithic title on the entrance. We live in privacy, neighbored only by vineyards, olive groves, and truffle-rich forests. The wines, and the olive oil in particular, are first class, as are the truffles, a rare and valued mushroom.
What makes this property unique
The villa makes an ideal base to explore Istria with lovely towns and coastal resorts, all within short distance .This is an ideal place to escape from busy life , big cities. Great for families with small children , nature lovers and for all people who are looking for a relaxation and rest.In this small and unique region, one glimpse will uncover an entire abundance of luxurious diversity; from a snowy white Ćićarija winter, to an aqua blue sea, to the greens of the vineyards.With it medieval towns/villages, festivals, stuning verdant scenery, breath-taking coast,seafood and rustic cusine, the Istrian peninsula offers something for everyone.
