A magic house in the peaceful nature of Istria
I booked this beautifully restored house because it looked somewhat different than other nice places one could find in the area. From the first moment we've arrived and entered the house I was absolutely in love with the place. The owners mother, a very nice lady, showed us around and offered us a welcome drink served in her mothers old small glasses. When we were left alone I spent at least an hour moving from room to room admiring the details and the combination of old furniture, natural materials with a modern design. Every thing is so well thought trough. My favorite view among many is the one from the kitchen window to the garden. This house enables you to enjoy your holiday regardless of the weather being outside or indoors. The swimming pool is long and the view from the garden around it is phenomenal. We were staying there in the end of october so we used sauna and jacuzzi a lot. You can stay at the property for days without wanting to move or decide to visit nearby Grožnjan, vine cellars, restaurants, seaside,.. If you wish owners can provide you with bicycles so you can explore the little hills around you. The last day we stayed there we've had a barbecue and were quite sorry we had to leave. We have visited quite a few nice places but this one is on the top of my list where I wish to come back to in the future. I definitely recommend it.
