Relax in the countryside, around the family sized pool, enjoying the views over the hill towns of Motovun and Groznjan. The garden has a corner for everyone. The house has been sympathetically restored and offers sleeping accommodation for up to 10 guests, so ideal for two families holidaying together. There is a large kitchen with space for 10 around the table as well as an outdoor kitchen with a gas BBQ and also a charcoal Weber as well as an open chimney for those who want to cook traditionally on wood. There are several balconies around the house for shade during the heat of the day and for an evening aperitif admiring the surrounding countryside. The house is fully air-conditioned with fan coil cooling units in every room. Every upstairs bedroom has mosquito nets for those who like to leave the windows open for the breeze, whilst downstairs all rooms have french windows that open out onto the gardens. The three upstairs bedrooms are all en-suite while there is a separate downstairs bathroom for the downstairs bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Coney

Host profile image
I am in my 60s and previously lived in London with my wife and two cats! We first came to Croatia in 2002 and in 2004 I spent six months here, getting to know the country and learning the language. As a consequence, we decided to buy a small house in a fishing village called Funtana on the west coast of Istria, where we have since spent many a happy summer. At the same time as buying the house in Funtana, we also decided to embark on a more ambitious project and purchased a derelict farmhouse in the countryside in a small hamlet called Baredine. We finished renovating the house in 2011 and in 2020 as a consequence of Brexit we decided to move to Croatia full time. We now rent the house out for the months of June, July and August at which point we travel around Croatia and the surrounding countryside before returning to the UK to catch up with friends and family. We have recently acquired two very sweet little additions to the family, the cats Mary and Mungo. They are permanent residents in Croatia and we hope you will enjoy their company during the summer. We would merely ask that you feed and water them during your stay, using the food we provide for them.

Why they chose this property

I more or less stumbled upon Baredine (it wasn't necessarily our "plan" to buy two properties here ..) however, I was drawn to its peaceful location and stunning views and six years later we finally got our planning permission to renovate and convert the farmhouse into a holiday villa. We are really pleased with the result - the house is lovely and light and spacious - and we feel very much at home here. We are both keen cyclists and Istria is great cycling country, providing both hills to challenge any budding "King of the Mountain" as well as flatter coastal paths for the more leisurely cyclist ...
We hope you will love Istria as much as we do, it's a land full of sun, sea and fine food - what more could one wish for!

What makes this property unique

Baredine is ideally located, just 15 km from the coast and also minutes away from the delightful hill-top towns for which Istria is so renowned. It's a very peaceful hamlet but still a working hamlet, with local farmers close by and a small olive oil press next door. Numerous vineyards and olive tree groves surround the village and there are various local wine and olive oil routes you can follow by car. We have also discovered a number of excellent restaurants in neighbouring villages, where the food is locally sourced and more often than not home-grown/reared.
