Škofije is quite small but offers a range of facilities. Casa Miranda is around 300 metres from the centre where you can find a supermarket, a pharmacy, an ATM... On the square, there is also a fish restaurant where every guest of Casa Miranda receives a 'welcome taster-plate'. We have also arranged other special surprises for our guests in the local bakery, cafe Renata, at the butcher's Alan and at the flower shop Deborah.
♡ Many of our guests like a holiday which combines relaxation with activities and discovery of natural and cultural characteristics of the area...
Casa Miranda offers an ideal location for anyone who likes days full of activities but when they return from a busy day, seeks an evening of peace and tranquillity.
The excellent tarmacked off-road cycling route Parenzana is located just 50 metres from the house. It takes about an hour of enjoyable cycling through green woodlands and vineyards to reach the port of Koper in the south or Trieste Bay in the north. Casa Miranda is also just a few hundred metres from the famous hiking path Alpe Adria which starts in Austria, continues through parts of northern Italy, crosses Slovenia, and then ends in Italy. Anyone who prefers swimming in the sea can visit beaches which are only 4.5 km away. Casa Miranda is also 8.4 km from excellent rock-climbing walls in Osp.
If you like discovering Mediterranean culture and architecture you can visit Trieste (14 km away), a splendid old city with a picturesque marina, numerous churches, Italian piazzas, and a castle. You can also visit the Croatian coast and Istrian peninsula, which are about 20 km away.
People who enjoy exploring nature or photography can find some wonderful views of the sea, vineyards and orchards with olive trees and figs, teeming with birds and wildlife in the local area. You can also explore tranquil Mediterranean stone villages or discover the beauty of a nearby Nature Reserve with river Dragonia at its heart.
