Our property in Jopi lies right at the edge of a quiet village and is a lovingly restored farmhouse that was fully renovated in 2015. It consists of an old farmhouse that sits under the shade of a huge Ladonja tree on one side, and a huge modern living area and kitchen on the other.

Outside boasts a custom-built grill area and private pool set amid a beautifully designed, large garden with lawn perfect for children to play in.

Upstairs there is a vast master bedroom with privateterrace, large shower room and separate mezzanine TV area as well as an ante-room that can be used as an over-spill sleeping area.

Downstairs there is a double and twin bedroom sharing a large shower room that are set off the large open plan kitchen and living space, as well as indoor and outdoor dining areas that could comfortably accommodate a large dinner party.

The property has Wi-Fi and air-conditioning in the living area and master bedroom. The downstairs bedrooms benefit from the natural, dark cooling nature of the old stone farmhouse but there are also fans available for the really hot nights.

This characterful property is full of charming traditional features including original beams and stone niches. It was fully restored in 2015.

The house

On the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen and living area as well as separate dining area with a dining table sitting 10-12. There’s a spacious seating area in front of the large open fireplace with two enormous sofas and other comfortable stools with a great selection of board games.

The dining area is set in the beautiful and cavernous entrance hall with an almost floor to ceiling window looking out to the pool and garden.

Off the kitchen area are the double and twin bedrooms, set apart from the living area with a small corridor so no need to worry about noise waking the early-to-beds.

Off the mezzanine and TV area on the first floor is a small ante-room with pull out bed that leads on to the huge master bedroom. The large shower room has a wonderfully designed, and powerful, walk in shower. The ceiling sports beautifully restored and painted beams.

Tucked under the eaves, the huge master bedroom has a double bed (160 x 200 cm) and an en-suite shower-room.

Outside

A semi-indoor dining and grill area is set just outside the large sliding doors to the garden. From here you can get a 180 degree view of the garden, pool and surrounding forest and fields.

Across the path is a swimming pool (32 m2) and terrace with wicker seats and umbrella. The grass between the old, recovered olive trees has room for six sun loungers.

Just outside the front door, to the left, is the laundry room with washing machine, clothes racks, and a large fridge/freezer (there is no freezer inside the house).

There is private, off-road parking at the end of the garden for two cars.

    Beautiful home with fantastic spaces and amenities. The pool is a great size and the garden is very relaxing. It’s a great base from which to explore Istria with local food producers on your doorstep and towns such a Rovinj and Labin within easy reach.

    Not only ist the house and the inventory extremely beautiful and the surroundings perfect for a relaxed holiday, we really appreciated also the welcoming little things like the milk and wine in the fridge, the extra towels, and the well equipped kitchen. Thanks so much for that perfect holiday.

    We loved our spacious and luxurious farmhouse. It was perfect for our family holiday. Peaceful and serene, with many birds and fragrant plants. Comfortable and well-appointed. Communication with Paul (the owner) and Djuliana (caretaker) was seamless. We even had a a sample of Djuliana’s dad’s excellent produce and wine! They were warm, kind, and helpful. The area is easy to navigate with everything you could want within easy striking distance (beaches, cultural spots, even wineries and the excellent Doma restaurant in walking distance!) Parking is a little tight with unforgiving stone walls, but you’ve always wanted to practice your 15-point turn, right?All in all, a wonderful stay. We were very sad to leave.

    We stayed for a week and thought that the house and location were ideal, we could get to anywhere we wished within 30mins and we really appreciated the surrounding peaceful countryside. So beautiful inside and out. Many hours were spent in the pool with a very handy outside shower. Indoor had everything you could ever need to prepare food and provide comfort. Would recommend to anyone, very pleased with our choice, and the host was extremely helpful and informative.

    The minute we walked on the property we fell in love. Gorgeous farmhouse that has been upgraded to the highest standard. The outside space with the pool and the quiet setting was so relaxing. The inside space is very spacious, clean and so well appointed. We didn’t want to leave the villa! Waking up early and listening to the quietness of the countryside was everything we wanted. The location was great as it was about 1/2 hour to many different towns. The host was very helpful and responsive. The on line listing is completely on point, in fact, the pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful experience we had. We hope to be able to come back one day.

    If you do not come for Croatia, you come for this property, garden, and pool. If you do not come for that you come for the luxurious kitchen and fire place that makes every evening a relaxing experience. Than their are great books and comfy sofas. Enough room for you your family and friends. There is also a outdoor grill and seating with a beautiful view of the pool and garden. Count the sheep next door or the olive trees in the garden to come down. A nice little wood nearby for a little evening stroll, a great restaurant and cafe in walking distance. Parking space for two cars, washing machine, oven, dishwasher, air conditioning, floor heater, fridge everything you could need. Griceriey shops in 5-10 minute driving distance. Two very forthcoming gentle souls that take care of the house and garden and are at your aide whenever you need them. In short, we had a splendid time. Just coming here to relax and reset. You really do not have to leave the house if you do not need to but if you do it is a great place to come home to after a day of experiences and discoveries in Istria. This is a gem we would like to return to … and if it is only for the comfy evenings in front of the fireplace.
