It extends on two floors: the ground floor houses the kitchen, dining room, living room completed with the fireplace and exit onto the balcony, and the toilet with a shower. On the first floor there are two double rooms, one single room as well as the bathroom with the balcony overlooking the swimming pool and garden.

Surrounded by pristine nature the house stands in the vicinity of wine yards, olive groves and orchards, giving you the unique chance to taste homemade Istrian traditional food, local wine, olive oil as well as the world renown truffles. This is the ideal spot for those who love nature, walks, hiking and cycling, especially along the famous Parenzana track. Here you will find peace, tranquillity, relax with your friends or family and fill your batteries ready for new challenges.

    Wonderful property, amazingly clean and cared for, with all the amenities needed. Great host and excellent communication. Very peaceful location in the countryside. Need a car to access and to explore the region. Would stay at the property again in the future, and Istria is an amazing location to explore.

    It was fantastic and our host very friendly. a good location to make visits to different citys and the coast especially when the sun goes done and it gets cold enough to leave the pool in summertimes.

    Exceptional property - very spacious, very clean, felt we were the first people staying there. Excellent facilities and they all worked.  Property had a premium feel. Recommendations - reserve table on the small terrace at the local in restaurent as Sovinjak, 30 min walk. Pula - better shopping than Porec and Piran and not as touristy. Better all round I thought. Treated to wine and Olive oil from Brigita as well as loads of veg - our host was very attentive. Area very quiet and tranquel.

    This renovated old natural stone house is very beautiful and offers sufficient space for a family with 3 children. The house's appliances/equipment are modern and everything needed is available and in good working condition. The air condition is a bit special though and it takes a little while to get used to how it functions. But it cools reasonably well. The house is tastefully furnished, with care for details. The children enjoyed the swimming pool a lot. The house is located in a very beautiful, scenic landscape. The location is very quiet and perfect to relax and to take a break from a stressful work life. There are many beautiful little villages to visit in the area (15-30 min. to reach by car). It takes about 45 min. to 1h to drive to the coast. The landlord, Mme Brigita, is a lovely, caring and responsive lady. It is very easy to communicate with her and she was always available to provide any assistance. We will always keep fond memories of our stay in her house and will certainly come back at some beautiful time in the future!

    This is a wonderful house in such a peaceful spot with lovely mountain views. The house was well-equipped and beautifully renovated. We especially enjoyed the pool. Thank you Brigita for the fresh produce, and your very own olive oil and wine. What a special touch!

    The cottage is an absolute gem, in a very scenic landscape. The house, pool and garden has all the facilities you need, and is very well maintained. Brigita is the best host we have ever visited, and we will be back again. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. 5 stars are not enough!
