Surrounded by three other stone houses, this self-standing beauty was the biggest in the zaseok (hamlet), with an ancient walnut tree marking the village centre where daily gossip was exchanged and decisions made by the families that lived here.

The house has two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a sofa-bed in the living room downstairs. Designed both as a family and two couple destination, its many private corners and two large terraces offer privacy and seclusion with a large kitchen and open fire place offering an ideal meeting place for breakfast and dinners. In the winter, heated stone floors ensure comfortable evenings in this sustainable and atmospheric Istrian environment.

With the addition of a salt-water pool (9.5m x 4.5), surrounded by smooth stone flagstones, wooden decking and grass, the house offer an opportunity for a perfect, secluded home from home. The property blends superbly with the surrounding hues of green and beige, creating a harmonic atmosphere.

Unlimited wireless internet – switch it off if you need a real holiday or come and work all year round from a tranquil and secluded Istrian spot!

Extras: yoga mats, organic bio-dynamic, locally grown, seasonal vegetable delivered to your doors!

Bicycles and bicycle maps are provided, allowing the possibility of short rides to the centre of Gračišce, as well as longer, scenic rides to surrounding villages such as Žminj, Pićan and Pazin. Istrian cycle roads are among the favourite by-ways in this part of Europe, both for recreational and professional cyclists. Part of the Giro d’Italia was driven through Istria.
