The house is situated in a very tranquil, rural neighbourhood in a small hamlet 4 km away from Grožnjan. Owing to its location on the green hills in the inland of Istria, a lovely cool wind blows often in the midsummer. Wherever you look, you are surrounded by green scenery. It’s the perfect place to take a break from everyday life.
Despite its peaceful position, the house offers an ideal starting point for trips. The seaside can be reached by car in as little as 20 minutes. The Istrian cities such as Motovun or Buzet, which were once Medieval hilltop strongholds, are not located a great distance away either. The closest convenience stores are found in the town of Buje.
The house is located on the Istrian “Olive Oil Trail”. The surroundings offer a great deal of culinary highlights like famous Istrian truffles, Boskarin veal meat, wild Istrian asparagus, locally produced wine and olive oil. The nearby gorgeous Medieval stronghold of Grožnjan is well-known as “a village of artists” owing to its numerous galleries. It addition, it has a good culinary offer. A Jazz Festival well-known among insiders takes place there each summer.
