House Donatela&Saša is situated in little town Draguć well-known as Istrian Hollywood.
Why Hollywood?
Due to the fact that many movies have been filmed here and numerous film stars have walked its streets Draguć has been for long babbled the name of – Istrian Hollywood.
Why Draguć?
Draguć because of its magical position, well-kept cultural and historical heritage (frescoes, church, cobbled streets), interesting details and its peaceful and safe surroundings. It is also known that in town Florence there are records of Napoleon's vacationing in Draguć.

A dreamy village in central Istria with a turbulent past, Draguć is a true survivor of past times. Originally the settlement grew around a medieval castle, which is almost impossible to decipher by looks of the village these days as parts of the castle are now completely assimilated into the later architecture of the village. The village is built with a main road leading uphill to the village square. The village has several beautiful churches well worth a visit. The village entrance is marked by the church of the Lady of Rosary, dating back to 17th century, and St. Elisha church from 12th century. St. Elisha is a Romanesque church built with stone blocks, and sporting 13th century frescoes. Another church, the St. Rocco, sits on the north side overlooking the central Istrian hills. St. Rocco was built in the 16th century, and has over 100 beautiful paintings by Antonio di Padova.

This is an ideal place to escape from everyday life, urban crowd. Great for families with small children, artists, lovers, nature lovers and for all people who are looking for a relaxation and rest. The area is very known as a truffle place, and a truffle hunt as well, which guest can join. Nearby are towns of Motovun, Buzet, Pazin, as well as the smallest city in the world Hum, Kotli waterfalls, caves, nature park Učka. All more touristic places on the coast are just 45 minutes drive away from Draguć (Poreč, Rovinj, Umag, Novigrad, Labin, Rabac). All our guests can order extra facilities such as homemade breakfast, lunch, dinner, visit to winemakers and olive oil makers, and many many other.

TRUFFLE HUNTING - truffles are a group of underground fungi with a very specific taste, which are considered the ultimate in gastronomy. They grow in the very heart of Istria, in the damp and grey soil of the forests near Buzet, close to the Mirna river. This hidden treasure is found with the help of specially trained dogs.

Wundervolle Familienfreizeit
Wir (8 Erwachsene) haben den Aufenthalt in der ruhigen Mitte Istriens sehr genossen. Der Garten mit dem herrlichen Ausblick, dem Pool und der perfekten Aussenküche hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Um an die Küste zu fahren benötigt es auch in der Hochsaison nur ca. 50 Minuten. Würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Family vacation
Draguc is a hidden gem not far from many sites in Istria. It is very quiet and the house has amazing views and a beautiful garden! It was perfect for our family of 9. Our hostess was close by for any questions. We were fortunate to be there during their procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi and were able to join in and enjoy meeting some of the citizens.

Sehr erholsamer Urlaub in ruhiger Gegend.
Wir waren im August mit zwei Familien (7 Personen + Hund) im Ferienobjekt. Die Ferienwohnung ist in zwei Apartments aufgeteilt, welche mit allem was man benötigt (Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine, Kaffeemaschine, etc.) ausgestattet sind. Die Vermieterin war super nett und hat uns regelmäßig mit kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten in Form von selbstgebackenen Pfannkuchen, Weintrauben aus eigener Ernte, Schnapps, erfreut. Auch wenn mal etwas nicht funktioniert hat (Toaster defekt) wurde sich seitens der Vermieter sofort gekümmert um das wieder in Ordnung zu bringen. Ein Traum ist der zum Objekt gehörende Garten mit verschiedenen Sitzgelegenheiten, einer Outdoorküche und einem Pool. Bei einem herrlichen Blick über die Landschaft haben wir so manchen Abend entspannt ausklingen lassen. Kurzum, es war ein herrlicher Urlaub, gern wieder.

wunderschönes Häuschen!
Ein tolles Häuschen in einem sehr ruhigen, gemütlichen Ort. Die beiden Wohnungen sind sehr gut ausgestattet und der Garten ist einfach ein Traum! Von Draguc aus sind fast alle Ziele in Istrien innerhalb von einer guten Stunde mit dem Auto erreichbar. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden gerne einmal wieder nach Draguc kommen! Vielen Dank noch einmal an unsere fürsorgliche Vermieterin!!!
