About this property

The small house made of stone of granny Maria is located in the small carsic village of Podpeč, in the slovenian Istria. Built in the XV century under the Kraški rob and renewed in 2000.
In her three rooms there is enough space up to four persons, in a perfect environment for the lovers of beauty, nature and culture of our ancestors.
The quietness, the vegetation and the flowers surround this "sleeping beauty".
Furnished with care in an old way (poor art) with handmade pieces coming from different places we love (Istria, Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia, Sicily,...); the combination of modern and restored objects make it comfortable and nifty.
The big garden, equipped with chairs, table and sunbeds is perfect to enjoy a good meal or just relax.

A wonderful visit!

My wife and I travel often and we have never received a more warm and hospitable welcome than from Neva and her husband. The house is amazing, built in the 1500’s and nicely updated. The location is convenient to explore the area and in a small cute town high on a hill. We made new friends during our visit and it was one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend if you are looking for a central home base for a few days and would like to meet some wonderful people.

Unterkunft, Top Gastfreundschaft + Paradiesgarten inklusive!!

Ein absolutes Muss für Naturliebhaber. Kroatien und Italien gleich um die Ecke und supertolle Radwege entlang der slowenischen Küste. Wandern in den nahegelegenen Bergen auch sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr freundliche Vermieter.

Ein absolutes Juwel in Slowenien

Die lange Suche nach einem besonderem Ferienhaus in Slowenien hat sich gelohnt. Unser Aufenthalt in dieser wunderschönen Landschaft, in diesem einzigartigen Ferienhaus war traumhaft. Das Gastgeberehepaar hat uns schon unten an der Straße erwartet und uns den Weg zum Ferienhaus gezeigt. Nach einer kurzen Einführung zum Haus, hatten wir Zeit unsere Sachen zu verstauen und schon stand ein ganz leckeres und vor allem landestypisches Abendbrot auf unserer Terrasse. Neva und Alfio gaben uns gute Tips zum Besuch der Sehenswürdigkeiten in der näheren Umgebung und ruhigen Strandabschnitten. Zum Meer fährt man mit dem Auto eine halbe Stunde, so dass es sich lohnt auch am Abend nur mal schnell zur Abkühlung dorthin zu fahren. Wir waren tagsüber meistens unterwegs und haben am Abend die Stille auf dem Dorf und um unser Ferienhaus herum sehr genossen. Das Haus selbst ist mit einer außerordentlichen Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und es ist alles vorhanden, um einen unbeschwerten Urlaub dort zu verleben. Liebe Neva, lieber Alfio, habt ganz herzlichen Dank für die interessanten Gespräche, eure Tips und das leckere Obst und Gemüse was ihr immer ganz heimlich für uns hingestellt habt. Wir haben lange noch nicht alles bei euch entdeckt und kommen gerne wieder :-).

Le charme naturel Slovène

L’adorable maison de Neva et Alfio est décorée avec beaucoup de cœur et d’âme Elle est pleine de vaisselles anciennes et d’objets pittoresques qui ont ce charme de « l’antan ». Sur son flanc, une jolie terrasse de pierre où nous avons passé de merveilleux repas et petit déjeuner. Le magnifique jardin, surplombé d’une tour fortifiée, est plein d’arbres fruitiers, de plantes odorantes ( sauge, sauge ananas, marjolaine, thym origan, mélisse …) et de fleurs. Au fond, la vue sur les coteaux de vignes et la mer adriatique au bout est splendide, idéale pour y voir de somptueux couchers de soleil. Neva et Alfio nous ont fait bel accueil, avec des denrées pour le petit déjeuner du lendemain ( café tisane biscotte confiture maison ) ainsi que le tout premier repas du soir, préparé et offert par nos adorables hôtes particulièrement attentionnés. Nous apprendrons à les connaître au fur à mesure du séjour et allons faire une merveilleuse rencontre. Ils nous ont fait découvrir leur beau pays au travers de leur conseils avisés. L’emplacement idéal du gîte nous a permis de sillonner ce magnifique pays, de la côte et ses villages typiques a la capitale Ljubljana, ses châteaux et grottes, mais aussi la Croatie et ses villages perchés. Nous ne pouvons que vous conseiller de venir à la rencontre de ces deux généreuses personnes, de profiter de leur gîte à l’ambiance d’antan et d’y vivre comme nous, un moment hors du temps, apaisant pour le corps et l’esprit dans ce cadre verdoyant.
