Eine besondere Wohnung

Das ist tatsächlich ein schönes und stilvolles Appartement. Ein Highlight ist die Dachterasse, von der man über die Dächer bis zum Meer schaut. Vodnjan selbst hat durchaus Charme; es ist nicht unmäßig viel los, aber es gibt schönes Gassen und nette Cafes. Die lge von Vodnjan ist gut, da man schnell am Meer ist im Westen (uns gefiel Peroj besser als Fazana) oder auch im Süden in Pula, Nordwestlich in Rovinij oder ganz unten auf der Halbinsel Karmanjuk. Die Kommunikation mit Tessa und vor Ort ging prima.

Perfect base for exploring Istria....

The property met our needs perfectly as a base for a two week exploration of Istria, somewhere we knew little about beforehand. Its position overlooking the main square gave us a good chance to 'get under the skin' of a small Istrian town where locals were in the majority. A hire car, though, also allowed us to visit the many and varied coastal and inland attractions that Istria boasts - and several, including early Fazana and Rovinj, we liked so much that we made multiple visits. Vodnjan itself has a relatively small number of restaurants and bars but there is definitely enough to keep you going when not doing 'road trips'. The Vodnjanka restaurant was definitely the best option, although booking is advised. We were lucky enough to be have our holiday coincide with several events and festivals in the town plus a few (free) concerts in small buildings or the 'open air cinema'. Your first port of call should be the Touring Info office (also on the main square) - they were very helpful in explaining what was coming up in and around the town.

Great accommodation, atmospheric location

We have loved our stay at Castello, it's been a great base for exploring the nearby towns and coastline. We loved Bale, especially the Kamene Price jazz bar and exploring the streets of Vodnjan itself. A trip to Chiavalon olive oil producers and Stancia Buršić (local ham producer and restaurant) are worth a mention, we were welcomed warmly at both. We were without a car but we were able to take a day boat trip up the coast to Lim Ford, Vrsar and Rovinj which was lovely. Über has been a bit of a lifeline here - it's about a 1/3 of the price of a normal taxi and as such, we were only too happy to tip the drivers. On a more earthly note, it was great to have a washing machine on the premises and we really enjoyed the roof terrace. It's been lovely talking to people, tourists and locals and we've loved being here. Having spoken to lots of friends and colleagues at home, Croatia is becoming more and more a destination of choice. I'd come again before the whole world hears about it. Thank you Tessa. Best wishes Miriam and Abby

Sehr schöne Wohnung in historischem Ambiente im Zentrum der bezaubernden Altstadt von Vodnjan

Sehr schönes Appartment, geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Die Wohnung befindet sich im Zentrum des Ortes. man hat einen wunderschönen Blich auf den zentralen Platz, den höchsten Kirchturm Istriens und die Dächer der Altstadt. Trotzdem ist die Wohnung sehr ruhig gelegen, es gibt eine schöne Dachterasse. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, alles vorhanden was man benötigt. Eine perfekter Ausgangspunkt für das Erkunden von Istrien in fast alle Richtungen. ein Cafe ist direkt am Haus, ebenso auf dem Platz ein kleiner Supermarkt und diverse Bäcker in der Umgebung. Der Ort ist bekannt für das beste Olivenöl Istriens, so kann man hier viele Öle von lokalen Anbietern finden. Man kann nicht vor dem Haus parken außer zum Be- und Entladen, Parkplätze sind dann ca. 5 -10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Dafür gibt es keinen störenden Autoverkehr. Wir würden jederzeit wieder gerne unseren Urlaub hier verbringen.

Schön und authentisch

Ein Urlaub in Istrien ist oft von Touristenmassen geprägt. Diesen konnten wir in Vodnjan entfliehen. Eine wunderschöne typisch kroatische Kleinstadt ca. 10 Autominuten vom Meer entfernt. Die Wohnung direkt am zentralen Platz der Stadt gelegen ist geschmackvoll, modern und doch dem unvergleichlichen Flair dieses alten Steingebäudes entsprechend eingerichtet.. gerne wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Tessa C (Irene B)

I am an Australian but I live in Scotland. My husband and I first came to Istria in 2004 and fell in love with it. The following year we bought the appartment in Vodnjan and since then have come to stay at least twice every year. Once we stayed for a whole month as we were able to do our work online.
