Home description

This beautiful and newly converted old stone house is new on the market for 2007. The view from the window is trees and grass and vinyards. Set on three floors it has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one being a shower room), a large kitchen, separate lounge/TV area and a beautiful ground floor sitting room which can be converted into an extra bedroom. The ground floor has been made "helpful to the disabled" (walk in shower, toilet seat height extension) for those families who may have old or infirm parents and would like the opportunity of sharing a quiet holiday as a family. However, the owners would make it clear that this property cannot be classified as completely suitable for severely disabled. The property has a 8x3 swimming pool and newly laid gardens.
This property is oh so quiet. Ideal for a mature family holiday or groups of friends and absolutely ideal for someone who wants to get away from everything ... write a book even. The area is also strewn with cycle routes and walks. Hand on heart though, the owner could not say this was a holiday for young kids or teenagers ... the nearest disco or amusement arcade would probably be in Porec!!!!

The Istria region

Istria is often referred to as the New Tuscany such is its climate, landscapes and vinyards. If your not relaxing by the pool or simply taking in the sun there are plenty of day trip possibilities. For example Porec, the capital of Istria; Pula with its ancient Roman amphitheatre; Motovan, the marvellously atmospheric hill town; Rovinj with its quaint ols streets barred to traffic and Opatija with its 19th century neoclassic opulance.


Stanisi Vizinada area

Stanisi itself is a very small hamlet .... probably no more than 7 habitable dwellings most of which make a living from the wine trade. There´s a lovely restaurant just at the end of the approach road and a couple of small "supermarkets" 2km away in Vizinada (which incidentally, pretending to be French, formed the backdrop to scenes from the Clint Eastwood movie "Kelly´s Heroes"). More lively nightlife can be found a 15 minute drive away in Porec or Novigrad - two lovely seaside towns - or in quaint Buje.


How to get there

Several airports served by low cost carriers are within reasonable driving distance....
The closest being Pula in the south of Istria (Ryanair -London Stansted , Dublin) 30 mins drive to the house
Then Triest over the border in Italy (Ryanair - Stansted, Frankfurt) again 30 mins drive
Then Rijeka in the North East of Istria (easyjet -Luton, Bristol, HLX- Stuttgart, Munich, Hannover, Cologne, Leipzig) about a 60 min drive
Then Ljubljana in Slovenia (easyjet- London Stansted, wizz-Brussels) about a 60 min drive
Then Venice ... nice place to start a holiday ....with a number of airline options flying into there. This is a two hour drive to the house. Or you can even take a ferry from Venice to Porec, hire a car and drive 15 mins to the house.
We fully recommend www.holidayautos.co.uk for your car hire but make sure that if you are hiring from Italy or Slovenia that you have permission to take the car into Croatia. There is usually no extra charge for this.
