Istria forms a heart-shaped peninsula in northern Croatia, between the Adriatic and hills planted with olive trees and vineyards. Come here for its Venetian towns, crystal-clear coves, and a cuisine where truffles and olive oil take center stage.
Swimming, walking, and tasting the region
On the west coast, dive into pebble coves around Rovinj and Poreč, where the water stays clear from May to October. In Pula, the Roman amphitheater is best visited in the morning before the heat sets in, and hosts concerts and a film festival in summer.
Inland, the hilltop villages of Motovun and Grožnjan overlook the Mirna Valley, known for its truffles, hunted in autumn near Buzet. The wine roads around Buje lead from cellar to cellar to taste Malvasia and Teran. Renting a whole house with a kitchen changes everything: you can come back from the Poreč market loaded with fresh fish, cook it your way, and plan your days freely.
Where to stay
On the northwest coast, Novigrad keeps its fishing-port charm with its ramparts and seafood terraces, while nearby Zambratija and Finida offer quieter seaside stays. Buje and Gradišće, up in the hills, suit those seeking the calm of the countryside and easy access to vineyards. Further south, Medulin and its long sandy bay appeal to families. Our apartments and villas are spread across these towns, letting you explore both the coast and the inland areas.

For a family holiday, Medulin and its long sandy bay are well suited. Novigrad, Zambratija and Finida offer a peaceful seafront stay, close to the coves of Poreč. Buje and Gradišće, up in the hills, suit those looking for quiet and inland vineyards.
Where can I shop and discover local specialties?
The Poreč market lets you bring back fish, olive oil and fresh produce to cook on site. The Buzet area is famous for its truffles in autumn. The wine cellars of Buje offer malvasia and teran, to taste along the wine roads.
