Stone cottage in tranquil village location, 5km from Porec

Beautifully appointed 2 bedroom air conditioned 3 storey self catering Istrian stone cottage set in lovely rural location between Istria's tourist mecca Porec and the rolling hills of 'The New Tuscany'. Ask for our QuickTime movie.

Views over vineyards and olive groves in this tiny hamlet 5km from Istria's main tourist destination.

Enclosed garden with olive tree and locking gate. Covered patio area with garden furniture. First floor bedroom also has a terrace with fine views of the surrounding vineyards and farmland.

10 minutes from Porec & resorts Plava Laguna (Blue Lagoon), Zelena Laguna (Green lagoon) and Bijela Uvala (White Bay). Waterskiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, boat & bike hire available. Pula, home to Europe's 3rd largest amphitheatre and gateway to stunning Brijuni Islands (where you will find Tito's palace, a safari park and a unique golf course) is just 40 minutes away.


Local Amenities: All facilities, supermarkets, banks, ATMs, travel agencies etc available in Porec. Local restaurants serve wonderful food with a strong Italian influence, great Pizzas and pastas, as well as sea food caught daily and very drinkable local wines.

Don't miss the Istrian truffles with steak or fusilli, Prsut (the local dried ham), sheep’s cheese, wild boar with pasta, and raw fish gaspaccio.

Croatia excels at all sports and local hotels offer excellent facilities, indoor and outdoor tennis courts and Padel courts. At the Hotel Diamant there is a superb 'Wellness Centre', with gym, pools, sauna, steam room, treatments etc.

The beaches in Istria tend to be pebbly, rather than sandy, with a few exceptions. There are purpose built paved platforms with steps down all along the water's edge, which are ideal for sunbathing, particularly if you don't like getting sand everywhere! The Adriatic is one of the cleanest seas anywhere, winning praise from Jacques Cousteau as one of the most beautiful seas he had ever dived in.

Getting there: Low cost daily scheduled flights from Stansted, to Pula (40 mins from house) and Trieste (around 90 mins). EasyJet and Whizzair fly Luton to Ljubljana (90 mins) and EasyJet now fly Gatwick to Pula.

Other carriers have cheap charter flights to Pula and Rijeka. Scheduled flights also available. Car hire available at all airports.

Feel free to call Mike or Ria for help finding flights and car-hire.

Calm, quiet home in a village
Very relaxing home in a village east of Porec. We had a wonderful time visiting Novigrad and Porec, which are within 10-30 minutes away and have a LOT to see/eat/do. The home itself was quiet and lovely. A/C worked great, all basic necessities were there, beds were comfortable, and it was very quiet and dark at night. We had some trouble finding the home in the dark, so it would be wise to arrive before sunset (esp in case you need to chat with the owner). Michael helped us very late at night, so we are thankful for his support. Michael also shared good information about the area, dinner, neighborhood, etc. Overall, we would stay again!

Beautiful house and great location
The house is located in a small village. The house is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed the nature and the quietness. It’s only a few minutes by car to the beautiful town of Porec. We will go back there again.

Rustic, beautiful and quite perfect!
A rustic house which had great character and was perfectly situated to explore all directions in beautiful Istria. Very well equipped, clean, with all the comforts needed for an enjoyable and peaceful stay. Thank you, we had a wonderful break and all the neighbours and local farmer were very friendly. The farmers two pet cows were pure entertainment!

Well maintained, comfortable, peaceful location.
The house was well maintained and contained everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed being in a peaceful location but within easy reach of many lovely places to visit. Neighbours were friendly and we appreciated very much the gift of fresh figs and grapes. Having the balcony outside our bedroom was a great bonus and we made good use of it. Rather disappointingly - and contrary to the information with which we were provided - there were no places to eat within walking distance. The restaurant in Muzalez had closed down - it seemed as if that had happened some time ago. We wandered around the village until we found what had been Bepo's Grill, recognising it from a leaflet in the house, and there was no sign of that ever having been a restaurant. It would be helpful, therefore, for information to be updated. By exploring around the village, we found a few nice walks, including one into Porec. Again, providing such information in the house would have been good. Setting aside those few niggles, we had a lovely holiday and would recommend the property and the area highly.

It was a very Nice stay in Villa Maria. The cottage is confortable, well decorated, with natural colours and matérial. The place is very peaceful. Some Angels look around : swallows and neighbours.. :-) We loved Porec and istria in général. Anne, Didier and daughter Coline, from France

Lovely stay, just outside Poreç.
Lovely holiday home for 4-5 people. The accommodation is just 5 minutes from the centre of Poreç by car. Here you will find everything, the centre but also the lovely Adriatic sea with its sun terraces. Nice trips can be made from the cottage to Pula, strolling through Rovinj, dolphin spotting from Vrsar. The house has the necessary conveniences, good beds etc. Lovely outside, in front of the cottage for breakfast and or dinner. For us, it was lovely!

WUNDERBARE UNTERKUNFT
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in der Villa Maria. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und bietet alle Basics im Haushalt, welche man benötigt. Es ist sehr abgeschieden und hat viel Natur reihum. Ein Auto ist auf alle Fälle erforderlich für den Aufenthalt. Man ist in 10 bis 15 Minuten in der Stadt oder auch am Strand und kann von dort aus wunderbar alle Ausflugsziele erreichen. Es ist wirklich schön dort anzukommen und am Abend den Grillen zuzuhören. Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft für Naturliebhaber :) Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Alles in allem perfekt und sehr zu empfehlen.

Relaxing time in Valkarin
We (family, 2 Kids, 1 dog) had a fantastic time in Valkarin close to the vicinity of Porec. The house was a good starting point to discover the Istrian Coast from Rovinj to Novigrad. Small Konobas, good restaurants and shops like Lidl, Kaufland etc were in short distance by car. After an adventurous day we could chill and rest in our typical Istrian accommodation.

a perfect place where you can relax and also enjoy the wonderful beach life
The place Mike and Maria created is as peaceful as we wanted it to be. With a beautiful view, super nice hosts who gave us a feeling of being part of the little village of Valkarin. We liked the evening walks, sitting on the terrace having breakfast and dinner, and it is at a perfect distance of Porec. Porec is really beautiful with its narrow streets and nice little bars and restaurants. We recommend Bacchus! Nice food and nice people!

Schöner Erholungsurlaub
Alles in Allem waren wir super zufrieden und haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt. Leider gab es einige Katzen in der Umgebung die unseren Hund etwas aufgeregt haben (er hasst Katzen) aber das hat mit dem Objekt selbst ja nichts zu tun sondern ist ein Problem unseres Hundes :). Die Lage war sehr ruhig, so wie wir es gerne haben. Es war ein super Urlaub....leider viel zu kurz. Der Kontakt vor Ort war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Kurzum: Wir können dieses Ferienhaus definitiv weiter empfehlen :).
