Description

Located in the peaceful landscape of Svetvinčenat, just about 17 kilometers from Rovinj, a unique property full of tranquility and charm awaits you. This boutique B&B, consisting of two separate buildings, combines rustic character with the Mediterranean beauty of Istria - the ideal place to welcome guests from near and far for thoroughly relaxing stays. The property, originally built in 1904 and carefully renovated between 1999 and 2003, is situated on a spacious plot of over 3,500 m². Surrounded by lush gardens with a well-thought-out irrigation system, this property is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation. The slightly elevated location offers a charming view of the picturesque surroundings on clear days. The main house spans four floors and offers three friendly bedrooms and three bathrooms. Here, both guests and hosts find the highest level of privacy and comfort. Two cozy living areas with open fireplaces create a warm ambiance and invite you to linger. The rustic tavern, with an impressive area of approximately 100 m² and another open fireplace, is the perfect place to spend convivial evenings or indulge guests with traditional Istrian cuisine. For culinary highlights, there are three kitchens available, including a romantic summer kitchen with an original bread oven and a stone grill. An old stone house serves as a charming annex and offers an ideal retreat for guests seeking even more privacy, with four additional living units consisting of a total of four more kitchens, six bedrooms, and six bathrooms. The generous outdoor areas are as impressive as the interior of the property. A covered terrace of about 80 m², an open terrace on the first floor of approximately 76 m², and an additional rooftop terrace offer numerous opportunities to enjoy the Mediterranean sun and the impressive view. The expansive garden, enclosed by a traditional dry stone wall, also includes a children's playground and invites relaxation with its many quiet corners and shaded spots. Modern technology complements the historic character of the property. Solar panels on the roof provide the house with sustainable energy, and a gas central heating system with its own tank ensures comfort all year round. The entire property is secured with video surveillance and is designed to be accessible to people with limited mobility. Generous parking for 13 to 18 vehicles is available for guests and visitors.

Surrounded by gentle hills, Mediterranean forests, and picturesque villages, here lies an extraordinary Bed & Breakfast with immense tourist potential. Svetvinčenat offers an ideal combination of seclusion and proximity to the region's highlights. The Adriatic coast with its crystal-clear bays and beaches is only 20 kilometers away. Popular coastal towns like Rovinj, Poreč, and Pula are within easy reach – all of them tourist magnets that attract numerous visitors each year. The place itself impresses with its authentic charm, characterized by the Renaissance castle Morosini-Grimani, historic buildings, and lively events. Combined with the hospitable inhabitants, it creates an atmosphere that immediately captivates guests. For nature lovers and active vacationers, the surroundings are a paradise. Cycling and hiking trails lead through olive groves, vineyards, and forests, and horseback riding excursions, kayaking tours, or wine tastings are also possible. The varied landscape offers both sporting challenges and relaxing experiences. Culinary-wise, the region impresses with first-class restaurants and konobas. Truffle dishes, fresh fish, homemade pasta, and award-winning wines make Istria a gourmet destination. Renowned wineries and olive oil producers are located nearby and invite you to tastings. The good infrastructure of the region increases its attractiveness: The airport in Pula is only 30 minutes away, and well-developed roads ensure quick connections to other highlights like the Brijuni Islands or the Učka National Park. Istria has long been a popular travel destination, and Svetvinčenat is increasingly attracting guests seeking authentic accommodations. With its unique location and authentic flair, this Boutique Bed & Breakfast is more than a property – it is an invitation to become part of one of Europe's most emerging destinations.
