With its 500 kilometers of coastline, its hills and its green heart, Istria is the perfect place to disconnect from everyday life and recharge your batteries.

Breathe deeply the perfume of the sea on a sunny day, walking or cycling one of the many small streets surrounded by greenery is the best way to restore your body and your spirit.

If you love good food and wine, if you want to give your palate moments of pure pleasure, the gastronomic routes you can take in Istria are what you were looking for.

Cheeses, ham, truffles, extra virgin olive oil and Malvasia wine will accompany you on your journey into taste with their unique and award-winning aromas and flavors.

A few days ago the news came that Pegola cheese - produced by the Grubišić family in Vesna Laborika, near Pula - finished second in the prestigious World Championship Cheese Contest, held in Wisconsin, United States.

Words are not enough to describe the beauty contained in some views offered by Istria.

Maybe pictures can ... You can see some of these great views in the pictures attached to this post.

In Istria there are many historical and cultural monuments of great importance.

Enchanting traces of the passage of Roman emperors, medieval kings and representatives of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.

Just think of the imposing Pula Arena, built during the empire of Augustus and came to hold about 23,000 spectators in its heyday.

In those days it housed hunting scenes and the famous gladiator fights.

Today, in the summer months, film screenings and concerts.

If so many foreign tourists choose Istria it is also thanks to the cordiality, kindness and respect with which they are welcomed.

Kindness and affability, but also discretion, professionalism and efficiency are characteristic features of Isabella and Sonja - our tireless Property Managers.

The "guardian angels" who welcome and take care of our guests during their stay in our villas with swimming pool located in Matelici and Krnica, in the south-eastern of Istria.
