Surrounding

The house is set at the edge of a small town Višnjan.

Višnjan is a small Istrian town situated on the top of a hill. It is surrounded by forests and gives plenty of possibillities to go for a  walk or take a ride by bike. The antique terrace on the square, which is entered through a Venetian arc, gives a remarkable view of the sea. Ever since the days of Venetian rule, Višnjan had served as a renowned commercial center, where all sorts of agricultural products and tools were being sold. Even today, every last Thursday of the month there is a traditional open market held there, which is a special attraction for people from all over Istria. Višnjan is a place of special interest to astrology lovers because of its internationally reputed Astronomical Observatory.

The tourist hotspot town of Porec is just a short drive away. While staying in our house near Porec (10 km) don’t miss to visit the Euphrasian Basilica. It was built in the middle of the 6th century in the Byzantine style and it’s considered to be one of most beautiful works of art in the world. Porec is a town with a rich cultural heritage where a massive city wall defies time and greets visitors from all over the world.
