River valley near Kaštel
The Dragonja valley (Dolina Dragonje) in Istria follows the river of the same name, about 30 kilometres long, down to the Adriatic. In places the river marks the border between Croatia and Slovenia.
Most of our houses are in the south of the peninsula, around Pula, Medulin, Ližnjan, Banjole and Premantura. Beaches and coves are close by, Cape Kamenjak is a protected nature area, and Pula with its Roman amphitheatre has an old town for rainy days and evenings.
The west coast with Poreč and Rovinj still shows its Venetian past. Off the coast lie dozens of small islands, most only a stone’s throw from the mainland and ideal for swimming and water sports.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, stay in a stone house inland, for example around Vodnjan, Svetvinčenat or Žminj. The coast is usually about half an hour away by car. Country inns serve the region’s cooking with Italian, Central European and Slavic influences, along with wines such as Malvazija and Teran.
For swimming: June to September (sea from 22 °C). Calm sea for children: June to August (waves mostly under half a metre). For hiking and cycling: May, October. For sailing and surfing: September (often wind of force 4 or more).
