House Ivela

Location in Croatia, Istria - Pariži

This is a stone farmhouse with a difference – instead of encountering the usual dark rustic décor upon entering, the owner-artist has painted the interior in his own colourful style - this gives it an inimitable character all its own. Hidden away down a quiet country lane in deepest central Istria, the peace and privacy one finds here are the other hallmarks of this property. The friendly owners live next door but this does not detract from the sense of complete tranquillity, even when enjoying an al fresco meal at the stone table in the garden. 11 kilometers away is the ancient town of Pazin where essential shops, banks and chemists are to be found. These aside, the town’s castle is lauded as the most beautiful and best preserved medieval fort in Istria and Pazin’s Pit, an abyss 130 meters deep, are but two of this town’s attractions that provide very interesting diversions.



Although this is ‘the heart of Istria’, the sea at Porec is only 30 kilometers away. The garden, unfenced, mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by trees, is furnished and there is also a table and chairs under a large archway for shaded outside dining. Barbecue.



Front door into a charming sitting room with corner sofa. Kitchen/diner equipped with 4 ring electric hob, oven, fridge and stone sink. Bathroom, WC etc and washing machine. Up 13 stone steps is the first floor landing off which are two double bedded rooms. The double beds are slightly narrower than normal, in common with Istrian practice.
