Summary: Sunny memories of our family’s stay at Villa Gračišće in Istria last summer will light up any gray day. This beautifully refurbished old stone farmhouse comes with all the modern amenities you could wish for, and was roomy enough to accommodate our family of different generations without anyone tripping over each other. The owners of Villa Gračišće were exceptionally helpful and their tips opened up a world that no guidebook can do justice to. When not lazing by the pool, we spent our days exploring the stunning countryside, alternating between visits to ancient hilltop towns and villages and the inviting beaches along the beautiful Adriatic coast. And then there was the food! There are wonderful, small restaurants wherever you turn. This is truffle country, and there are oh so many ways to enjoy them without having to break the bank. When we opted for fish, it was fresh and straight from the sea. The pasta dishes were homemade. At home, we enjoyed fresh vegetables and fruit from local farmers. We spent many a long evening on one of the house’s patios, gazing at the stars, sipping some of Istria’s famous yet affordable wines and thinking: Life is good. And at Villa Gračišće it certainly is.

Summary: This summer, fate put in our path this charming village in Croatia, called Gracisce, where we stayed in a magnificent villa, also called “Gracisce”. The Villa is restored lovingly by its owners with an eye for stylish simplicity, which is rarely found. The textures, decorations, design solutions and colours are all traditional and charming. It allows wonderful space in bedrooms, kitchen and living accommodation. The kitchen is fully equipped for anything you may want to cook. The swimming pool, the table tennis, the volleyball net, the many outside sitting areas allow for a variety of experiences. The fact that the villa was situated just outside the village of Gracisce (1 km), gave us the opportunities for many walks. We walked in extensive vineyards, on hills, unusual geological formations and loved the view of the historic houses of Gracisce in the distance. On the way to the village we had a private tasting and purchased some good Croatian wine from the Bazon Vinery. Having belonged to almost anyone in Europe in the past, Gracisce’s most important role in was as a guardian-fortress on the boundary of the Venetian Republic. Many of its buildings were built in an Italian style. They charm you with their elegance and create a wonderful atmosphere of Italian serenity. Of interest are the Salomon Palace (in Venetian Gothic style – its only example in Istria), the Bishops Palace, and several other churches. The towns’ fortifications are almost entirely lost, except for a tower and the main gates. The villa Gracisce is situated in the centre of Istria, which allows the visitor to travel to almost anywhere within a short period of time. We saw many of the jewels of Istria – Pazin, with its castle and the chasm, which inspired Dante Alighieri and Joules Verne; the phenomenal murals in the Church in Beram; Poretz, with the Byzantine mosaics. We climbed the steps to Motovun on the hilltop and loved the views from above; the Italian look of the old part of Rovinj made us remember Shakespeare; Pula and its well-preserved unique amphitheatre, Roman Gates and mosaics, delighted us. St Vincent with its large castle and Medieval Italian centre we almost missed and Opatija, a quiet resort, gave us the chance to enjoy some phenomenal sea views on a road on the side of the Adriatic. And everywhere the wine and food were excellent! For more details, please visit www.annabuxton.co.uk

Summary: If you have decided to spend your holiday in the beautiful region of Istria and are having a hard time deciding where to stay, look no further. Villa Gracisce is ideal. Located in the centre of Istria makes it very easy to go on day trips both inland as well to the many coastal towns and beaches. The immediate surrounding is ideal for those looking to go for walks in the hills offering stunning views. The house itself has been restored to a level rarely seen. The owners have managed to maintain a perfect balance between the history of the place and modernizing it. The amenities, in particular the terrace, garden and pool, offer something from everyone. Over the years we have spent our holidays in different houses in Istria. Villa Gracisce, without a doubt ranks at the very top and we will definitely return!

Summary: My wife, two children (aged 8 and 5), and I stayed for a week last year in this beautiful restored farmhouse. The owners did an excellent job restoring the house, retaining many of the original architectural elements while delivering modern comforts. It is very clean, and the upgrades well done/tasteful. The house is tucked away off the main road so it's quiet and private. The central location was excellent to access the entire Istrian peninsula. We could travel by car to all the various seaside cities: Pula, Labin, Rovinj. The trip had a great mix of hidden swim spots (nature) and cultural experiences in cities. We definitely recommend visiting during July/August when the festivals are in full swing, as these are a varied treat. At the end of the day we retreated to our country farmhouse to enjoy the quiet and incredibly bright stars. The nearby village of Gracisce can be reached by bicycle or foot, and is a beautiful, quaint spot perched high above a valley. We liked the topography of the area. You definitely need a car, though this was manageable and the roads there are better quality than that we have at home. The house is kid friendly; nothing too fragile or easy to break, though ours are out of the toddler stage. The owners are great: friendly, easy to deal with, and will have ideas about things to do if you need, etc. For example, we rented a guided boat for a day to tour the coast, and we were directed to Tito's private island for a day trip. All around, a great place to see the area, check out and read/write, or do some road cycling. Highly recommended.

Summary: This was our 3rd summer that we have spent in Istria and the first time we have stayed in this house. It was our best trip so far! The location is very good for both discovering the Istrian countryside and finding some of the best beaches that we had not visited before. The house is a fantastic renovation which retains its traditional character yet is modern, spacious and comfortable. Our kids (aged 14 + 12) thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities - badminton, table tennis, bicycles and swimming pool, and I was able to enjoy long hilly runs in different directions every morning. We had some memorable evenings in different restaurants a short drive from the house, and would definitely recommend a holiday here to our friends and family.

Summary: We stayed in this beautiful house with our two young children and had a wonderful time there. The house itself is truly stunning, very tastefully renovated, with lots of attention to detail. We particulary loved the generously proportioned beautiful kitchen and living room downstairs, as well as the salt water pool and lovely garden and the quiet and peaceful surrounding areas. Its the perfect base for a family holiday in Istria being located near to the hill top towns (such as Motovun) but also not too far from the sea. We will definitely come again and can only recommend it very highly!
