Outings

Days out across Istria.

Beyond the house, each arranged before you arrive, so a day begins without a single call to make.

Private Chauffeur service

A chauffeur for every arrival and every day out, from the airport to the coast and the hilltowns, the roads and the timings quietly taken care of.

A private truffle hunt

The truffle hunter takes you onto his own ground with his dogs, and the day's find is shaved at the table that afternoon.

The hilltowns

Motovun on its ridge above the Mirna valley, Groznjan given over to artists, and Buzet above the truffle woods, each a morning of stone lanes and long views.

Istrian wine

Inland Istria is a country of small family wineries and old vineyards. Malvazija and Teran are poured for you, in a cellar among the vines or at your own table.

Istrian olive oil

The groves around the house press oil that Flos Olei places among the finest in the world. You taste it young and green, poured over warm bread, where it is pressed.

Anticipated

Weeks ahead of your stay, we come to know the small things: the flowers you want in the rooms, the hour the children sleep, the music you keep at dinner. By the time you arrive, the week has quietly taken its shape around you.
