We had the most fabulous 2 week holiday at Nasa Istra. We arrived late evening and were warmly welcomed by Ariela and Marin (who live in another village and kindly drove through to greet us) with delicious soup, homemade cakes and Istrian biska. They were both so helpful and provided very welcome assistance before leaving us to enjoy our holiday. This was our first visit to Croatia and Istria did not disappoint. The villa is ideally situated to visit hilltop villages, mountain and woodland trails as well as both east and west coasts of the Istria peninsula. There is even a konoba (small restaurant) within walking distance of the villa. The villa itself has all you need, WiFi, washing machine, TV and DVD player without losing its character. The garden is the main attraction, a good size with scope for badminton and other games. The garden itself contains fabulous flowers and shrubs as well as a vegetable plot (which our hosts let us sample) with potatoes, courgettes, lettuce and radishes - terrific! There was even a table tennis table and we spent many an evening improving our game here. Ariela and Marin were helpful and discrete hosts throughout our stay. We took up their offer to meet up at their boat in Icici and had a wonderful afternoon/evening with them exploring Kvarner Bay - a real highlight! I would highly recommend anyone seeking peace and quiet in a magnificent setting to try Nasa Istra.
