About this property

Historic farmhouse amidst Istrian vineyards

Historic farmhouse surrounded by Istrian vineyards. At the edge of quaint village in Istria, amidst the vineyards and blossoming flowers, lies Casa Gaia, a beautifully restored, old farmhouse and inn. It is nestled into a large garden (2300 m2) with old growth trees and has a large swimming pool (12 x 5 m), with semi-circular, Roman steps and a natural stone terrace. The seaside, provincial town of Porec is just 15 km away. Casa Gaia is constructed of thick stone walls (some dating from the Byzantine Era), full of hidden niches and twisting corners. It has two open fireplaces and artisanal, painted tile in the bath and kitchen. Each bedroom is painted a different colour. Here you can put your mind at ease and truly relax, far from the hordes of tourists. The large, unique garden around both the homes functions as a sort of lush, otherworldly oasis. A 400 year old, enormous Ladonia grows proudly out of the ground here and offers the two homes all the shade necessary for the sultry heat of summer afternoons. Under this imposing tree, there is an age-old natural stone table for romantic, Mediterranean meals and other memorable moments in the garden. The eco-friendly pool is enriched with a light layer of sea salt at the bottom. There is underwater lighting for romantic evenings in the pool. This holiday location is perfect for replenishing your energy and leaving the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world behind. Casa Gaia comfortably accommodates 8 people. Accommodations: Casa Gaia’s main home consists of an intricately and luxuriously renovated, two-floor, stone home that features: 3 bedrooms with double beds, 1 bedroom with 2 beds, 3 bathrooms (2 with separate shower), a well-furnished kitchen (stove, oven, washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, electric kitchen appliances). The kitchen and parlour have an open fireplace, Satellite TV, DVD player, and stereo/CD player. WLAN access. Central heating. Outdoor area: garden furniture, sun loungers, 3 sunshades by the pool, table tennis, and grill. Parking spaces available next to the houses for a maximum of 4 cars (2 in front of the main home, 2 behind the garden entrance). The space can be rented from May through October. Pets permitted by request. 10% discount for stays of 14 days or more.

Wunderschönes, verwunschenes Original Steinhaus mit sehr schönem großen Garten
Wir haben die Weitläufigkeit des Anwesens mit Garten sehr genossen. Für die Kinder war der Pool das größte und für die Männer die Tischtennisplatte. Neue bzw. Mückengitter generell wären wünschenswert. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, gerne wieder.

Wunderschönes Steinhaus mitten im Nirgendwo
Wir hatten zwei wunderbare Wochen in diesem schönen alten Steinhaus in Gambetići. Das Grundstück ist groß, ebenso wie der Pool, der mit ca. 1,20m Tiefe super für alle Poolaktivitäten war. Im Haus selbst befinden sich im Erdgeschoss der Wohn- und Essbereich, sowie die komplett ausgestattete Küche mit Gasherd. Hier ist es durchgehend angenehm kühl. Im 1. OG finden sich 3 individuell gestaltete Schlafzimmer mit großen Doppelbetten und 2 Bäder. Im 2. OG, dem ausgebauten Dachgeschoss, kommt man durch einen langen Flur am Bad vorbei in ein weiteres Schlafzimmer (dieses ist mit Klimaanlage) mit 2x 1,40m-Betten. Das Haus liegt in einem kleinen Ort. Die Strände, die nächsten Supermärkte und der schöne Ort Poreč sind alle ca. 20 Minuten Fahrzeit entfernt. Für den kleinen Einkauf und mit einem sehr guten Restaurant können wir außerdem den Ort Višnjan empfehlen, der nur 10 Autominuten entfernt liegt. Tipp: Auf jeden Fall an Mückenschutz denken!! Und beim direkten Nachbarn gibt es für kleines Geld hervorragenden selbstgemachte Weißwein.
