About this house rental
Tucked away in a tiny ancient hamlet near Grašišće, Villa Grašišće offers a rare combination of space, seclusion, and comfort. These two beautifully restored stone houses are surrounded by green fields and woodlands, creating the perfect setting for family gatherings, group retreats, or simply a peaceful escape. Whether you want to relax by the saltwater pool, enjoy a long outdoor dinner under the stars, or explore Istria’s rolling countryside by bike, this property provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.
North House (Sleeping Capacity 6 People)
Stepping into the North House, you’ll find a blend of traditional Istrian charm and modern comfort. The spacious living room, with its stone floors and inviting atmosphere, is a wonderful spot to unwind. A sofa bed offers extra sleeping space if needed. The high-ceiling kitchen, complete with a traditional Istrian fireplace, is fully equipped for preparing delicious meals.
Two west-facing terraces provide beautiful views and space for outdoor dining, while a table tennis table and a badminton/handball court offer fun for all ages. Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms with wooden floors each have their own en-suite bathrooms. Air conditioning in the top bedroom keeps the upper floors cool during warm summer nights.
South House (Sleeping Capacity 6 People)
Just across the path, the South House offers its own cozy and inviting spaces. The large kitchen and dining area, with its stone floors and traditional fireplace, is perfect for gathering over meals. A ground-floor sauna provides a welcome retreat after a day of exploring.
Upstairs, an open chill-out space serves as a drawing or reading nook and includes a sofa bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. Two double bedrooms on the top floor each have en-suite bathrooms, ensuring privacy and comfort. A south-facing terrace invites you to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings with a glass of local wine.
Outdoor Spaces & Extras
Between the two houses, you’ll find plenty of spaces to gather or retreat into quiet corners with a book, yoga mat or even a table tennis match! The 10-meter saltwater pool is a refreshing oasis, surrounded by smooth stone flagstones, wooden decking, and grass.
For those who love to explore, we provide bicycles and maps to help you discover scenic trails to nearby villages like Grašišće, Žminj, Pićan, and Pazin. Istria’s cycle roads are some of the most beautiful in Europe, even hosting a stage of the Giro d’Italia.
Other thoughtful touches include:
Unlimited wireless internet – stay connected or unplug for a true retreat
Yoga mats for your morning practice
Organic bio-dynamic vegetables delivered fresh to your door
Villa Grašišće is a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of Istria at your own pace. Whether you’re spending your days by the pool, cycling through the countryside, or savoring a home-cooked meal on the terrace, this is a home where memories are made.

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.

Wir waren Anfang Juli 2015 mit fünf Personen in der Villa Gracicse. Es waren zwei wundervolle Wochen. Das Haus ist ein Traum und noch viel schöner und vor allem großzügiger, als es die Bilder vermuten lassen. Die Zimmer sind toll eingerichtet und vor allem super-geschmackvoll gestaltet. Das Dachzimmer mit dem angeschlossenen Bad ist allerdings etwas niedrig und sicherlich nichts für Zwei-Meter-Menschen. Meine Frau und ich haben dort geschlafen und es war völlig ok. Vor allem, weil man sich im Urlaub ja sowieso eigentlich nur nachts im Schlafzimmer aufhält. Das Dachzimmer hat eine Klimaanlage! Sehr praktisch! Man kann sie abends zwei Stunden anschmeißen und hat dann die ganze Nacht über angenehme Träum-Temperaturen :-) Überhaupt muss man sagen, dass wir die gesamte Zeit über tolles Wetter hatten, fast immer über 30 Grad, - uns es aber nie unangenehm zu heiß wurde. - Pool, Terrassen, Garten... alles ist wirklich traumhaft. Und auch die gegenüberliegenden Häuschen passen idyllisch ins Gesamtbild dieses wunderbaren Fleckchens Erde. Ich wünschte, das Haus würde mir gehören :-) Wer Zweifel wegen des Salzwasserpools haben sollte, dem sei gesagt, dass die völlig unbegründet sind. Wir hatten diese Zweifel anfangs auch und müssen nun sagen, dass so ein Salzwasserpoool tausendmal schöner ist, als gechlortes Wasser... Wirklich! Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet und lässt eigentlich keine Wünsche übrig. Wer allerdings ungern das Geschirr mit Händen spült, der sollte bedenken: Es gibt keine Spülmaschine! Für uns war das überhaupt kein Problem! Außerdem bekamen wir so unsere drei Teenager mal "an die Arbeit"...:-))) Vom Haus aus sind alle Küstenorte in 40 bis 50 Minuten zu erreichen. Wir haben oft den Tag am Pool verbracht und sind dann gegen Abend nach Rovinj, Porec, Rabac,, Labin, Novigrad, Pula oder auch Vrsar gefahren. So haben wir viel von Istrien sehen können. Der Vermieter ist übrigens eine Wucht und super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das sollte hier unbedingt mal erwähnt werden. Schon im Vorfeld des Urlaubs hat er uns mit vielen Tipps versorgt und alles für uns getan. Das ist wirklich toll gewesen! Danke Vlaho!
