The small, charming town of Visnjan is located in the western part of Istria, on a hill surrounded by greenery. The old Latin name for Visnjan, Vicinianus from the meaning near, indicates the influence of its proximity to the town of Porec. Porec is only 12 km away and offers many sights and tourist activities, from the old town centre with the Euphrasian Basilica (part of the UNESCO heritage), to numerous restaurants, bars and cultural events. If you find accommodation here, be sure to visit Porec. This beautiful, touristy town is well worth your time. In any case, you should also get to know Visnjan better. If you are interested in stars and other celestial bodies, be sure to visit the famous observatory in the small village of Tican, 3 kilometres from Visnjan. Apart from a few cycling trails (Parenzana passing through Visnjan and the so-called 29 km long Star Trail), this area is known for its eno-gastro-tourism (try prut-traditional smoked ham, truffles, local wine and olive oil). The nearest beach is near Porec, where you can choose between sand, pebble or concrete. - Outdoor heated pool - Private outdoor swimming pool (65m2) - Fully airconditioned - Cot: 2 - Child's chair: 2 - Pets: 2
