Rakalj is a small village with about 17 km of coast, on the west bank of Raša Bay on the southeastern coast of Istria, 12 km northeast of Marcana and 25 km from Pula. First mentioned in 1190, was once known for traditional Istrian ceramics, the tradition of which was revived for tourist purposes, and for seafarers and fishermen. It is known to visitors for its cultural and historical sights (the baroque parish church in the 18th Built in the 19th century, Rakalj castle ruins) and ethnographic collections in the house of the scientist and writer Mijo Mirkovic (Mate Balota). Old Rakalj is located near the sea, on a hill in Raška Bay. Next to the ruins of Old Rakalj is the church of St. Agneze from 1495. From here you have a wonderful panorama of the valley of the Raša river and the countless fields, mostly covered with sage and straw flowers.

This is the most beautifully designed and furnished villa with a great pool and outdoor sunbathing area. It is situated in a lovely village with a cafe, restaurant and convenience store. It is close to beaches and there are many wonderful places to explore a car ride away. Dudo, the owner, who lives next door is an exceptional host. The perfect balance between unobtrusive and helpful, Dudo provided lots of excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat. We had a wonderful fun family holiday in this beautiful region of Croatia. Thank you so much.

A beautiful house, rich in colour and character. The layout allows everyone privacy, all the bedrooms are generously sized with an ensuite. The property is very private and still only a couple of kilometres to the ocean. Take the car to explore during the day and enjoy eating in the outdoor dining area at night by the pool. We appreciated that the owner keeps a wine rack full of local wines and we recommend taking the sailing trip on offer. The owner is an excellent host and this was by far the best house that we have rented in Croatia in many years.
