This is not the house where we live but we feel it as "our home", we don't rent it because all our belongings are in there.We love it,it is our retreat for every possible weekend from April to October when climate is favourable.
We are a family of four, our children are 2 and 4 years old..they are curious, full of energy but educated boys, they like travelling with us to discover new places. We live in the northeastern corner of Italy, near Triest, but love Istria and a couple of years ago decided to buy this apartment by the sea which represents our retreat to excape from everyday life, just two hours by car from our home in Italy.
Kamenjak National Park is the southernmost peninsula of Istria, its ten kilometers of coastline offer several uncontaminated bays made of bright white and little pebbles. The Park is well known not only for its crystal clear waters but also for its mountain bike trails (each year in April mountain bike lovers won't miss the event "Rocky trails").
"It′s the wild rugged beauty and end-of-the-world vibe of this small peninsula just south of Pula that earned it cult status among Croatian beach goers. An undevelpoed protected nature reserve, Kamenjak showcases a carpet full of health plants, shurbs and wildflowers criss-crossed by a maze of dirt tracks running through it all. It′s fringed by a string of peeble bays and secluded rocky beaches, surrounded by crystalline blue-green sea. Its get busy in summer but there′s always an empty beach to escape to, plus a fun beach bar for socialising."Lonely Planet, 20 June 2012.
A very nice and cozy apartment located in front of Kamenjak National Park in Premantura Village, 10 minutes by car to the main historical city Pula, well known for its Ancient Roman Arena (Colosseum). One bedroom with extra large bed (200×180 cm) and a large sofà bed in the kitchen/living room. A children bed/crib is provided as well as a child high chair.
There are two double beds but space for more than four people: two adults and a child can sleep in the big bed in the bedroom and in the living room there is space for two adults on the new sofabed and a child in the children bed so 4 adults and two/three little children can be accomodated.
