Our Retreat home is located in a small village in the heart of Istria, the northern Adriatic peninsula of Croatia. Not far from the Slovenian and Italian borders, this part of Croatia is known for its gentle and mysterious ancient energy, felt through the story and history of the picturesque local towns, delicious food, nourishing supporting lands, and crystal clear Adriatic sea. The local towns are well known for their historical charm, while the quiet villages, green valleys and ancient olive orchards feel like an undiscovered slice of heaven.

Our home is a beautifully restored farm estate, a collection of four traditional stone villas-surrounded by lush, maintained gardens, and a serene atmosphere of the nearby vineyards and farms.   Our home is inspired by tradition and nature, creating an atmosphere of stillness as well as vibrancy of life.

In addition to the communal kitchen and dining area, each villa has its own kitchen and dining space- so that you will always have access to a fridge, coffee & tea, and can even store or access your own snacks as you please.

Each villa has its own swimming pool, with a pool area for relaxation.

The rooms are very spacious, and beautifully furnished. Most rooms have ensuite bathrooms, double bedrooms, and all include Wi-Fi and air conditioning.  In some areas WIFI might be weaker due to thick stone walls. Communal areas will have better wifi.

You can choose to stay solo, or in a shared twin or a double room with slightly different standards.

• Superior Single room with ensuite bathroom:  €2,200
• Superior Twin Room Shared with ensuite bathroom €1,800
• Standard Twin Room shares bathroom with one more room €1,650
• Deluxe Room with ensuite bathroom, a shared double bed, bath tub and sofa €1,400

These photos show a random selection of rooms from each villa: ALL rooms are furnished as on the photos and have similar size. 

We will circle up in our communal open kitchen and dining area for family-style meals twice a day: for a rich brunch (following the morning practice) and an early dinner. There will always be coffee and light snacks available throughout the day. Your meals will have vegan and gluten free options, and be prepared using local, seasonal and to the extent possible organic ingredients with the intention to keep you healthy and vibrant on your path of transformation.

In addition to the communal kitchen and dining area, each villa has its own kitchen and dining space- so that you will always have access to a fridge, coffee & tea, and can even store or access your own snacks as you please.
