“It was really amazing to stay in Sanja’s beautiful castle. The apartment is very big and comfortable, like a 5 star luxury accommodation. The surrounding is unique and all the nice bars and galleries are nice to visit. We drove around, took the train to the beach and everywhere we enjoyed beautiful landscapes and we love Croatia. It is a must to go to Rovinj, wonderful city and also we would like to recommend Mengetti for a day visit to the spa and winery Thank you very much dear Sanja for letting us stay and I hope we can come again ”

About our home
In the heart of the medieval town of Bale near Rovinj, you can enjoy the originality of Istria in a special atmosphere. The high quality equipped house offers on 4 floors a lot of space for up to 8 persons. It was extensively restored in 2017 and equipped with combination of original and modern, luxurious design. On the ground floor you will find a well-equipped, chic kitchen with a spacious dining area as well as a toilet with washing machine and dryer. On the 1st and 2nd floor there is a living room and a bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Upstairs there is another bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a living area, which also offers a pantry kitchen and sleeping facilities for two more people.
In the narrow cobbled streets of the town where time seems to stand still, the old walls tell stories of bygone days. But Bale offers much more: the surrounding nature intact, peace and serenity, local taverns and local olive oils of the highest class.
It's only a few kilometers to the coast with beautiful beaches and crystal clear water.
Come and discover one of the Istrian`s best kept secrets that will facinate you with very powerful energy, people and gastronomy.
ps. If you do not mind please leave 100 € for cleaning, so the house can be prepared for next guests/tourists.
