History

Over 300 years ago, this house was build from traditional local white stones and the walls are up to 1m thick. A typical Istrian wealthy house, with a wine cellar in the basement and some domestics animals. Living area used to be on the first floor and an open toilet was provided in the back garden. Half of the back garden had a raised platform and was used as a small and very cute vegetable garden. In the other corner was a shed for pigs and chickens. Stone stairs provided entrance to the habited part of the house and the ark door was an open stone passage to the back garden. We also learned it was once a bakery because the stones on one side of the house were blackened.

We were instantly charmed with this beautiful wreck and decided to save it’s historic value by restoring the front of the house to it’s original state as much as possible. W e even had dark brown shutters added, which is Medulin’s signature colour. As one of the last authentic houses from this area, it is still a pride of Medulin’ s heritage and visitors can still get a glimpse of the long history of a once tiny Istrian village.

This beauty deserved a second life, so fixing only the front was not our only challenge. The house needed to be entirely reinvented inside and all the walls cleaned, reinforced, filled and secured. With the help of our dear friend, Dutch architect Koen Rouwhorst, we did everything to preserve what could be preserved and give the inside of the house a new, modern heart. We are proud of the house being authentic and it is once again the most photographed house in all of Medulin.

Surroundings

This house is in a quiet part of Medulin, no cars and busy roads around it while being just a corner away from Medulin main center square with postoffice, restaurants, bakery, caffees and a walking distance from the first city beaches. Istrians are very proud of the intact nature on most of their coast, wild beaches and long hiking trails through the woods. When it comes to the great Istrian cuisine, apart from couple of places we mention below, try searching for local farm restaurants. Very popular are the Istrian Agriturismo restaurants, where the farmers serve everything prepared with their own produce.

Hearty, good place for a classic Istrian bite.
