If you're looking for a quiet, rural Istrian getaway location that is still within easy reach of all the major Istrian sites, you'd be hard pressed to find a better place than Kod Tereza. My family and I have stayed there twice and hope to return many more times. Located in a small Istrian farming community, you quickly feel at home as Nigel and Sue (the wonderful British Ex-Pat hosts of this house who live next door) never intrude on your stay, but at the same time are happy to have you join them on their evening walks--a must in my opinion as you meet their neighbors who frequently bring out wine, bread, or whatever specialty or harvest item is then in season. The facility itself is charmingly rustic on the exterior, but completely remodeled on the inside. The kitchen and bathrooms are all new and the two small woodstoves provide a wonderful ambiance though the central heating system makes them unnecessary if you don't want to deal with them. Everything is exceptionally clean and well-kept-up. A car is certainly necessary to access this location, but once there, everything is within an easy drive. Nigel and Sue provide wonderful maps and suggestions about great day trips to all the Istrian must-see locations, and they are also happy to help you make reservations at one of the many local eateries. I've spent a lot of time in various vacation homes and B&Bs in many areas of the world, and this is one of the best I've experienced. I highly recommend a stay at Kod Tereza!
