Perfect base for exploring Istria....
The property met our needs perfectly as a base for a two week exploration of Istria, somewhere we knew little about beforehand. Its position overlooking the main square gave us a good chance to 'get under the skin' of a small Istrian town where locals were in the majority. A hire car, though, also allowed us to visit the many and varied coastal and inland attractions that Istria boasts - and several, including early Fazana and Rovinj, we liked so much that we made multiple visits. Vodnjan itself has a relatively small number of restaurants and bars but there is definitely enough to keep you going when not doing 'road trips'. The Vodnjanka restaurant was definitely the best option, although booking is advised. We were lucky enough to be have our holiday coincide with several events and festivals in the town plus a few (free) concerts in small buildings or the 'open air cinema'. Your first port of call should be the Touring Info office (also on the main square) - they were very helpful in explaining what was coming up in and around the town.

Great accommodation, atmospheric location
We have loved our stay at Castello, it's been a great base for exploring the nearby towns and coastline. We loved Bale, especially the Kamene Price jazz bar and exploring the streets of Vodnjan itself. A trip to Chiavalon olive oil producers and Stancia Buršić (local ham producer and restaurant) are worth a mention, we were welcomed warmly at both. We were without a car but we were able to take a day boat trip up the coast to Lim Ford, Vrsar and Rovinj which was lovely. Über has been a bit of a lifeline here - it's about a 1/3 of the price of a normal taxi and as such, we were only too happy to tip the drivers. On a more earthly note, it was great to have a washing machine on the premises and we really enjoyed the roof terrace. It's been lovely talking to people, tourists and locals and we've loved being here. Having spoken to lots of friends and colleagues at home, Croatia is becoming more and more a destination of choice. I'd come again before the whole world hears about it. Thank you Tessa. Best wishes Miriam and Abby

Charming modern flat in an architectural gem of the past
The locals we met were very friendly- our neighbours and the owner of the cafe below. A relaxed holiday with lots to visit in the area. Very nice to stay somewhere off the beaten track. I will be back!

I am an Australian but I live in Scotland. My husband and I first came to Istria in 2004 and fell in love with it. The following year we bought the appartment in Vodnjan and since then have come to stay at least twice every year. Once we stayed for a whole month as we were able to do our work online.
