Holiday in Istria

Places to visit around Višnjan

The ancient Višnjan is particularly popular with tourists seeking relaxation and a typical Croatian ambience in sunny Croatia. The rustic village is located around 13 kilometres west of Poreč as well as the sea and is ideally located in the triangle of Umag, Rovinj and Motovun. Some of the region’s most beautiful sights can be reached in just a few minutes. One of the highlights is the world-famous observatory of Višnjan, which can be reached on foot in just 2 minutes. A few hundred metres further on, in the middle of the town centre, is the church “SV. Kvirik i Julita” church from the 19th century, the Venetian-style town loggia, the stone terrace with a cistern and the Višnjan town walls. Sea view included.

Below are some inspirations – if you have tried any of them, we look forward to your comments.

What our guests say

The house is beautiful, with plenty of space for 7 people. The four bedrooms are nicely furnished, each with its own TV. The pool was definitely a highlight – sun loungers, parasols and towels were all ready, as was a charcoal grill. Very peaceful surroundings with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Stefan and Laura were always reachable. We had a wonderful holiday and would love to come back – highly recommended, great for families with children too!

One of the most beautiful houses in Višnjan! A lovingly renovated historic building, updated with all modern comforts. Višnjan has everything you need: a butcher, supermarkets, a pizzeria and a very good local restaurant. The sea is less than 15 minutes away. After a day out, the pool is perfect for cooling off. We felt very much at home and would love to return!

The house is freshly renovated and decorated with great attention to detail. Everything you need is there: a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor kitchen, a great pool, air conditioning and 3 full bathrooms. Višnjan is ideally located for day trips to Motovun, Poreč or Pula. Check-in was seamless and communication with Stefan & Laura was fast and straightforward. We would love to come back!

A beautiful house in a great location, just 20 minutes by car from the sea. I was there with 6 friends for a cycling race – the house was an absolute highlight and very well equipped. A wonderful retreat, especially for families. The village has great restaurants: from local cuisine to Italian pizza.

A great holiday home, highly recommended! Clean, well-maintained and modernly furnished with high-quality fittings. Supermarket, bakery and restaurants are all within walking distance. Towns and beaches are just a short drive away. We forgot our air mattress pump – the hosts helped us out straight away. That was brilliant!

We really loved the location and the interior of the house – especially the living area and the pool area. Exceptionally attentive and friendly hosts.

★★★★★ Kadija P. · Booking.com

A very beautiful property overall. Quietly situated, ideal for relaxing in the sun by the pool. A small supermarket, restaurants, butcher and bakery are all within walking distance. Just over 15 minutes by car to the beach.

★★★★★ Matthias T. · Google

Very friendly host who responds to messages straight away. Clean pool with generous dimensions, completely renovated house and beautifully furnished rooms. One minor note: you can hear noise between floors – groups with different sleeping schedules should be aware of this.
