Anisha Kümmel2024-12-08 Wir waren in der Villa Valencano mit drei Familien mit Kindern von 6 Monaten bis 6 Jahren. Wir hatten eine wundervolle und abwechslungsreiche Zeit. Das Haus und alles was dazu gehört, ist ein Traum. Wir haben gleich für nächstes Jahr wieder gebucht und freuen uns schon sehr. Johann Brauckmann2024-11-15 Super Service, tolle ruhige Lage und tolle Spielmöglichkeiten Basketball, Dart und auch Billard. Nicola Knecht2024-11-15 Wünderschöne Villa mitten in der Natur. Super ausgerüstet für Gruppen und Familien(Boccia, PingPong, Fussballplatz, Pool etc.) Gut ausgerüstete Küche und die Pizzas von Jörg sind weltklasse! Auch das hauseigene Olivenöl ist spitze. Ideal geeignet für Tagesausflüge an nahe Strände und schöne Altstätte. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Elena Tomac2024-11-13 I loved this villa in the heart of Istria. I recommend it to everyone who wants a peaceful vacation surrounded by nature. Perfect for couples and families. Mylėne Hertelt2024-10-19 Sehr abgelegenen Ort, man fühlt sich wirklich wie am AdW, aber zum Meer und zum Einkauf und einem guten Restaurant sind es nur knapp 4 km, also ideal um zu 10t Zeit für sich zu haben. Mit Pool, Sauna, whirlpool, großer Küche und freiem Wlan. Man kann Olivenöl verkosten, wandern gehen, mit dem mountainbike los oder in die näheren 'Großstädte' Pula und Rovinj. Bale ist ein netter Ort der am Abend noch mal einen neuen Zauber hat, die Jazzbar ist zu empfehlen. René Leitner2023-08-09 Eine absolute Traumhafte Oase…. absolut Empfehlenswert. Marion Hertelt2023-07-27 Super nette Gastgeber, ein tolles Ambiente und qualitativ hochwertiges Olivenöl aus eigenem biologischen Anbau. Sascha Köbisch2023-07-22 A hidden champion! Such a wonderful place and very kind owners. In the middle if nowhere you will find one of the best olive oil producers of Istria, luxury accomodation and many attraction for children. A visit is highly recommended, but the way is rather uncomfortable
Valencano – that means growing olives trees on three hectares of land, producing organic extra virgin olive oil and giving people the opportunity to spend their holidays in this beautiful nature with almost always ideal weather in summer or to help harvesting in autumn.
Holidays – surrounded by olive trees and a quiet retreat in the hinterland of the Adriatic Sea, but only a few kilometers from the sea. If you are looking for a retreat far away from the hustle and bustle, traffic and noise, you will find it in Valencano.
Nevertheless, popular places such as Rovinj, which is fantastically situated on a peninsula, and Pula, which looks like ancient Roman times, can be reached in just 30 minutes by car. The small town of Bale – a gem from Roman and Venetian times – is as the beach only 4 kilometers away.
A self-sufficient supply of solar power and storage battery (the emergency power generator is only used in real emergencies or very long periods of bad weather), well water as well as hot water and heat from our own resources, organic olive cultivation and a wild nature in the immediate vicinity with typical local macchia makes Villa Valencano a real eco villa. Of course, our waste disposal has waste separation and is connected to the public waste disposal system.
We knew the varied coastal landscape and wild nature of Istria with its olive trees and good vineyards from sailing trips and other vacations and it magically attracts us. In search of a new center of life after many years of employment, it was like a gift that we were given the opportunity to acquire in this region Valencano in 2022.
We would be happy to welcome you soon in Valencano. Here you can see the details about our magnificent eco villa. In case you have any questions don’t hesitate calling us.
If you are interested in learning how our organic olives are harvested and getting involved yourself, please email us.
