Location
The property is on the edge of a quiet village, surrounded by lush countryside. The closest town is Koper, known for its medieval old town. The town is a fascinating place to explore. Koper was once part of the Venetian Empire, and this has left its mark, particularly in Titov Trg (Titov Square). The narrow streets of the historical centre offer some excellent restaurants and cafés.

There are many wonderful beaches along the coast, including Zusterna Beach (13-minute drive) and the Slovene Riviera. Further along the coast is the charming harbour town of Izola (18 minutes). One of the oldest settlements on the coast, it is packed with history and has a lively marina. Visitors can hire kayaks and paddle boards to explore this stunning coastline.

The apartment is located near some of the best road cycling and mountain biking routes leading through the beautiful Slovenian Istrian countryside. Guests can enjoy scenic vineyards, olive groves, charming villages, and unspoiled nature right from the doorstep.

Away from the coast, the area is famous for its rock formations, caves and subterranean rivers. Skocjan Caves (27 minutes) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a spectacular series of caves, stalagmites and stalactites.

For self-catering, try Koper’s daily farmers’ market. Here you will find the best, freshest local ingredients. For other staples, there are many supermarkets within a 15-minute drive.

The closest airport is Trieste, which is a 55-minute drive. Alternatively, Ljubljana Airport is 1.5 hours away.
