Numerous bicycle and trekking paths are prefect for exploring the surrounding hamlets and villages. House Walnut is located at the end of of Ružići, a tiny hamlet of only ten homes in total, surrounded by greenery, vineyards and orchards which give the home a special, Mediterranean charm. You will arrive here by driving along the rolling hills with breath-taking views of the coast and Mediterranean ambience between Labin and Rabac.

Istria

Istria is a holiday destination that soothes the soul. Discover the beauty of tiny villages with only a few stone houses, romantic chapels with fresco-covered walls, medieval castles and prehistoric hill-forts, all dipped in the green beauty of the Mediterranean. If you want a more dynamic rhythm and rich food and wine experience, sports, entertainment and attractions, the blue beauty of the Istrian coast is the place for you.

Destination Labin

The old city of Labin

The hillside above Rabac is home to the medieval town of Labin which first appeared in recorded history as Albona in 285 AD. This is the city of Matija Vlačić, the reformer who collaborated with Martin Luther, and a town with numerous cultural and historical landmarks which bear witness to the city’s rich history. The old city itself is like an open-air atelier, a refuge for artists, painters and sculptors but also for local youth who gather in the various charming cafes and bars.
