In a peaceful village in the hinterland of Rovinj, just 3 km from Kanfanar, stands a thoroughly renovated stone house with two bedrooms, a heated swimming pool and a large terrace. Its compact 86,10 m² provide everything needed for a comfortable holiday or stay, without a large garden or demanding maintenance.

A small house for big holidays

Holiday-home listings are often dominated by large properties, numerous rooms and extensive gardens that require considerable time and maintenance. This compact house takes a different approach: two bedrooms, a comfortable living area, a pool and a terrace provide exactly what a couple, a small family or guests looking for an uncomplicated stay in Istria need.

The house offers a total of 86,10 m² arranged over two floors, without unnecessary spaces that increase the purchase price, furnishing costs and future maintenance. This carefully measured size is one of its main advantages for buyers who are not looking for a large villa, but rather a well-organised and practical home.

Stone character with contemporary comfort

The house was originally built around 1900 and was renovated in 2023. The stone exterior walls preserve the character of a traditional Istrian house, while the reinforced-concrete floor structure and renovated roof provide functionality suited to modern use.

The pitched roof covered with traditional roof tiles and the stone façade blend naturally into the setting of an old Istrian village. It is a home for buyers who appreciate the authenticity of traditional construction but do not want to immediately undertake a major renovation.

Living area connected to the terrace

The ground floor, measuring 41,00 m², is organised as the main everyday living area of the house: it includes a living room with kitchen and dining area, a summer kitchen, terrace, WC and staircase. This layout works particularly well in summer, when daily life naturally moves from the interior towards the terrace and swimming pool.

The summer kitchen makes outdoor living even easier – breakfast, lunch or evening gatherings can take place by the terrace without having to spend the entire day indoors.

Two bedrooms without unnecessary space

Internal stairs lead to the first floor of 45,10 m², where there are two bedrooms, one bathroom and a hallway. The sleeping area is therefore clearly separated from the living space on the ground floor, making the house practical both for family stays and for holiday rentals.

The two bedrooms are an important advantage of this property. The buyer gets practical accommodation for family or guests without paying for extra rooms and floor area that may never be needed.

A pool and garden that do not demand much

The house stands on a plot with a total area of 212 m², entirely located within the building zone. The outdoor area is large enough to enjoy life outside, yet compact enough that maintenance does not become an obligation every time you come on holiday.

The centrepiece of the outdoor area is the heated swimming pool measuring 22,00 m². It has a concrete structure, foil lining, saltwater treatment with chlorine electrolysis and water heating. Next to the pool is a sunbathing area with loungers and a shower.

Olive trees and lavender give the garden a Mediterranean character, while the wall with metal fencing and sliding entrance gate clearly define the private area of the property. One parking space is also provided.

Peaceful hinterland of Rovinj

The house is located in a village away from the main traffic routes, in the hinterland of Rovinj and only 3 km from Kanfanar. The location therefore offers what many buyers seek in a holiday home – a peaceful setting without a feeling of complete isolation.

The sea and beach are approximately 13 km away, making it possible to spend the day by the pool and reach the coast with a short drive whenever you feel like going to the sea. The south-west orientation also suits a lifestyle in which the terrace, pool and outdoor living play an important role in everyday life.

For buyers who want fewer obligations, not less enjoyment

This house particularly suits a couple or small family looking for a stone house in Istria with two proper bedrooms, a private pool and outdoor living space, but without the need to pay for and maintain a large villa and hundreds of square metres of garden.

Its value lies precisely in this well-balanced combination: enough space for a comfortable stay, a private pool and terrace for summer days, traditional stone character and a location from which Kanfanar, Rovinj and the coast are all easily accessible.
