Description from the owner
"Vila Besida" - where you will come to your senses
A luxuriously refurbished stone house “Vila Besida” situated in an Istrian village Peruški.
"We have spent most summers in the past decade at Villa Besida, observing how this family has lovingly restored and developed the house, with exquisite taste. There is nothing more perfect that the evening view from the terrace. The village is on the south-east coast of Istria, with the more touristic areas a short drive away. Perfectly suited to our family, which includes two children now aged 10 and 12. We cannot recommend it highly enough."

Additional Location Information
Besida is situated at the end of the village and surrounded by olive trees and lavender fields. The Pula airport is only 20min driving from the vilage. The village is lightly populated (around 100 inhabitants), regardless, there is a bar and a local shop. You can reach semi private beaches with magnificently clear water by car through the woods in less than 10 minutes drive.
Wine-cellar selling exquisite and award-winning wine and olive oil is 5 minutes drive away.
"PULA in Croatia is best known for its unspoilt scenery, wine-making and fishing. That’s if you’ve heard of it at all.
(...)
Pula’s ancient treasures include an impressive Roman amphitheatre that now plays host to the city’s film festival every July.
Our very own relic Sir Tom Jones played there last summer too.
The city’s gates, walls and temples are a monumental treat and you can cover them all easily on foot.
Then head for the picturesque main street, Sergijevaca, where you’ll find souvenir shops, pretty bars and restaurants overflowing with locals.
(...)
No time for hangovers, though. Next stop was the Brijuni Islands, a short ferry ride away. Once a part of Italy, the islands were ceded to Yugoslavia after World War Two.
The stunning port is carpeted with ancient pines and a 1,700-year-old olive tree. The best way to nip around the island is on a golf buggy.
Almost 100 heads of state visited there and Yugoslavia’s leader Marshal Tito made it his summer home, along with stars including Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
There’s a cute tourist train that lulls past 13th Century St Mary’s Church but the main attraction on the island is a safari park full of animals descended from those given as gifts to Tito.
After fun in the sun, naturally we had to finish off with a selection of the finest seafood and wine, washed down with lethal local honey brandy.
The harbourside restaurant Korta finished us off with dish after dish of delicious fish.
The final meal of the holiday was at local restaurant Konoba Batelina. The owner, a fisherman, has his family serving up a variety of — yes, you guessed it — fish.
Watching the sun go down on the terrace while eating a variety of delicacies, from juicy scallops to raw sushi and brudet (fish ghoulash), then a variety of desserts like homemade cheesecake and our favourite mint chocolate mousse, ensured a food coma and the first decent night’s sleep of the trip.
If you want to impress, then take your loved one to this magical city."
(The Sun: Loud and lovely Croatias Pula is pretty special)
We tend to be as much Earth friendly as possible.
That is one of the reasons why we have decided to invest our future funds in renewable sources of energy instead of investing in a pool. We believe that one can enjoy nature without the pool and that swimming in the amazingly clear sea on the nearby secluded beaches is a more valuable experience.

ZagrebDefinitely worth visiting!!
Left on 02/13/2013 for a stay in July 2012
I have spent three summers in Villa Besida and I carry only good memories. This house is made in antique style with great sense for details. It is situated at the end of the village ( gives you high level of privacy because of that ) with a beautiful view of the sea. Actually can't tell what impressed me the most, beautiful evenings on the terrace with great view of the sky full of stars or early morning coffee with stunning view of the sea and lavander field. Each room is a whole unique story which makes you feel like home. I will definitely come back and I reccommend to everyone to visit Villa Besida.

ParisRural oasis in the heart of Istra
Left on 02/09/2013 for a stay in July 2010
I spent only ten days in Vila Beside, but this place I will remember like heaven on Earth. Placed in a picturesque village, surrounded by fields of lavander, this oasis of peace still offers all the luxurities of the sharpest hotels, but in it's own unique design. I imagine that Vila Besida had been uninhabited for a long time and required hard work and imagination. The result is inspired simplicity, an eclectic villa packed with small stories of objects experienced and worn by the passage of years, interspersed with new pieces of high quality.
It certainly has exceeded all my expectations and I am sure I will be back again, but this time for a longer period of time! -

Sisak10/10 - will come again!
Left on 01/31/2013 for a stay in June 2011
The house is located in a very quiet location and has a wonderful view of the sea from the top floor. Although it is quite isolated (the whole village of Peruški is small and peacefull), there are a lot of other small, historic places worth visiting (like Motovun and Grožnjan) really close to the location, that you can visit by car. Villa Besida offers a high level of privacy which made it ideal for my small group of friends. The beaches that surround the village were remarkable. The villa is beautifully decorated in the classical Tuscan style (the bathrooms are especially worth pointing out :) We had a great time there and would recomend it to everyone!
