The family-owned Casa Romantica La Parenzana is a rugged former farmhouse with thick stone walls, wooden beams and open fireplaces, offering fine Istrian cuisine and free internet. Located close to Buje in Istria, on the former tracks of the Parenzana Railway Line, the historical towns of Motovun and Grožnjan are just about a few kilometres away from the Casa Romantica La Parenzana. Traditional local food like Čripnja - roasted meat or fish and potatoes cooked in a cast iron pot over an open hearth fire - or dishes with truffles are served in the Konoba restaurant. All rooms are heated and have an en-suite bathroom and a TV. Internet access is available for free at the reception.

Property information

Starting April 2017, Your new host at Casa Romantica La Parenzana will be Mr. Gordan Prodan. Situated in a rural area of Istria just 10 km from the sea, it is a peaceful oasis for relaxation and an ideal starting point for daily exploration of this beautiful area. The “Casa Romantica Parenzana” is located on the “Parenzana” an old disused Austro-Hungarian railway line that once connected Trieste with Poreč. The old railway is currently under restoration as a bike trail and passes through three countries (Italy, Slovenia and Croatia). Our location is ideal for exploring both the popular coastal resorts as well as the picturesque inland heart of Istria with its historical hilltop towns of Motovun and Grožnjan.
