LOCATION OF THE VILLAS
ABOUT BARIĆI
The little Istrian village of Barići is situated on the West part of the Istrian peninsula, on the Višnjan-Motovun road. It is 12 km away from the sea (Poreč), and 3 km from the little town of Višnjan, and also 3 km from the new highway exit (the Istrian Y) Kopar-Pula.
Surrounding Barić, there are beautiful meadows, grain fields and forrests, and one can see all the way to the Učka mountain. The area is famous for its renowned truffles, wine (Teran and Malvasia), as well as Istrian prosciutto ham and Istrian sausages.
Very close to the village there is the Višnjan Astronomical Observatory, which tells of the air purity in this part of Istria, where it is possible to enjoy the beautiful, clean and serene surroundings, as well as the exquisite Istrian food and drinks in the many Istrian taverns and restaurants.
There are 11 houses in the village of Barići. The building plan for the next 20 years only allows for building another 15 houses, which is a guarantee of a serene and peaceful environment and enjoying the idillic rural ambience.
The villas we built have been projected so as to incorporate all of the traditional elements of the original Istrian houses, which were built with Istrian brick and rock, and have been equipped with central heating and air-conditioning systems, as well as garden pools. The lot surface sizes vary between 600m2 and 1,000m2.
ABOUT VIŠNJAN
Višnjan is a small Istrian town situated on the top of a hill. It is surrounded by forests, and is located 10km (6 miles) North-East of Poreč. The antique terrace on the square, which is entered through a Venetian arc, gives one a remarkable view of the sea. Ever since the days of Venetian rule, Višnjan had served as a renowned commercial center, where all sorts of agricultural products and tools were being sold. Even today, every last Thursday of the month there is a traditional open market held there, which is a special attraction for people from all over Istria.
As you pass the stone road down the hill from the place where Višnjan is located, you will be able to see an early Gothic church od St. Anton the Abbot built in 14th century. The road leads to the city gates, which have been decorated in bas-relief with the motif of the Venice Lion from 1517 with the pride of the city hiding behind it – the old city square. The square has been partly surrounded by the city wall, which was built during the 13th and 14th centuries. The square contains a 27-meter high bellfry, a city lodge from the 18th century, a well, and a parish church of St.Kvirik and Julita dating back from 19th century.
Whatever you need, you can find it in Višnjan: restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops, a bank, a pharmacy, a medical center, and a post office. In Višnjan's surrounding area you can dine in one of the traditional Istrian taverns, where you will be able to enjoy the original Istrian specialties and get a taste of the region's highest quality wines, Malvasia and Teran.
