The region of Istria in Croatia is made up of a fertile landscape that is full of verdant valleys and rolling hills blanketed in farms and vineyards. It is an area of truly exceptional natural beauty but is also a place that produces wonderful harvests and is, therefore, a destination in which you can expect to eat well and a brilliant place to holiday if you are a wine-lover. If you have been considering a vacation in Croatia and you want to visit an area where there are some excellent vineyards to visit in the vicinity, then a villa in Istria is just the thing! We have previously written about the modern and stylish Kozlović Winery with its great views and delicious wines and snacks but, among the other wonderful wineries in the region, we are today talking about Benvenuti.

Guest Reviews for Palma
We vstayed in Palma with four adults and one child (2,5 years). It is a beautiful house, excellent location, nice garden, sufficient parking space and superb pool with four nice stretchers. The big balcony upstairs was our favorite spot. The living area is completely upstairs. Palma is -to our opinion- not suited for 8 people. One bathroom is located downstairs, conveniently close to the pool, but has no warm water and is not practicle in use when living upstairs. The utensils are simple and effective, but not for 8 people. The refrigerator is small and has no freezing compartment. The downstairs located bar (see picture) was closed and not available. The owners live next door and are very friendly and respect your privacy. The communication is difficult. We asked via EasyReserve for a baby bed, which was agreed upon (for €5/day !!) but was not available. Luckily we could by one ourselves and we did not have to pay the €5 /day. There are multiple good sitting areas downstairs, one of them with the BBQ closeby. As a small improvement we recommend to put some lighting above them so they can be used during darkness. Pula, Porec, Rovinj, Brijuni island and Motovun are worthwhile a visit.
