Puhovski is one of 3 apartments in our renovated stone house for guests in small village of total 5 houses. It is located near Lupoglav town that is part of central Istrian region hugged by mountains Ucka and Cicarija. It's the smallest (app. 40sq meters) and on one level with direct entrance to the garden with old big wooden tables, hammocks and forest breeze full of magic. Lupoglav town is easily accessible ... by high way and local roads which connects Zagreb, Ljubljana, Trieste, Venice, Pula and Rijeka that all have its airports and bus and train station that are connected with major and smaller european cities. Lupoglav is 2 km from our village and it's in 15 minutes of walking distance. Our village has remodelled barn that used to be house for cows and now is multifunctional space for workshops, teambuildings, intimate celebrations and also as a workspace. Lupoglav has a bus/train station that provides connections with Rijeka and Istrian cities and villages on its route. Next to the town hall and grocery shop 2 e-bikes can be rented and also bring to the train if you want to explore more places in a day. Regular bikes can be rented at Pazin, Opatija or Rijeka and most of them will bring them on your address. Car is very convient in this rural hilly area but it can be managed even without it. Using trains, buses or walking to the next place gives special authentic feeling and experience and it's not that uncommon giving this area is full of walking, hiking and bike trails. There are 2 grocery shops in Lupoglav and bigger supermarkets can be found (the nearest) in Buzet which is 15 min away by car or in Labin, Pazin. This area is famous for local family owned restaurants called konobas that serve local, home-made and seasonal food. The nearest is in Lupoglav (2 km away). Puhovski has its own washing machine and drying reck (and space outside for drying on clean air). Also, laundry service drying machine can be found in Pazin, Buzet and Labin (all within 15-25 min of driving distance). If you love to be outdoor here you will find many beautiful medival little towns on top of the hills that are reachable also with hiking trails. And once you are there, comfortably tired you will find a local restaurant with home-made pasta and seasonal dishes (with pumpkin, truffles, asparagus, mushrooms...). As we are surrounded by 2 mountains there are numerous paths you can discover with the views that will leave you in awe - looking over a bay with islands, a Istrian region and green hills and view that spreads to the Venice and Alps (on a clear day, especially after a strong wind called 'bura'). Our village gives you experience of slow living, enjoying the beauty each of the seasons bring - from foraging on meadows and local forest, gardening and enjoying the fruits of it - baske of fresh products we grew for your own daily cooking or having a cooking experiences in interactive and authentic way, taking a part in olive harvest to taking a part in awakening of this tiny village from a long sleep through renovation projects (eg. learning how to make a dry stone wall or repurposing some object for a new function).
