Location
About the surrounding area of Casa DimasThe medieval town of Svetvinčenat lies on Croatia’s Istrian peninsula, around 30 minutes north of Pula. Its centrality makes it a fine base for exploring the wider region. In recent years, it has become something of an attraction as more people discover its appealing architecture, cuisine and cultural offerings.
As Croatian wines grow in popularity and stature, Svetvinčenat does its bit to promote the best of the region with an annual New Wine Festival each autumn. In July, it’s cheese which takes centre stage, with the Svetvinčenat Cheese Festival hosting artisanal cheese makers from all over Croatia and neighbouring Slovenia, too.
Svetvinčenat’s main square, Placa, and castle, Morosini-Grimani, are among its highlights, earning it a reputation as one of Istria’s best-preserved medieval towns. There is also a small selection of nice eateries in Svetvinčenat, including some good pizzerias.

Region
Nestled along Croatia’s enchanting Adriatic coastline, Istria welcomes visitors with open arms and a rich tapestry of experiences waiting to be unraveled. Whether you're seeking adventure in nature, indulgence in culinary delights, a glimpse into history and culture, or simply a warm and inviting atmosphere, the peninsula of Istria has it all.
Istria's diverse and unspoiled landscapes will be the first thing to capture your attention! The region is renowned for its lush green hills, rolling vineyards, and enchanting coastline: the stunning scenery is a playground for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and beachgoers alike.
Offering a remarkable 445 kilometres of pristine coastline, including tranquil coves and sandy beaches, visitors can find plenty of secluded spots to soak up the sun. The clear, azure waters of the Adriatic are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy an active day of water sports.
Venture inland and you'll discover picturesque villages set amidst rolling hills and verdant forests. Istria is home to over 30 nature reserves - an absolute haven for hikers and cyclists, with an abundance of well-marked trails to explore. The Učka Nature Park, in particular, stands out as a hiking and nature lover's paradise, offering waterfalls, historic villages, and breathtaking panoramic views of Istria's outstanding scenery.
Istria's rich history is woven into the fabric of its towns and cities. An ever popular choice for tourists is the impressive port city of Pula, full of quaint town squares and local restaurants, and home to one of the most well-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. This ancient arena, known as the Pula Arena, is a testament to Istria's Roman heritage and hosts numerous events, including concerts and film festivals.
The medieval towns of Rovinj and Motovun enchant visitors with their cobbled streets and historic charm. The Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning example of early Christian art and architecture.
Istria's culinary scene is a treat for the taste buds: the region is famous for its truffles, particularly the elusive white truffle, and you can savour dishes infused with this prized delicacy in charming local restaurants across the region. Wine and olive oil lovers will find joy in Istria's vineyards and olive groves, offering tastings and insights into traditional production methods. Fresh seafood, often served with a Mediterranean twist, is a staple that you can enjoy at quaint waterfront eateries along the coastline.
One of the most enduring memories visitors take away from Istria is the warmth of its people. The locals are known for their friendly, welcoming nature and their willingness to share their traditions and stories with tourists. You'll find yourself immersed in the local way of life, whether you're exploring ancient towns or enjoying a meal in a family-run tavern.
Istria is easily accessible, with Pula Airport serving as a major gateway. Once you arrive, navigating the region is a breeze with well-maintained roads connecting major towns and villages. Language barriers are minimal, thanks to the widespread use of English, Italian, and German, alongside the local Croatian language.
Istria’s unique blend of pristine landscapes, rich traditions, and warm-hearted locals creates an experience that will linger in your memories long after you've returned home.

Extremely high spec
Extremely high spec, like a 5 star hotel. Service and communication with Andrea was exceptional... frequent and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.

Absolutely loved it!
My business team and I stayed at the Casa Dimas and we absolutely loved it! The house is beyond beautiful, very simple, functional, clean and perfect for bigger groups or families! We loved the open space kitchen/living room area which was where we spent the majority of our time. The rooms are close to five star hotel rooms and each has a separate bathroom! We also really enjoyed the heated jacuzzi on the terrace as well as the sauna/gym area. Overall, incredible value for your money, a great host and an unforgettable experience! We will be coming back!

Amazing holiday!
We are just back from a 2 week family break staying at the beautiful Casa Dimas and from the oldest (83 years) to the youngest (13 years) we had an amazing holiday. The villa is one of the most luxurious we have stayed in and the setting was spectacular, it is such a peaceful place. From the moment we arrived (with some fine wines already chilled for us) the owner looked after us so well. From organising transport and booking reservation for dinner, to helping with some medical treatment that was needed, nothing was a problem. We have never gone back to the same place preferring to try somewhere new each summer, however this is the first time we all agreed that Istria and in particular, Casa Dimas are definitely getting a second visit.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
