Kantina Romano
An excellent choice
Regardless of whether you are for a snack or a full meal, only 10 m from our holiday home is the farm tourism "KANTINA ROMANO", which is open on Saturdays and Sundays and offers a selection of home-prepared dishes. The housewife carefully prepares a menu with fresh, healthy and, above all, local ingredients, which meets many dietary requirements. But if you're not hungry, you can also visit them just for a chat over a glass of homemade drink and who knows, maybe you'll try one of their house specialties?
Cycling
Our place is an excellent starting point for professional or amateur cycling. There are many cycling routes to choose from, from more challenging to easier routes. The roads connecting the Istrian villages are less busy and suitable for younger cyclists as well. You can also drive to the coastal towns of Koper, Izola and Piran, just 15 km away, and cycle along the cycle paths along our Slovenian coast.
Hiking
For those who bet on a stable attitude, we recommend hikes in our wonderful nature, past vineyards and olive groves where it really smells like Istria.
Hiking trails are marked, and there are some for those who like to explore. You can take a walk in the valley of the Dragonja river or cross the Šavrin hills, all in our vicinity.

Popetrae
The village of Popetre has been on the trail since Roman times.

A small part of the route is taken along a forest road, while the majority of the route is on the road.
Waterfall Veli Vir
A wonderful waterfall that, although it is difficult for water to reach it in the summer months, is all the more convincing in the spring and autumn months, when it radiates all its beauty. You can reach the waterfall if you descend into the valley from the village of Sokoliči, which is only 7.5 km away from us.
