Glavini Eco Village
Description
Charming little village, Glavini, lies in over 7 acres of organically run farmland, in sight of the town of Draguć, in Central Istria. It sits nestled in a landscape of gentle, rolling hills, rich in Mediterranean flora and fauna. On the estate there is 300 organically grown olive trees as well as 30 cherry, a dozen fig and many apple, peach, pear and plum trees, all organically produced along with vegetable garden. From our fresh produce we make organic food, olive oil and herbal teas.
We believe that we are an integral part of the earth and nature and we use renewable energy as much as we can. The property is fitted with solar collectors with an under floor heating system, run using renewable energy. Water is collected from the roof, so as not to waste precious resources. There is also connection to a natural spring with drinkable fresh water.
The first priority is the comfort of our guests, 5 double bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms, are designed to provide a quiet stay and are thermally insulated. The property with an additional guest house is capable of accommodating up to 16 people. The friendly service and high standards of both food and accommodation will best suit those seeking superior quality in an elegant, natural and tranquil setting. It is the perfect location for exploring the delights of Istria, the rest of Croatia, Slovenia (20km) and Italy (30km) as well as many tourist spots in the surrounding area.
Except for the functionality we also tried to make Glavini Estate to be aesthetically pleasing, while we haven’t changed the authentic look and feel of the place. In cooperation with nature and its fruits, within the landscape far from the noise, traffic and crowd, Glavini Estate is an impeccable choice for the people desirous of a sincere coexistence with nature and tranquility. Things to do can be unique, refreshing, imaginative, surprising – Glavini Estate and Istria can offer all this and more. Whether you are looking from your holiday... action, inspiration, relaxation or want to discover Istrian treasures and people do it your own way and these are just some suggestions...
In autumn we have truffles from nearby woods and it is possible to organise unique ‘truffle hunting’ experiences. In that period we also harvest grapes and olives with organic production of vine and cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. In winter from 15.01.to 15.02 we have unique traditional Carnival events, with rich entertainment program. The spring is reserved for picking the asparagus and other healthy herbal plants. The summer brings a plenty of choices from visiting the nearby sea resorts south, east and west from us or checking out some of many regional art and cultural festivals.
