Good day, It’s and old Istrian house (1883), which was recently renovated (2018), in front of the house there’s a beautiful old mulberry and lindens tree, also known as lime tree, which are very typical for Istria. There’s a large table under the lindens tree, where you can sit and enjoy the shade and breeze even on the hottest of summer days and where you can marvel at the picturesque house, with its stable or barn, barn for pigs and the wine cellar. On the other side of the courtyard, which is partly paved and partly grassy, there is a gorgeous view of the entire valley. The house is also pet friendly since the property is also fenced, so you can also have your dogs with you and they would be able move freely and have a lot of space. And the courtyard is big enough for all sorts of activities such as table tennis, badminton, volleyball and so on. The interior of the house is renovated (bathroom, bedrooms) but the essence of the old Istrian house is left, for example in the kitchen is the old "šporgert" (old wooden stove).

In the immediate vicinity of the house there are many walking paths and natural attractions to see (natural bridge, waterfall, church St. Kvirik). But you can also visit other places, like the nearby village of Hrastovlje, where there is a very famous old church, home to the famous fresco mural painting “Dance of Death”, or the famous climbing wall in Osp. On of the most famous caves on the whole world are 50 km away- Postojna cave.

The Lukini village lies between the villages of Gračišče and Sočerga, near the Slovenian and Croatian border. It’s a very small village, as you can almost count all the houses using your two hands, and the number of inhabitants isn’t much larger either. The village is therefore very tranquil. Because of its geographical location under the Krast edge it sits in the sun throughout the day.Near the village there’s a well-known footpath with many natural sites. If you decide to travel by bike you can easily visit other typical Istrian villages which are mostly inhabited by the very friendly older generation. In the neighboring village of Gračišče there’s a smaller restaurant and a grocery store.The village of Lukini is near enough to the Slovenian or Croatian coastal cities so that you can sightsee or go to the beach, but at the same time it is far enough so that you have a peaceful stay and you aren’t disturbed by the general city noises (factories, port…). If you wish to you can also visit the Croatian Istrian villages (Buzet, Motovun...) where there’s a lot of sites and a lot of good small restaurants, or you can choose to go to the Istrske Toplice Spa or the water park Istralandia.
