The Move #1

If you follow this blog or our Twitter account, you’ll maybe have guessed that at some point, a move to warmer climes might be on the cards. We’ve been looking, on our travels, for the perfect property, for quite a long time, but nothing ever seemed *quite* right. Location, price, style, accessibility – nothing ever […]

Grožnjan, Istria

Grožnjan, Istria

Grožnjan (or, Grisignana, as it is also referred to by its Italian name), a small Istrian town of great cultural significance not only in Croatia but also internationally, lives its summer months very intensely. Every year at the beginning of May, the little streets and squares of Grožnjan-Grisignana metamorphose and turn into a truly artistic […]

Motovun, Istria

Motovun is a medieval hilltop village, deep in central Istria. It is isolated, in Istrian terms – although having done a fair bit of travelling, we weren’t phased by this. It’s accessible by good roads and is well sign-posted in both Croatian and Italian. It is visible from miles away, as you cruise along the […]

Our love of Italy is strong. Very strong. Very few places have even come close to stealing our hearts, but we think we might be about to commit adultery. Although, we feel not too guilty as what we are about to do is with Istria, a region in northern Croatia which had a long period […]

Zadar, Croatia

Zadar, Croatia

Following on from the last blog, arriving somewhere at night is always the best as the next morning is always a surprise. On arriving in Zadar, we were greeted with Manchester drizzle – although still warm – BUT a word of warning! If you are like me, and have a penchant for flip flops or […]

Getting to Zadar

Getting to Zadar

Until very recently, Zadar wasn’t on our radar. We’d always fancied Croatia, but the pull of Italy has always been stronger, until very recently when the British summer made us do a quick flight search in for sun and we saw inexpensive flights to Zadar and booked there and then, to leave a few days […]
