About this apartment rental
The Casa Benussi apartment is in a much photographed Venetian Gothic house in prime position on the main square of the medieval town of Vodjnan in Istria. A sweeping circular stone staircase leads to the the apartment on the second floor. The rooms are very spacious and light with great views from all 8 windows! The property has been modernised with attention to the preservation of the original character. Vodnjan is 20 minutes from Pula airport (Ryanair), 2 hours from Rijeka airport and Trieste airport. It is also 20 minutes from Rovinj and 5 minutes from the ferry to Brijuni Islands. The apartment has a shared roof top terrace with spectacular views over the countryside, distant mountains and nearby sea. The local area is excellent for biking, exploring, walking and rock climbing. Nearby Pula has a large Roman amphitheatre, a busy harbour as well as museums, shops and many cultural and sporting activities. Frequent bus service.
Summer event: The town of Vodnjan has an extended programme of events in the summer, particularly in August. Our position is pretty much the equivalent of a 'Royal Box' for such events.

If you want to escape the tourists and yet stay in a lovely apartment which looks on to the medieval square this is Benussi. Vodnjan is full of undiscovered historical treasures. The locals are very friendly and the pace of life is relaxed. Yet within 20 minutes you can be where all the action is in Rovinj or Pula. And the beach is 5 minutes by car if you want to have a dip in the clear waters of the Adriatic.

This location, right over a cafe on the main square, facing a Venetian-style Renaissance building, can’t be beat. Out every window is a picture postcard view. That said, the property feels as though you are staying in an extra room at a friend’s house that is sometimes used for storage: in the master bedroom a vacuum cleaner was left out next to the sofa, an extra mattress was leaning against the wall behind that same sofa. A mop in a bucket was left inside the foyer by the front door and a collection of a half a dozen used sponges were left on the bathroom window sill with the green plastic netting over the window peeling off. Houseflies and mosquitos were bothersome at night as no other windows have screens. Several lightbulbs were burnt out. The loft bedroom over the living room would be handy for kids but it does have an open staircase. Access to the apartment is up a stone circular staircase. While basic, the apartment does allow one to enjoy the rhythms of a small village, especially wonderful after six pm when it seemed that the only folks in town were local. The local property manager, Gordana, was helpful and even brought us a bottle of olive oil from her favorite producer. The two restaurants in town are very good and for fish, the coastal town of Fažana, with several restaurants, is only a ten minute drive away.
