A quiet location surrounded by nature
Peace of mind is the ultimate point of complete rest, relaxation and pleasure. Some places simply radiate with such aura - and they are naturally predestined to be the points where this wonderful cleansing takes place.
The experience of a real escape from the gloomy everyday life, the salvation from the rapacious hand of urban jungle, the distance from the increasingly present (and increasingly dangerous) technology - is the sacred grail of a contemporary man.
Already at the entrance to the Villa Vlastelini estate which is located at the Santo Spirito site, we realize that we are in a place that will give us exactly that kind of relaxation. Greenery supremely rains, in its most beautiful and natural shades, and scattered details of stone, through roads, walls and buildings faithfully based on the tradition of rural Istria, only add to the exquisite, almost perfect colours.
The host will make sure to make your stay even more enjoyable and carefree, and he is available to you for all the information, reservations and other help you need.

6 types of wood and stone
The estate is located on nearly 20,000 square meters of carefully landscaped grounds, and it contains almost all the natural benefits of rural Istria - a mini farm with domestic animals, orchards and vegetable garden, from which the guests can consume ecologically grown fruits, an outdoor fireplace with a grill and numerous recreational facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools, golf exercises and trekking paths.
Arriving at the house, we pass through a unique stone path made of carved Glagolitic alphabet, an ancient Slavic script used in Istria until the 19th century.
Being close and feeling far - priceless! Especially when it comes to a place chosen for a vacation. Closeness of provisions and contents, good traffic connections and a small distance from the urban centre are certainly desirable, especially if you are on a family holiday with children.
On the other hand, the true relaxation is only possible with the feeling of intimacy, discretion and mild isolation from modern civilization and busy everyday life. Villa Vlastelini, an autonomous country estate close to the old town of Labin, is where both desires meet.
It is a great advantage as well as additional security that the owner's residence is located just by the estate. Of course, separate entrance, access road and fence guarantee full discretion.

Family Vlačić
Family nickname of the Vlačić family is Vlastelini (Gentry). Gentry were medieval noblemen, land owners in the Middle Ages.
The origin of the Vlačić family is also linked to the name of the most famous Istrian and Croatian reformer Matija Vlačić Ilirik (Matthias Flacius Illyricus) born in Labin (1520-1575). He is the greatest Croatian Protestant theologian and church historian and philologist who was educated in Wittenberg and cooperated closely with the icon of Protestantism - Martin Luther.
