Journal

Notes from the house, the village and the week

Everything we get asked before a booking, written out properly: how twenty people actually divide between nine bedrooms, when the pool is worth heating, what an inland base gives you that the coast doesn't. Written by the people who look after the house.

The house and its heated pool inside the walled garden, in full sun
The house

Forty-four panels, and a house that runs on sunshine

On sunny days Villa Bucks is completely off-grid. Around 80% of the power is made on site, the hot water is solar as well, and the batteries carry the night — including through the power cuts you would otherwise notice.

The long dining table on the covered terrace, set for a group meal
Planning a stay

Two or three families under one roof

Where to put the grandparents, which floor the teenagers should have, and why a second full kitchen upstairs quietly solves most of it.

The planted garden along the stone wall, fenced and shaded by olive trees
Practical

Bringing the dog to Istria

1,200 m² of fenced olive garden, twenty euros a day per pet, and the paperwork worth sorting before you cross a border.

Still deciding? Just ask us directly.

Anything not covered here — group sizes, cots, the second kitchen, EV charging — comes back in writing, usually the same day.
