House Sandi, village Juršići

House Sandi sits in the quiet Istrian village of Juršići, a four-star property that earns its exceptional rating through the kind of attentive, personal hospitality that larger establishments rarely manage. With a score of 9.6 from its guests, this is clearly a place where the details are handled with care, operating at a scale that allows genuine attention to each visitor. It positions itself as a considered retreat rather than a standard hotel room, drawing guests who want something more grounded and characterful than a resort.

Juršići places you in the heart of the Istrian peninsula, within easy reach of Pula's Roman amphitheatre and the broader network of hilltop towns, olive groves and coastal inlets that define this part of Croatia. The surrounding countryside rewards those who want to explore at their own pace, and having complimentary parking on site removes one of the practical irritants of travelling through rural Istria by car.

The outdoor pool makes the property genuinely viable as a base for summer stays rather than merely a place to sleep between excursions. Rooms are non-smoking throughout, and free WiFi is reliably available. This suits independent travellers and couples who want a quieter, more residential experience of Istria without sacrificing comfort, and who would rather wake up to village calm than to the ambient noise of a busy coastal town.
