Apartmani Elio

Inside the inland village of Materada, on Istria's rural plateau between Poreč and the Slovenian border, Apartmani Elio occupies a family-run stone property on Zagrebacka street, ten minutes by car from the nearest coastal beaches. The setting suits travelers wanting a quiet countryside base with easy access to Istria's vineyards rather than a seafront address.

Units keep private kitchens and terraces overlooking surrounding farmland, geared toward self-catering stays and longer visits. Materada's back roads connect quickly to Poreč's marina and to inland konoba restaurants serving Istrian truffle and wine specialties, making a car useful though not essential for shorter stays.
