Authentic Charm With Modern Twist
Located in the town Vidovići, which owes its name to the wonderful panoramic view of the sea, the tip of Istria and the nearby islands (Zeča, Unije, Srakane, Susak, Lošinj), these charming houses will leave you breathless. As you step inside these houses, you are immediately greeted with a breathtaking blend of modern aesthetics and timeless charm. The interior spaces boast open-plan layouts that invite an abundance of natural light, seamlessly enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living. Thoughtfully curated furnishings, handpicked art pieces, and custom-made fixtures reflect the sisters' flair for blending contemporary design with a touch of cultural heritage.
What truly sets Nataša and Ingrid's work apart is their masterful preservation of the authentic charm of these old buildings. They have breathed new life into the timeworn walls by skillfully integrating modern concrete and steel elements, resulting in a unique fusion of old-world charm and contemporary sophistication.
The attention to detail is remarkable, as every aspect of the renovation was carried out with utmost care and love. Nataša and Ingrid collaborated exclusively with local artisans from the island and Istria, ensuring that the spirit of the region flows through every corner of their homes. Moreover, they diligently restored and reconditioned old furniture and elements, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Imagine sleeping on a bed dressed in century-old linen—such a beautiful nod to the past and a sustainable choice that warms both heart and soul.
The architecture of Vidovići houses is a fascinating blend of old and new. The original stone houses proudly display their history, from the rustic floors to the sturdy walls. But don't be surprised to spot modern concrete and steel elements that tastefully contrast with the traditional structure, creating an unmistakable identity for these holiday homes.
Apart from the carefully curated interiors, you'll find yourself falling in love with the unique pebble flooring, adding a touch of natural beauty to your stay. It's the little details like these that make Sisters-Homes stand out as an extraordinary getaway.
Holiday Houses Vidovići 9 and 5
The houses, Vidovići 9 and 5, each possess their own distinct character, yet they share an air of welcoming warmth that instantly makes you feel at home. Vidovići 9 boasts one bedroom with a cozy sleeping gallery, providing comfortable accommodation for 2-4 people. The open living room, kitchen, and dining area seamlessly blend together, creating a perfect space for relaxation and bonding. The en-suite bathroom is another delightful touch that ensures convenience and privacy.
Meanwhile, Vidovići 5 stands tall as a four-story holiday house, with two accommodation units designed to accommodate up to 4 people. Adjacent to the main house is a separate unit called "Small Spaces Magazine," providing additional space for up to 2 people. This ingenious design allows guests to rent the magazine unit individually or combine it with the main house for larger groups.
Sustainability
The sisters' commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of their homes. In Vidovići, water is a precious resource, and the village relies on rainwater collected in its own cisterns. The responsible disposal of wastewater in modern 3-chamber septic tanks is just one of the many ways the residents of Vidovići contribute to preserving the island's natural beauty. By valuing and conserving their environment, the villagers protect the island's rich biodiversity, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and eco-conscious travelers alike.
As if their impeccable architectural achievements weren't enough, Nataša and Ingrid's dedication to eco-friendliness and sustainable living earned them well-deserved recognition. Their work has been featured in prominent publications like "Selection Books Holiday Architecture 2019" and their magazine "Space & Time," where they received numerous accolades. This year, they proudly stand as the only Croatian representative in the book "Good Places for Good People," which celebrates 50 sustainable properties across Europe. You can also find them on their website: www.sisters-homes.com.
