Stone House La Boutique
A meticulously renovated 18th-century stone house has been artfully transformed into a lavish holiday retreat, offering an exquisite experience. Spanning three floors and boasting a total area of 64 square meters, it graciously accommodates up to four people. The owners have taken great care to preserve the house's original spirit, maintaining its charming stone and wooden elements throughout the interior. To further enhance the ambiance, they have tastefully incorporated elegant pink accents in the form of cushions, armchairs, candles, and other decorative elements, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication.
La Boutique offers guests access to two charming bedrooms and shared spaces for socializing, including the kitchen and dining area, which provides a cozy gathering spot around the fireplace. Throughout the entire cottage, you can experience the comfort of underfloor heating and air conditioning, ensuring a delightful stay regardless of the season.
Graceful wooden staircases gracefully ascend from the ground floor to the upper levels, where you will find the bedrooms. The interior is tastefully adorned in a captivating Provencal style with delightful shabby chic accents. The house's unique character is brought to life by combining custom-made furniture and carefully curated pieces sourced from an antique shop in Trieste.
Although the stone house was discovered in a sorry state, its essence served as inspiration for the interior design. Extensive renovations beautifully preserved some reminders of its past, such as the enchanting exposed stone walls, adding a touch of history and charm to the overall ambiance.
If you're considering renting this enchanting house in Grožnjan, prices for September and October range from €130 to €170 per day, and you can make your reservation on Booking.com.
