About Istria
Tone Tuscany down a notch or two thin the tourist hordes, lower the prices, sprinkle a little mystique and you get Istria. Shaped like a heart, this Italian-flavoured peninsula of 3600 sq km is where continental Croatia meets the Adriatic. In summer months, the sun-and-sea set storms the resort-lined coast, or so-called blue Istria. For art, food, wine and an offbeat vibe, head to the interior, nicknamed green Istria a bucolic dream of rolling hills, hilltop villages, rural B&Bs and farmhouse restaurants.
About the Village of Grimalda
Grimalda is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sights in central Istria located on a 447 meters high hill. It is mentioned for the first time in 1202. and the settlement existed even in prehistoric times. Thanks to the climate, the area around Grimalda has excellent conditions for the cultivation of grapes and olives, and consequently, the locals are known as being excellent wine makers and olive producers. It is the perfect peaceful romantic retreat... yet the entire Istria peninsula with towns like Pula and Rovinj is within a short drive on excellent roads. Small hilltop medieval settlements and towns like Motovun are doted all around. Excellent and very good value restaurants are found in every direction. A day trip with our day cruiser yacht, a boat trip to Venice, or a day trip to national parks like Brioni or Plitvice and a visit to the Postojna caves are always a good idea. Villa Grimalda is a premium, tranquil home to a land of beauty, history and clean, unspoiled nature.
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
