Wonderful Experience in Istria

Our group of three couples had a wonderful stay at Casa Leccino. The Istrian peninsula of Croatia is a below-the-radar gem with beautiful scenery, hilltop villages, coastal towns, and vineyards, all within an hour drive of the villa. For what initially appeared to be a quaint village, Brtonigla surprised by offering numerous high quality restaurants, and the food, drink, and service far exceeded expectations. For wine drinkers it is helpful to familiarize yourself with Croatian wines (Malvasia, Grk, Posip, Plavac mali, etc.) prior to the trip; I watched a video and created a 'cheat sheet' which was very helpful when presented with the wine list. Our host Sandi was anxious to please and his dining recommendations were much appreciated; we were fortunate to meet him and his wife in person on our day of departure. Our early July week was quite warm and we appreciated the A/C and used the pool every day. Thanks for hosting us, we have great memories. ”

Lovely home in great location

Casa Leccino is a well appointed, very clean home in a small, delightful hill town with restaurants within walking distance. We used the location as a base to explore the Istrian peninsula of Croatia and southern Slovenia. Sandi was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. ”

Villa Casa Leccino

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Leccino. The house is brand new and immaculate, with beautiful appliances, furniture, linens and bedding. The swimming pool was our favorite spot and the outdoor barbecue and cook top stove were wonderful. There is a short walk into town to a couple of very good restaurants, which the quaint little town called Brtonigla, is known for. I highly recommend staying at this house. It's a great place to hangout for a week and take day trips to all the other beautiful hill towns in Istria Croatia.”

Great house and great host

we really enjoyed our time at Casa Lecchino. The home is located walking distance to a charming town where there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and a place to rent bikes. Our host was exceptional. He made several recommendations for daytrips and was responsive to any/all questions we had about the house and northern Croatia and Slovenia in general. The only thing about the location is that other than the small village you need to drive to all other locations of interest. would definitely recommend the place and would return.”
