About the host

Hosted by Marina Visnjic

Host profile image
Hello, we are Marina & Željko. We are a married couple in retirement and together with the help of our daughter Cristina are renting Casa Stella. We like to meet and greet new people, so if you need any information dont hesitate to contact us.

Why they chose this property

Draguc is Marina´s grandmother hometown and Casa Stella has been in our family for almost a 100 years. Two years ago we were looking at our old house and decided to renovate it completely. We wanted to preserve the original Istrian appearance of the house and we tried to breathe new life into old furniture and combine traditional and modern.
