Stone country House Irena with pool on a large property
Estate Irena consists of two traditional Dalmatian stone houses, set on a large, fully fenced property that offers guests peace, privacy, and an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere. The interior features stone and wood elements, carefully combined to preserve the spirit of Dalmatia and create a warm, genuine space for relaxation.
The houses have a total living area of 90 mÂČ and include two bedrooms, a living room, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and two bathrooms. They are ideal for a relaxing stay in the natural surroundings of the Dalmatian hinterland, far from crowds and everyday hustle.
Guests can enjoy a spacious 1,600 mÂČ estate with a variety of amenities: a seasonal swimming pool of 32 mÂČ, sun loungers, a childrenâs playground, and a large barbecue area with outdoor seating. The property is surrounded by traditional Dalmatian dry-stone walls, olive trees, and an organic garden, all exclusively available to guests.
A special charm of the stay is the hospitality of the hosts, who are happy to treat guests with homemade fruit, fresh eggs, and vegetables from their own garden.
The surrounding area offers many unique experiences: visit ancient Asseria, the remains of a Roman city, discover the KliÄevica waterfalls, walk along the themed BruĆĄkaâMedviÄa road, or experience the authentic atmosphere of the Benkovac market. Here, tradition and nature come together through local cuisine, dance, and music.
Discover a different side of Dalmatia and enjoy a holiday in harmony with nature and tradition.

Irena offers this quiet place 50 minutes away from zadar. As a welcome gift Irena provided a fully stacked cheese and prosciutto plate with baguette. We really enjoyed the our time here with mostly animals around us. The appartements (two bungalows, both with an own bathroom) and the kitchen were by far the best equipped places we have ever visited. Sharp knives, enough plates, bowls - you Name it - All was available.
We even got to know her donkeys đ this spacious place is good if you want to enjoy your time away from big cities but still be able to visit everything in the Zadar Region.

Lovely houses with great pool in rural area half hour drive from the coast
Great location for anyone who seeks a beautiful and calm environment. Mario and Irena, the hosts, live right next door and help with anything you need. They are also lovely people to chat with. We spent several days in the houses, that is: The pool and the barbecue area outside. There is also a small kitchen in one of the houses. As the two bedrooms are one in each house and each has a full modern bathroom, there is a lot of privacy for two couples or a couple with kids. The coast (Biograd) is about a 30 min drive, Zadar about 40, and local shopping 10 min (Benkovac)

Special place!
Een heel mooie omgeving met een super gezellige woning. Alles is aanwezig om een super toffe vakantie te maken. Wij genoten met onze drie kids enorm van het zwembad en de gezellige avond op het terras. De rust in het dorp leven is gewoon zalig. Zelfs vers geplukte vijgen gekregen die enorm lekker waren... een heel leuke vakantie gehad in een pure Kroatische omgeving.
We liked the remote location very much, and that it is in the hills, so that you donât have so much heat because of the altitude of ca 400-500m.
You are in the middle between the Sea and the National Parks.
This Place is perfect if like to be alone and/or have a dog with u.
The Pool was very clean and big enough to swim.
A great atmosphere and very amazing hosts. an ideal place to relax away from all tourists. It is completely self-contained and yet very central to all National Parks and cities.
