💡 Tips

Bring a bicycle; the rolling hills of Central Istria are first-rate for scenic cycling tours.
Use the central location for day trips to Pazin or Tinjan, the regional capital of pršut.
Look for the traditional dry-stone huts known as 'kažun' in the fields around the village.
The small alleys are very quiet; please respect the privacy of the local residents.
Autumn is the best time to visit for wine harvests and the start of the truffle season.

Brečevići is located in the pretty hilly landscape of Central Istria, not far from the town of Pazin. This tiny village is a gem for lovers of original Istrian architecture. The houses are built almost entirely from local limestone and blend harmoniously into the surrounding nature of oak forests and vineyards. It is a place that features absolute seclusion, good for travelers looking to relax in a villa or holiday home far from mass tourism. The surroundings of Brečevići are a paradise for cyclists and hikers, with numerous paths leading through small villages and past historic chapels. In the nearby town of Pazin, you can visit the impressive Pazin Pit and the castle that served as inspiration for Jules Verne. Gastronomically, the region gives the best of Istria: truffles, homemade pasta (Fuži), and excellent wines such as the red Teran. Brečevići is the first-rate starting point to explore both the green heart of Istria and the coastal towns of Poreč or Rovinj, each about a 30-minute drive away.
