Jakomići is situated in the photogenic hilly landscape of Central Istria, not far from the medieval town of Pićan. The village is a well-suited retreat for travelers wishing to discover 'Green Istria.' The surroundings consist of dense forests where famous Istrian truffles can be found, and small vineyards producing local varieties like Malvazija and Teran. The peace of the village is only interrupted by church bells or birdsong. For active travelers, the region provides excellent opportunities for hiking and mountain biking on marked trails leading through untouched nature. From the higher points of the village, there are fantastic views of the Učka mountain range and the gentle valleys of Istria. Culinarially, nearby konobas pamper guests with homemade pasta, game dishes, and specialties cooked under the 'peka.' Jakomići preserves the spirit of old Istria and features an atmosphere of slowing down that has become rare today. The hospitable residents are happy to share their stories and homemade products with visitors.
