Guesthouse Green Istria — Hotel in Upravna enota Koper / Unità amministrativa Capodistria

Hiske - as we learned it from Mateja - means cottages. It was named by the wooden houses in the huge garden, built, and furnished in the traditional Istrian way. You can stay there, close to the nature, or in the more conventional (but beautiful) rooms of the central building.||||There is something about Hiske, one cannot explain. We keep returning for nearly 20 years (sorry, Mateja is not happy to hear about time), so we witnessed the hard work how this place become the beauty of today. We bring friends eventually, and they are always the same impressed. I've no idea, how the magic works. If it does not touch you in the first moment, just you wait. In a few hours this enchanted place will seduce you. And one quiet morning you shall realize, you never want to leave anymore.||||Closest places to go:||||Koper is about 15 minutes drive among green and pleasant woodlands and meadows. (You need some practice to drive on those narrow roads, if you don't like tight pass byes, better go by bus, or better even bike).||||The best place to bath is Isola, about 20 minutes driving away. For the beach, don't go in town, just keep driving on the motorway over the tunnel (Portoroze), and when you see Hotel Belvedere, drive downhill behind it. Parking is right at the shore, 1EUR per hour. You will swim only some stairs away from your car. ||||Piran is about 34-40 minutes. Not enough characters here to say anything worthy about this spectacular town.||||Skocjan Jama, or Predjama Castle are less than the hour driving.||||As a thumb rule, if any information you need, don't waste your time on google, ask Mateja. In fact, Hiske is Mateja. She is always there, invisibly, only appearing when you need her. She will tell you anything, as what to see, where to eat, where to fix the car. And it...

Very negative experience for us for 3 days of travel. We are very disappointed because it was very expensive for what it was. It is a shame to rent that at this price : Very basic EQUIPMENT in the cabins (hiske), apart from the fact that there is no water and electricity: no towels, no dustbins, no soaps, very uncomfortable pillows,... Even if they are small, they have though a certain charm.

SHARED BATHROOM (toilet+shower) 1 woman and 1 man: horrible smell (especially in the women's), often with a small queue. From the cabin, you have to walk to it, so avoid it if you have to go to the toilet often at night (but it is ok if you are used of camping).

Lovely SETTING with sunbeds and steam room. Unfortunately, the grill of the bbq was unusable as it was charred. Unless you want cancer... The accommodation is a 10 minute drive from the nearest village. There is a car park. The terrace is communal with a good wifi.

In conclusion, that was too expensive compared to the comfort so I don't recommand and I think you can find something better...

My husband and I booked a 1 night stay in one of the tiny houses for our very first day in Slovenia. We ended up having issues with our data connection so arrived later than planned, just before 8pm, which was later than their normal dinner hours but the hosts were very understanding and accommodating. Tilen recommended us a room instead of a tiny house because of the cold temperature. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended for another night.

The food both at dinner and breakfast was amazing. The inclusion of the local experiences with breakfast was also a great feature. We used the coupons for the wine tasting and Koper tower, both of which we really enjoyed.

The property is stunning and the accommodations are very comfortable and clean. We truly loved our stay and could not have felt more welcomed by the hosts. We learned a lot about Istria and got lots of great tips of places to visit and things to see. Absolutely recommend this as a place to stay while exploring...
