Bolara 60 is a traditional stone house (about 250 years old and now beautifully restored) near the medieval hilltop town of Grožnjan. We have two options for staying here: the kućica is a self-contained, fully furnished house with its own kitchen and terrace (open all year round); next door is our guesthouse (the kuća) with bedrooms available on a bed & breakfast basis (open April-October). Our next-door neighbours have a farm where they make olive oil and wine, but otherwise there are no houses around. It's very green and peaceful here, with views into the forest and Mirna valley, and deer, birds and butterflies all around.

About the Area
The house is in a two-house hamlet (it's just us and our farming neighbours). The neighbours make fantastic olive oil which we highly recommend buying and using! It's a short drive or a scenic walk to Grožnjan (with its famous summer jazz festival), and close to Motovun.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
