Our Paradise Garden:
Then there is our big, well tended and in the summer daily watered Mediterranean garden for your convenience, containing rosemary hedges, a lemon tree right in front of the door (at this very moment, in the winter of 2005/2006 there are more then 100 lemons hanging down from the lemon tree, round, yellow and scented!), 2 lavender trees; over 20 oleander bushes, in all shades of pink, each 2-4 m high, 12 of them over 35 years old; a couple of square metres of broad opuntia bush, over 25 years old, spread with yellow flowers all through the spring and summer; a strawberry tree, a pomegranate tree, sage, bougainvillea, several mature agave-plants, Yucca, the South-African aloe, various summer flowers which got really old, because there has been no severe frost for years etc. Around our house a lot of birds are living and singing in the big old pine trees, mostly very small and colourful ones, but also blue jays cannot be overheard, nor blackbirds.
Our house is a great place for...:
Our house with its two separate apartments is a great place for two families travelling together. Nevertheless, many couples appreciating quiet, well kept accommodation where they can feel at home spend their holidays with us, especially in spring and autumn, when the sun is warm, the air clear, the colours of nature even more intensive than in midsummer and the island so quiet and peaceful - and the rents the lowest. In May you will find yourself driving for miles through the blue fields of flourishing wild sage, only spotted with yellow marks of the Spanish broom in full bloom with its heavyly honeylike scented flowers. When you go hiking or mountaineering around the island in spring, you may also find yourself walking over carpets of wild, Common Cyclamen of beguiling scent. For all our guests we provide a free and big range of personalized information in advance, which you can hardly get elsewhere, so that you have time to study and prepare your stay on our green and sunny island.
Getting here:
Getting there from Great Britain and Ireland: You can fly from several British airports by several companies to the airports of Pula or Rijeka - Krk which are both close to us. Fly Saturdays with Astraeus from May 6 till Oct 14 from London Gatwick and Manchester to Pula for 139 £, rent a car and catch a ferry to Mali Losinj from Brestova near Pula. Or fly Thomson from Heathrow to Rijeka - Krk from April 5 till Oct 14. Flight duration: 2.15 hours. We`ll be glad to provide you with all the timetables and booking information in Britain. A very good alternative, often used by experienced Croatia-travellers is flying Ryanair to Venice/ Treviso or Trieste in northern Italy and renting a car there. We are only a couple of hours away from these airports and will be delighted to support you with all details and maps of how to get to Losinj from there – it is quite easy.
