For the first time this year, 2025., the “Your Host of the Year – LOCAL HOST” award was introduced by Croatian National Tourist Board and Ministry of Tourism and Sports, I am proud to share that I the owner of a holiday home "Villa Branko" was honored with the title of the Best Local Host in the Region of Istria.

Why they chose this property
The villa was built by my late father, Branko Grahovac, on the land of my mother Ruža Pustijanac-Grahovac. She was born in the nearby village of Peresiji. It's the first house in rural Istria which was categorized as a touristic resort in 1995. After his death in 2002, I named the house after him: Villa Branko. I started renting the house as tourist accommodation and have recently invested in renovating the house in 2021.
What makes this property unique
Amazing Villa Branko**** on an enclosed and private area of 7000 sq. m. with a private swimming pool, badminton court, table tennis, children's playhouse, and football field.
