The things guests ask us most, answered plainly, from what is included to when to book.
A private chef, Paola, cooks breakfast every morning and prepares lunch and dinner shaped with you. A private concierge, dedicated butler style service and daily housekeeping are part of the stay, included in the rate. The household is here throughout, so you arrange nothing and manage nothing yourself.
Before you arrive we speak with you, often on a call, to understand who is coming and how you like to live. Some weeks ahead we ask about your preferences, and you share only what you wish. By the first morning the chef and the household already know your rhythm, from how you take your coffee to the wine you prefer.
Yes. A private chef is here for the whole stay and cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is included every day, cooked fresh each morning. Lunch and dinner are shaped with you, around what you feel like and what the garden and the season have given, so you never plan a meal unless you wish to.
Yes. LaMaison is for exclusive private use. One master suite and three guest suites, for up to eight guests, with no other guests and no shared spaces. For the length of your stay, the whole of LaMaison is yours alone.
LaMaison sits above the medieval village of Sveti Petar u Šumi, in inland Istria, Croatia. Rovinj and the coast are 30 minutes away, Pula airport 40 minutes, and the truffle forests of Motovun 40 minutes to the north.
The rate includes exclusive use of the residence and 2,500 square metres of private grounds, the salty infinity pool heated year round, your private chef with breakfast every day, a private concierge, butler style service and daily housekeeping. Activities, transfers and special dining requests are arranged for you and charged at cost.
Guests usually reserve six to eight months ahead, often through a travel advisor or by referral. Each season reads differently, spring and autumn are quiet and green, summer belongs to the pool, and October and November bring the white truffle. Speak with us early for the dates you have in mind.
There are no right answers, and everything is optional. Write a line about the week you have in mind, and we will reply personally, usually within 8 hours.
