In 2010 this 250 year old enchanting stone villa "Gelci", was lovingly restored. The Villa has many lovingly well-preserved and delicately exposed details of the original country house which have been combined with a modern country home, creating a truly unique style. The Villa "Gelci" is an extraordinary example of a careful and deliberate renovation. The interior of the house was gutted, but the 250-year-old floor tiles and the original oak beams have been carefully preserved. The old rough stone masonry blends in with smoothly trowelled walls painted in delicate colours; the new country doors fit nicely to the old style of the house. The invitingly large farmer's kitchen with modern white built-in cabinets with stone worktop works nicely with its exposed wooden ceiling beams and painted earth tone walls. The modernity can be recognised only by the inconspicuous integrated electrical appliances such as dishwasher, washing machine, stove, microwave and much more. The kitchen with its cosy dining area offers a cheerful place for cooking.

 The living room with the comfortable sofas in a floral style promises cosy evenings by the fireplace, or in front of the TV. The upstairs bedrooms are in the truest sense of the word beautiful. Here you can spend nights in a four-poster bed dreaming of the sea that we can hear outside. The bathrooms are modern, with a combination of ceramic, wood and tiles and the underfloor heating. There is a walk-in shower and a bathtub with jacuzzi function. From the bedrooms there are great views: either of the hills of eastern Istria, the sea or the beautifully landscaped garden.

The attractive natural garden surrounds the house and the pool area. The garden is full of fruit trees, beautiful flowers and herbs. Numerous decorative objects from ancient times are stylishly and skilfully placed around the garden. The terrace which is connected to the house is covered by a canopy. There is an attractive green dining table which can be used as an alternative to the indoor dining area. With the outside barbecue and kitchen you can simply move dinner outside. Under the loose canopy, you can enjoy the evenings with views overlooking the amazing landscape, while taking in the refreshing smell of the sea breeze with a glass of good Istrian red wine.

 At the foot of the natural stone paved terrace is the 1.60 meter deep pool with surrounding wooden decked terrace. Here are numerous chairs to relax. There is also an outside shower and separate toilet and if a dip in the pool is not enough, the beach is just 900 meters away. In the fishing village of Trget you will discover good fish restaurants with delicious cuisine, where the catch of the day is often found on the evening menu.
 Trips in the area require you to drive 15 or 20 minute to Labin and Rabac, also known as the "Pearl of the Kvarner Bay", Rabac offers a varied program for visitors with numerous water activities such as boat rental, deep-sea fishing, or even chartering a luxury yacht. There are hiking as well as walking trails around the Učka and the Skitaci, from where you have a great view of the Kvarner bay. After closing the mines, the old mining town of Labin has become a meeting place of the younger generation with its many bars, galleries and studios, and offers numerous entertainment options.
 This region offers versatility in tradition and modernity - the prestigious Villa "Gelci" with its perfect symbiosis between modernity and tradition, history and comfort fits perfectly into the eastern Istrian coastal landscape.
