To create a peaceful green oasis in the heart of Istria, where every guest is genuinely welcome and where the pace of life naturally slows down.
In a small Istrian place called Bale, surrounded by pine and olive trees, we turned a modest idea into a holiday home with nice apartments and rooms.
IstraSoley is a place where you wake up to crickets and end the day under the stars.
IstraSoley was created out of love for Istria and the desire to offer travelers a peaceful, authentic and comfortable stay – just like at home, but with an additional touch of Mediterranean charm. IstraSoley is a place where comfort meets nature, a spacious yard full of greenery, the smell of rosemary and olives, and the corners for rest make the perfect backdrop for your vacation.
The rooms and apartments of IstraSoley combine the warmth of home and smart functionality: comfortable mattresses, air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, private terraces or balconies, as well as thoughtful details that ensure that the stay is easy from the first to the last day. Whether choosing a romantic room for two or a comfortable apartment for family and friends, comfort and cleanliness are standard, and the peace of the yard remains within reach.
The heart of the yard has become our covered summer kitchen: barbecue, several tables and enough space for laughter, conversations and quiet dinners after trips around Istria or sea moments on the beach. There guests made acquaintances, exchanged recommendations for beaches, wineries and small taverns, and every story contributed to the spirit of IstraSoley. On the way to the summer kitchen, your attention will be drawn to the swimming pool with deckchairs and umbrellas, nestled among the greenery – for early morning refreshments, afternoon lazing around or watching the sunset with a book and a glass of good Istrian wine.
We believe in genuine hospitality. Personal approach, clear communication and quick help with everything, from recommendations for wineries, sights to restaurant reservations. Our goal is simple: to make your stay stress-free and make your memories long and bright.From short city breaks to long vacations, IstraSoley is a safe choice for couples, families and friends looking for a combination of comfort, local spirit and reliable service.
We are most pleased with the return of guests and their words that they have found “their own corner of Istria” here — that the swimming pool is a pleasant hideaway, and the summer kitchen is an open-air living room. This confirms to us that the idea succeeded: IstraSoley is not just accommodation, but the experience of staying in a green oasis that carefully preserves the time for rest.
This trust leads us to keep even more carefully every season what is most valuable: an authentic, quiet and sincere stay experience.
IstraSoley is located in Bale, a charming Istrian town that proudly bears the international Cittaslow label – a symbol of a relaxed, high‑quality and authentic way of life.
