About us
Where countryside elegance feels like home
LaMaison is an elegant countryside retreat created for guests who appreciate privacy, authenticity, and understated luxury. Shaped by hosts with a deep personal connection to Istria, the villa is more than a place to stay—it is an invitation to slow down, unwind, and truly feel at home.
A daily bed-and-breakfast service and full housekeeping are seamlessly included, allowing every moment to unfold with ease and comfort. Beyond the villa, the hosts act as discreet concierges, thoughtfully supporting each guest in crafting a meaningful stay. Through personalised recommendations and genuine local insight, they help uncover the very best of LaMaison and the wider Istrian region.
