Welcome to Anabella — a lovingly kept apartment in the peaceful village of Valbandon, just 5 minutes from the charming harbour town of Fažana and the ferry to Brijuni National Park. Named after owner Ana and her dog companion Bella, this is a home with a heart. The spacious private terrace with BBQ is where holidays truly begin — morning coffee in the sun, lazy lunches under the shade, evening grilling as the sun goes down over the Istrian countryside. You are perfectly placed to explore the best of Istria: Brijuni Islands National Park (ferry from Fažana, 5 min away), Rovinj (45 min), Pula Arena (15 min), Cape Kamenjak Nature Park (35 min) and three beaches all within 2 km. Restaurant Vala and Alla Beccaccia — some of the highest-rated restaurants in the region — are a 10-minute walk away. A fully equipped kitchen, Nespresso machine, smart TV, washing machine and dishwasher mean everything is taken care of. Free parking for 2 cars. Dog-friendly. Quiet location. Warm welcome guaranteed.

Hi, I'm Ana, the owner of Anabella Apartment — and if you're wondering about the name, it's a combination of mine and my dog Bella's. Bella is a Coton de Tulear and has been my companion for years; she inspired not just the name but the whole spirit of this place — warm, welcoming and a little bit special. I created Anabella because I wanted guests to feel genuinely looked after, not just accommodated. The apartment has been furnished and equipped with real care — from the Nespresso machine, slow cooker and outdoor grill to to Kolja's warm welcome on arrival, when he will personally share his favourite local tips, beaches and restaurants with you. During your stay, you will be looked after by Kolja, our wonderful local property manager who lives nearby and is available whenever you need him. He speaks English and Croatian, knows the area inside out, and will be there to welcome you personally when you arrive. Istria is one of the most beautiful corners of Europe and Valbandon is the perfect quiet base to explore it. We hope Anabella feels like a home away from home. 🐾

Valbandon is a peaceful village just outside the charming fishing town of Fažana on the western coast of Istria. The area is ideal for those who want easy access to the best of the Istrian coast without the noise of a busy resort. Fazana's harbour — departure point for the Brijuni Islands National Park ferry — is a 5-minute drive. Valbandon Beach and Bi Village Beach are both within 2 km. The Konzum supermarket is close by, with the larger Plodine supermarket a short drive away. Pula, the regional capital with its magnificent Roman Arena, is 8 km away. Rovinj is 45 minutes, Porec one hour.
