THE APARTMENT The apartment was added to the family home in 2002 and overlooks the sea, a mere 5 metres from the water's edge. Owned by the great-granddaughter of the original home builder, the apartment is a clean and well-distributed space providing light, comfort, and an unparalleled view of the Adriatic Sea. It has a fully furnished kitchen with eating area, bathroom and two bedrooms. One has a queen sized be and the other two twin beds. The space can provide perfect comfort for up to four adults. It is on the 3rd floor, up 2 flights of stairs, with windows overlooking the sea on one side, and a patio terrace with grapevines on the other. The clean pebbled beaches are just a short walking distance away. Enjoy sipping wine while catching the soft breezes that blow from the sea, or sit out on the patio surrounded by grapevines and overlooking the quiet garden. The apartment was designed and built to provide you with all the comforts of home while away on a holiday.

THE HOUSE The house was lovingly built by Anton Kamalić in the 1800's, passed down through the generations but always in the same family. The old stone walls were crafted to house the family with all of the needs: Rooms to keep the nets for fishing, a warm kitchen and chimney for cooking, and a konoba (cellar) for storing the homemade wine, olive oil, and supplies for the harsh winter months. While the house has been updated to provide all modern conveniences, it retains its original character and charm. Today the old konoba still holds wine, and you can still see the large square nail hooks where equipment was hung from the sturdy wood beams. The home today is owned by the great-grand daughter, who lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She does not live in the house year round, but she and her family come to Valun each summer to enjoy the sea, the food, the history and the people.

Valun is a beautiful little fishing village nestled below the steep hillside and sheltered in the Bay of Valun. This little hamlet is secluded and quaint, surrounded by pebbled beaches. The narrow cove is rarely crowded with nothing blocking your view of the old stone town clinging to the hills. You most certainly will be charmed by Valun, and want to return again and again! While you never need to leave Valun or the Island of Cres to enjoy a complete vacation, you can venture out and enjoy wonderful day trips to other neighbouring islands of Krk, Lošinj, Rab or Pag or venture out to see Pula and its coliseum, Brijuni or Plitvice National Park along with other destinations in Istria and the Bay of Kvarner. Alternatively, hire a boat at the marina and spend the day exploring the small coves, the beaches and the bays on the Island of Cres.
