Solar energy, water reservoirs, renovated furniture and bio-pool. These are the ingredients of ISTRA AUTENTICA. an eco-friendly accommodation deep in a hectare of nature. Restored by Bojan, his owner, to be fully eco-sustainable, zero waste and off-grid. Then add the wonders of Istria, its ancient villages and the amazing Slovenian nature… and your green holiday is ready. See how Bojan describes his paradise.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Completely renovate an old house<\/strong>, make it self-sufficient and sustainable, by your own? Yes, you can! This is what Bojan<\/strong> Vogrin\u010di\u010d<\/strong> did in his property, in the heart of Istria<\/strong>. A region in the middle between two countries (Slovenia and Croatia), rich in cities and villages to visit, as in untouched nature.<\/p>\n

Exploring it is easy, starting from Istra Autentica<\/em>, the Ecobnb we’re here presenting.<\/p>\n

Bojan told us about his experience. It proves how you don’t need specific competences nor compromises to make a house – or guest accommodation – cozy to live in and totally off-grid<\/strong><\/a> remaining also in harmony with nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bojan and Istra Autentica, ph. by Britt Voorsmit<\/div><\/div>\n

How was Istra Autentica born?<\/h3>\n

Five years ago, I found myself on this land of 10 thousand square meters, with an almost ruined old house. There weren’t electricity nor water. I could have split it, but it would have required a lot of paperwork. So I thought that I could become completely independent and self-sufficient<\/strong>, but without polluting<\/strong> the environment. Now technology allows it. I installed a photo-voltaic plant on the roof, dug two rainwater reservoirs into the earth, and that’s it. I must not forget about my “bio pool<\/strong><\/a>“, which I myself made last year. The basement consists of a swimsuit and a plant-cleaning part in which a plant purifies water. Thanks to this system there’s no need of chlorine. The only thing that helps us is a low-energy pump (100 W) for water circulation.<\/p>\n
