We are the Kodarin family – Marina, Marko, Tilen, Urška – a family that left the city for a life close to nature. Since the 1980s, we’ve been living on this land and nurturing a deep connection with our animals, the land, and Istrian traditions. Marko is in charge of the riding school and organizes trail rides through the stunning landscape. Marina is a certified tourist guide who delights in sharing the culture, cuisine, and hidden gems of the region. She also prepares traditional dishes passed down from great-grandmother. Our children, Tilen and Urška, will happily show you around the farm, introduce the animals, and make you feel right at home. We believe in slow living, nature, and heartfelt hospitality. That’s why we’ve chosen a tech-free environment – no screens, just real human connection and the soothing rhythm of country life. We can’t wait to welcome you and share our little slice of Istrian paradise.

Welcome to Farm Medljan, a hidden countryside gem in the heart of Slovenian Istria – just 4 km from Izola, Piran, and Portorož. If you’re longing for peace, nature, and authenticity, this is the perfect escape. Our farm offers a unique agritourism experience with a soul rooted in Istrian tradition. You’ll stay in one of two charming apartments within a 200-year-old stone house, lovingly furnished with restored vintage furniture that evokes the spirit of the past. There’s no Wi-Fi or television here – just the serenity of nature, birdsong, and starry skies. The farm is home to many animals: horses, goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. Guests are welcome to interact with them, and children especially love learning how to help with feeding and care. For experienced riders, trail rides through the scenic Istrian hills are available by prior arrangement. Every morning, you’ll enjoy a rich homemade breakfast prepared with local ingredients – something our guests frequently praise. We’re happy to offer insider tips on nearby wineries, local eateries, and natural landmarks. Whether you’re a couple, a family, or a nature lover looking for a digital detox, Farm Medljan offers more than just a place to sleep – it’s a full immersion into authentic rural life. Come experience Istria the way locals do – slow, genuine, and unforgettable.
