Bjorn & Tessa

We’re Bjorn and Tessa, originally from the Netherlands. After more than 17 years together, countless holidays in Croatia and getting married on the island of Hvar, we decided it was time for a new adventure. Together with our two dogs, Greetje and Teuntje, we made the move to Istria.

How It All Started

Our love for Croatia began in 2017, during our first visit. What started as a holiday destination gradually became a place we kept returning to. We explored different regions, discovered our favourite spots and grew increasingly fond of the Mediterranean way of life. In 2022, we even chose Croatia as the place to get married, on the beautiful island of Hvar.

From an Istrian Stancija to Stancija Pomaria

When we came across a traditional stancija in Pomer, we immediately saw its potential. With its olive trees, fruit trees and spacious Mediterranean garden, it was exactly the kind of place we had been looking for.

We’re now bringing the property back to life, creating five comfortable boutique apartments while preserving its Istrian character.

We want Stancija Pomaria to be a place where guests can enjoy the surroundings, take things at their own pace and experience the part of Croatia we’ve come to love so much.

We look forward to welcoming you!
