Discover Staniši: hotels, cycling route and wine

Staniši can be placed in the context of your trip through two specific points of reference: Villa Staniši is on the edge of the village, and the Vižinada cycling route (101) passes through it. Other cycling routes, wine-related experiences and events are part of the wider destination of Općina Vižinada. This lets you distinguish the specific type of accommodation from regional excursions and cultural themes.

Accommodation in Staniši

Villa Staniši is an authentically restored holiday home for up to seven people. It features a private pool, terraces and a garden. The house is on the edge of Staniši; Vižinada is 3 kilometres away. The coast and Poreč are each 15 kilometres away. The type of accommodation is important when searching: the villa is a holiday home, not a hotel. Capacity and amenities may change, so check these details again before booking.

The Vižinada cycling route (101) through Staniši

The Vižinada cycling route (101) is 24 kilometres long and connects with several other routes. After crossing the main road in Lašići, it passes through Staniši and continues towards the main road leading to Ferenci. Near Ferenci, the route connects Staniši with the former narrow-gauge railway line of the Parenzana, before continuing towards Vižinada. This gives both the total length and several specific sections of the route.
