The story of an Istrian rural house

Tonina House in Sv. Peter is an authentic Istrian farmhouse that takes visitors into everyday life in the countryside in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The stone house, with its preserved living spaces, kužina — kitchen — and traditional furniture, reveals how Istrian farmers once lived and how closely their lives were connected with nature and the seasons.

Olive growing and the heritage of Istria

A special feature of Tonina House is the preserved olive mill on the ground floor, where you can learn about the traditional process of olive oil production.
