Casa Cocola
This beautiful ancient stone house, which we now call Casa Cocola, is located in Čohilji which is a part of a small settlement called Previž (a group of 12 small hamlets located on the hills between the Lipa and Borutski streams). It is believed that the area was inhabited in prehistoric and Roman times, as well as in the early Middle Ages. It was only in the 13th century that it was mentioned in church records and later, in 1528, in state documents. It was owned by the Patriarchate of Aquileia, and in the 14th century became a part of the Principality of Pazin. The settlement suffered on several occasions in wars between the Venetians and the Habsburgs and the population was decreasing. In the 16th century, and probably before, there was a strong Glagolitic tradition (inscription of priest Ivan Bubić engraved on a late Gothic silver gilded chalice, in 1588), and Previž was the chaplaincy of the Diocese of Pićan until its abolition. The chaplain was chosen by the locals themselves and supported by tithes. The situation in the settlement improved with the construction of the road from Pazin to Učka at the beginning of the 16th century, especially when the railroad was built half a century later.
The "Casa Cocola" includes two separate apartments, Gioia and Rosa and rooms Emilia. Gioia and Rosa have their living room and kitchen/dining on the main floor, and bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the first floor. Rooms Emilia are located in the adjacent building. In front of the house is a lounge area and separate entrances for every apartment and in the back, there is a pool and a spacious covered patio with an oversized table seating 14+ people.
