Behind massive entrance doors we enter a vestibule on the ground floor, which consists of an open‑space living area that includes the lounge, kitchen and dining room. The lounge is adorned with a high ceiling that contributes to airiness and exceptionally good natural light, and a beautiful Palazzetti fireplace that adds ambience and, when needed, heats in the winter months. From the lounge, through a massive aluminum glass wall, one steps onto a spacious covered terrace offering a view of the neatly arranged garden. On the ground floor there is also a guest bedroom with its own bathroom, a pantry and a toilet. Also here is one of the property's special features – a spacious 30m2 garage with Hörmann garage doors, connected to the ground‑floor vestibule so that one can enter the house directly from the vehicle. On the first floor, reached by stairs from the ground floor, there are three bedrooms each with its own bathroom.

Kras is the highest settlement on the island of Krk, situated 266 metres above sea level. Very close is also the highest peak of this part of the island, St. George, 311 m. It is first mentioned in 1230 in an old Glagolitic charter. Toponymist and Romance scholar Petar Skok derives the name Kras from a pre‑Latin, possibly Illyrian word “carsus”, from which the Croatian word kras, krš developed.
