You'll find this villa in the heart of Istria, just 2 kilometres from Novigrad. Whether you fancy days by the beach or afternoons exploring Old Town, there's something for everyone here. When you want to take it easy, there's plenty to keep you entertained back home, too. You'll make a beeline for the private swimming pool, which can be heated for a fee. There's also a sun-kissed roof terrace boasting a hot tub, sauna cabin, and countryside views. Inside, comfortable bedrooms all have access to terraces and en-suite shower rooms. Factor in the bright living space and we think it's the perfect pad for a family holiday.

Home truths

    This home is spread across two floors and doesn't have a lift. Access to the roof terrace with the hot tub and sauna is via an outdoor spiral staircase.

    The bedroom curtains here may not fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

    Public transportation is limited in Istria, so we suggest hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking available here.

    If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
