With a balcony, swimming pool, and sun-kissed brick patio, this villa is ideal for those craving a spot of fresh air. It may not be by the beach, but the Istrian countryside is just as picturesque – plus Croatia's rocky coastline is only a twenty-minute walk through the rural landscape. Of course, the garden is a big favourite of ours, but the elegant interiors are also impressive. We think a family or group of friends will have more than enough room here to spread out and get comfortable. You'll also be well-positioned for day trips to Novigrad, Poreč and Pula, which are all less than an hour away.

Home truths
Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen. As the swimming pool isn’t fenced, children will need to be supervised at all times.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s off-road parking available here.
One of the en-suite bedrooms is on the ground floor. It’s ideal for guests who struggle with stairs.
If you’re travelling by plane, the nearest airport is Pula Airport. It’s about 65 kilometres away.
