Striking, serene, sumptuous – there aren't enough words to describe how much we love this stunning villa in northern Croatia. A large exterior clock welcomes you, while the interior screams sophistication – picture plush linens on the double beds, cushy sofas for snuggling after a long day and en-suite bathrooms decked out with lavish showers and an oversized bathtub. We love the open-plan layout, too – while home cooks rustle up dinner in the chrome-plated kitchen, others can share a bottle of wine around the dining table or lounge on the sofa. Step through the French doors into the beautiful garden and bask underneath clear blue skies. Idle away the afternoon swimming in the crystal clear pool, lounging with a cocktail under the shady umbrella and digging into fresh-grilled seafood on the terrace come dinnertime. As the sun begins to set, head upstairs to the sublime roof terrace and watch the night roll in, feeling completely relaxed. A twenty-minute walk away is Istria's dazzling coastline, so don your comfiest shoes and set off on foot. If it's the beach you crave, Lanterna is a half-hour walk. When your feet need a break, hop on one of the bikes and cycle to... the local restaurants or marina, or visit the bars, shops and historic sites in Poreč, seventeen minutes by car.

About Istria
Croatia’s northern peninsula, jutting out into the cool blue of the Adriatic Sea, has been a traveller favourite for decades. The region’s capital, Pula, is home to an ancient Roman amphitheatre, as well as family-run restaurants serving rustic fare from the hillside farmsteads around Istria and delicious local wines from the region’s vineyards. The coast is dotted with swimming platforms and rocky outcrops to stretch out on after a dip...

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.
