This stylish home can be found in the pretty medieval town of Bale, in a leafy spot that makes it feel like something of an oasis. The villa is effortlessly chic, with every amenity you could wish for – even the most discerning travellers in your group will fall in love with this home. Outside, a spacious courtyard looks over the garden, and trees line the property. There are two outdoor pools to choose from – if you’re travelling with children this might be the perfect way to allow them to cannonball and splash around, while you enjoy a relaxing dip. There’s a covered dining table and a summer kitchen with a barbecue, just crying out for evenings spent under the stars, dining and drinking until late. There are two units here, so you have two kitchens and living rooms – there’s plenty of space, ideal if you’re travelling with another family. The living and dining spaces lead directly out to the terrace, so when you open the sliding doors there’s a fabulous open feel. Downstairs, you can take your holiday relaxation to the next level. There’s an indoor pool with a sauna, just off the games room. The villa... has the luxuries of a hotel with the comfort of a home-from-home – you’ll never want to leave. Bale is an attractive town, rich with history. It’s only a six-minute walk away, so why not head there mid-morning to stroll along the narrow cobbled streets and grab a coffee from a cafe? The beach is eleven minutes away by car, and beautiful Rovinj is an eighteen-minute drive. With so much to see and do, this villa already ticks so many boxes. Add in the style and substance of the home itself, and you’ll see why this is such a great choice.
