Situated in the centre of a picturesque town called Bale, this modern villa is a stark contrast to its surrounding cobbled streets and old stone architecture. With serene outdoor seating areas, you can watch Istrian sunsets and enjoy countryside views far beyond your tidy garden. Inside every room, you will see the chic interior design and statement mood lighting, creating a calm and restful atmosphere. Although, we suspect you'll be spending most of your time around the private pool. Why not sample the local produce in this spotless kitchen and cook with Istrian olive oil – all while sipping a glass of Croatian wine? After exploring the stunning Soardo-Bembo Palace – and the crypt under the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary – cool off beneath your outdoor shower. If you visit Bale in August, open up these fitted wardrobes and get dressed up for the Last Minute Jazz Festival. At night, unwind in an olive green bedroom and read a book by lamplight.

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.
