Surrounded by the sun, sea and beautiful trees – this showstopping villa overlooks one of the most beautiful protected landscapes in Istria. Here the breathtaking fusion of the blue sea and luscious greenery are just as enchanting as the ultra-luxurious villa itself. And with the town centre of Vrsar only 2 kilometres away, you'll find more inspiring natural delights along with quality shops, bars and restaurants within easy reach. The villa's exterior offers a haven of tranquillity and a wealth of amenities to lap it all up over. From the sun-kissed terraces to the glistening swimming pool, outdoor shower and alfresco kitchen and dining area – you'll want to spend warm afternoons and balmy evenings out here at every opportunity. Relax here after mornings spent browsing the boutiques of Vrsar or following long days on the beach – the sunset scenes viewed from the terrace will leave you awe-inspired and ready for another day in paradise. The interior is just as spectacular as the glimmering modern furnishings and offers a serene stay centred around comfort. Start your days the right way at the gym, spa and indoor pool here – you'll also find a sauna, perfect for relaxing after days...
