Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away on the Istrian Peninsula, this home offers an authentic taste of rural Croatian living – but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on luxuries like a home cinema and gym. Designed by popular architect Boris Ružić to be stylish yet functional, it’s a great holiday home for those travelling with children. They’ll love the playroom and trampoline – not to mention the private pool. One of Croatia’s oldest cities, Pula, is a thirty-minute drive away, where you can explore its Roman ruins and scratch that itch for city excitement.
