Mediterranean tranquillity with pool & garden - perfect for families

This villa with private pool is located in a small, quiet village of Poropati, only five kilometers from the famous medieval town of Grožnjan, which is famed for its steep stone-paved streets and stone houses, artists, summer jazz festivals and exhibitions is.

As soon as you enter this villa you will notice the great attention to detail. The stylish interior, with spacious living and sleeping areas, and a beautiful garden are a metaphor for comfort and luxury.

The villa is far enough from the bustle and stress of everyday life, but close enough to the attractive Istrian tourist destinations, if you are in the mood to meet people, to amuse themselves or to enjoy a dinner in a good restaurant. The area is rich in natural beauty and numerous sights. Only 15 minutes by car from the beautiful Adriatic Sea, and an hour's drive from the famous old town of Pula, the wild cape Kamenjak, the beautiful city of Rovinj, where you can either walk in the footsteps of history or enjoy the nightlife. Do not forget the numerous wineries and restaurants nearby. Beautiful places are waiting for you.
In the large garden of the villa you can enjoy privacy and intimacy, this garden is also suitable for celebrating with family and friends: a pool or barbecue party or just relax with good music in a lounge and on a garden swing, with a glass of cool wine and Istrian treats under the stars.
The house offers you a wine fridge with excellent wine, quality olive oil and, optionally, a fridge filled with local food and drink. We can also order a chef to spoil you with delicious food, or invite you to a romantic picnic on the vineyard in the shade of the old trees, where you can be your own chef. But if you prefer beer, our beer sommelier can present an interesting presentation about the world of beer.
The gallery wall in the villa offers pure artistic pleasure. But if you prefer a more active holiday, there are also bicycles available for a pleasant bike ride to the nearby archaeological sites, medieval towns or to the many farms and wineries along the way.

From early morning until evening, the terrace is sunny. The umbrellas by the pool offer enough protection from direct sunlight.
The panoramic doors on the ground floor open to a covered terrace, where you will probably spend most of the day in the shade. This will be your chill-out area. A large dining table, a rocking chair and comfortable stylish garden furniture.
You will find even more shade under the old chestnut tree, where you can relax with a book and a cold drink. You can also try your hand at traditional bowling (called "boćanje" in Croatia).

A calm and relaxing holiday in charming surroundings

We had a lovely and relaxing stay in this Beautiful Isterian Villa. The calm surroundings and the beautifully furnished villa made time stand still for a little while. We enjoyed exploring the historic towns Groznjan and Motovun in particular and not forgetting the a few dips in the mild mediterranean sea. All together a lovely holiday.

Kommunikation mit den Vermieter lief Reibungslos man hatte sich mit whats up in English ausgetauscht . Antworten kamen immer schnell und sehr freundlich . Das Haus war so wie in der Beschreibung ein sehr schönes Haus mit großem Pool .Für uns war die Lage nicht gut etwas zu abgelegen vom Meer aber dies steht auch in der Beschreibung sonst ein Mega Haus sehr ruhig .

Es war alles super gelungen! Wir waren mit Hund dort, sodass es für uns wichtig war, dass das Grundstück volständig eingezäunt ist.

Wunderschönes in abgelegener ruhiger Lage

Zusammen mit 4 Freunden haben wir eine Woche in dieser wunderschönen Villa verbracht. Absolutes Highlight ist der Aussenbereich - mit großem Pool, riesigen Garten und einer großen überdachten Terrasse. Die Hälfte der Zeit des Aufenthalts haben wir im Haus verbracht - aufgrund der Größe und auch der Vielfalt an bereits verfügbaren Sportsachen (Bälle, Fußballtore, Tennis und Federballschläger) war uns nie langweilig. Die winzigen Mängel haben uns beim Aufenthalt nicht gestört. (kein Richtiger Ball beim tischkicker, Grill draußen hatte kein Gas mehr - wurde aber nachgefüllt, die Sonnenschirme sind Klump aber dank Großer beschatteten Terrasse kein Problem). Wirklich traumhafter Urlaub hier und jedem zu empfehlen der nicht jeden Tag am Strand fahren will und auch gerne im Haus/Pool chillt.

Traumhafter Urlaub in wunderschöner Villa

Ein repräsentatives Anwesen in ruhiger Lage, abseits der Touristenhochburgen mit einer erstklassigen Ausstattung, wunderschöner Außenanlage ( Lavendel-Paradies um die Terrasse), in einem sehr sauberen und gepflegten Zustand. Sehr netter und freundlicher Empfang der Eigentümerin sowie Vor-Ort-Service (defekter Kühlschrank wurde innerhalb eines halben Tages ersetzt-grandios!!!)...Wir (6 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder) hatten einen wunderschönen 1. Urlaub in Kroatien. Begeistert haben uns u.a. der Limski-Fjord, Groznjan und Porec. Sehr gern empfehlen wir diese Villa weiter und sagen herzlichst DANKE an die Eigentümerin!!!
