Rooftop Terrace

Split across two equally charming, traditionally Croatian villas, this home has plenty of room for a big group to spread out.

There are also a handful of alfresco dining options; a cluster of comfy seats and coffee tables for a casual set-up, or for the whole group in the dedicated outdoor dining room, covered and with a built-in barbecue. The highlight of the outdoors has to be the swimming pool though, glittering and inviting you for a dip on a sunny day.

The main villa houses four of the bedrooms within its honey-brown walls. Here you’ll find an open-plan living area streaming with sunshine from floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, and a table for group dinners inside.

You’re in the heart of the Istrian countryside here, where the hills are filled with hikes to secret waterfalls, rolling vineyards and the crumbling ruins of castles. The Slovenian border is less than twenty minutes drive and if you want to head to the coast, the charming ancient fishing village of Poreč juts out into the sea a forty-minute drive away.

Serene As Can Be

Single-Level Home

Peaceful Croatian escapes don’t get much better than this. A bright and welcoming apartment, this home sits in pretty Orbanići Gorenji – it’s a quiet spot away from the touristy areas so you can experience authentic Croatia while getting some real R&R. 

You’ll wake up in the morning feeling refreshed after a comfortable night’s sleep. The apartment is stylish and modern, but comfort is key so you won’t be short of cosy corners to curl up in. The living and dining space is open-plan, leading straight outside so as you lounge on the sofa or cook breakfast you can admire the leafy garden through the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. 

Outside, a swimming pool sits in the middle of a lush garden lined with trees. It’s quiet and sunny, a little oasis. In the evenings you might make use of the barbecue for alfresco feasts under the stars – you can drive into Žminj for supplies in six minutes. 

If you need to paddle in the sea for it to really feel like a holiday, you needn’t travel too far. Beautiful Rovinj is a thirty-minute drive and is surrounded by attractive pebble beaches – we like Bale beach, which is thirty-two minutes away.

Tucked in the hills of Kaldir village, this home makes for a laidback Croatian stay.

Sitting among five acres of grounds in the heart of rural Istria, this marvellous address has stood on this idyllic site since the 19th century. Indeed, there's quite a rustic flavour to the interior what with all the wooden beams and exposed brickwork, but it's fair to say that quite a few changes have been made in the century or so since.

Some of these can be found outside, such as with the swimming pool surrounded by loungers and a dining table – thankfully, there's a pretty impressive outdoor kitchen out here as well so you really embrace the alfresco way of life. However, there are plenty of modern amenities to be found inside, including a games room complete with shuffleboard, darts board and PS5.

If you're more than happy to simply sit back and relax, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to spots to do just that. There are lovely views of the Croatian countryside to be had out on the terrace, but come evening time, you can gather around the fireplace or disappear off to one of the elegant freestanding bathtubs for an hour or two instead.

You don't have to spend very long at the address to find out how tranquil the location is, but if you're craving civilisation again at any point, there are a number of charming towns to discover nearby, like Groznjan and Porec, as well as the seaside at Novigrad.

Private Parking

Throws

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.

You don't come across a villa with its own squash hall every day, but that's exactly what's in store here. Sporty types can enjoy some friendly games –there's also ping pong if you're not keen on squash. Outside, we're sure everyone will appreciate the private pool. After a dip, gather on the terrace for an alfresco meal or a few sundowners. Inside, it's slick and modern, albeit a tad soulless.
