Weathered Istrian stone, a lap pool framed by colonnades, and rolling hills in every direction – this villa in Staniši earns its place. Inside, the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace and classic villa architecture give it true soul, while the fenced garden – with its outdoor kitchen, shaded dining under stone arches, and fire pit – makes evenings hard to cut short. Medieval ruins, wild coastal nature, and charming harbour towns are all within easy driving distance when you're ready to venture out.

Home truths

  • The villa sits in a rural part of Istria, surrounded by vineyards. You'll want to hire a car to get around – there is free driveway parking here for up to four vehicles.

  • The pool is open seasonally, so if you're visiting outside the summer months, it's worth confirming with your host whether it will be available during your stay.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, baby monitor, and safety gates. Children's dinnerware is also available. Ask in advance so everything is ready on arrival.

  • An outdoor and indoor jacuzzi, sauna, and gym are planned as future additions to the estate but are not yet in place. It's worth checking with your host for the latest update before you book if these are important to your stay.

  • At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed.
