This ultra-modern Croatian villa was designed by an architect for truly luxurious escapes. South-westerly facing, you can take in the breathtaking sea views from wherever you fancy – the infinity pool, the hot tub, the chill-out corners, or even from bed. Inside, there's an entertainment room with games, and a fitness room and sauna for those who like to stay active. Evenings can be spent in the living room by the fire, or on the terrace as you whip up dinner in the outdoor kitchen. You really do have everything you need here, but if you feel like exploring, there are rocky coves and pebble beaches on the coast, and the old town of Labin is just ten minutes away.
