A charming little fishing village on Istria's coast, Fažana is most known as the gateway to the Brijuni Islands. Alongside the bustling port, you'll find shallow beaches, a colourful seafront promenade and a bevvy of local eateries. Not to mention this contemporary villa, which boasts a heated pool, fitness room and a sun-kissed garden inviting you to spend hours relaxing in the fresh air. While the flashy style may not be to everyone's tastes, the living areas both get plenty of light – and the layout is two self-contained apartments stacked on top of each other. A bit unusual, sure, but a good option for groups wanting their own space.

About Istria
Croatia’s northern peninsula, jutting out into the cool blue of the Adriatic Sea, has been a traveller favourite for decades. The region’s capital, Pula, is home to an ancient Roman amphitheatre, as well as family-run restaurants serving rustic fare from the hillside farmsteads around Istria and delicious local wines from the region’s vineyards.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
