Tucked in the heart of Tomišići, this bright home caters to family holidays away from the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots. You won't be far from Žminj, a charming town that offers insight into local life – take part in the Istrian folk celebration of Bartulja in August. Fancy a drive to the coast? Fifteen miles from here, you can spend an afternoon strolling through the cobbled streets of Rovinj, leading you to the towering church of St. Euphemia. Flooded with light, this villa boasts an open-plan living space that is perfect for making plans over a Croatian breakfast. Prioritising relaxation is easy when you have a refreshing pool and a private sauna to escape to. Not only that, you can guarantee tech-free fun with a trampoline and table tennis awaiting. Once everyone grows hungry, fire up the stone barbecue and cook supper in the fresh air. Later, we suggest sneaking off to the bedroom balcony to watch a romantic sunset.
