Outside
The house has a fully maintained landscaped garden with irrigation system. There are extensive natural stone patios around the 8m x 4m private pool, with outdoor furniture. There is a shady terrace adjacent to the pool if the sun gets too hot for you. The large stone barbecue is a much admired feature of the property, with a sink, food preparation area and power supply - a veritable outdoor kitchen! Finally, there is a roof terrace with a sea view and a spectacular panorama of the surrounding area.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is at the old fishing harbour, 1km from the house. This is a 20 minute walk, or 5 minute cycle. There are numerous other beaches within easy striking distance by car, including the picturesque town of Novigrad with a variety of swimming spots. All the local beaches are Blue Flag rated with lovely clear water.
Travel
The nearest airport is an hour's drive away at Pula, with regular Ryanair services from Stansted (Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday), and a weekly Globespan service from Edinburgh (Sunday). We usually use Trieste airport, which is up to 2 hours drive away in summer, and has regular daily Ryanair flights from Stansted. We have found the car hire to be cheaper at Trieste, although the border crossings can be busy.
Distances
Novigrad, 10 minutes.
Porec, 15 minutes.
Vrsar, 25 minutes.
Limski Fjord, 35 minutes.
Rovinj, 50 minutes.
