The house and amenities are absolutely wonderful. It is very quiet and relaxing. The view from the terrace and pool are gorgeous. Go by yourself or with family and friends. You won't be disappointed. I'm already planning my next trip!

Surrounded by mountains and rolling hills and set in a perfect and peaceful rural setting, we found the Villa Monte to be genuine five star accomodation: stylish and high quality interior decoration, every convenience supplied, superbly equipped rooms and a private swimming pool with views to die for, the villa is set on the edge of a quiet safe child friendly village in the centre of Istria. We found it perfect for touring and relaxing, enjoyed swimming in the large pool and indulged ourselves in al fresco eating on the large secluded terrace as well as in excellent local restaurants. We are already looking at re-booking for next year and cannot recommend it highly enough.
