Guest comments
We've just returned from your beautiful villa . We had a wonderful time not least because your villa and its location are stunning! The villa truly lived up to all our expectations!
(GD, August 2008)
Lovely stay in a lovely villa. The pool was wonderful, great position as it gets the sun all day. Very nice & peaceful - couldn't ask for nicer surroundings.
(MW Jul 2008)
The landscape & view of the woods around the villa was breathtaking and something I will never forget.
(Natalie May 2008)
The ice-making fridge is a lifesaver in a 41degree heatwave. Cheers for a great 2 week family holiday in a fantastic villa.
(JC Jul 2007)
We had lots of lovely BBQs & it was lovely sat outside watching the sun go down with a glass of wine! Needless to say, the villa is lovely. Very comfortable, everything you could possibly want & in the most beautiful location.

Owner profile
About the owner
I live in England with my wife, son and baby daughter. My wife and I both work and we try to make it out to our villa at least 4 or 5 times a year. We fell in love with the country when we went on holiday and bought the land to build our lovely villa.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We love Istria because of the green rolling countryside, vineyards, crystal clear waters and last but not least, the fabulous Mediterranean food. Our villa is in a little hamlet of about 15 houses and is a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives in England. With Ryanair now flying to Pula, it is easier than ever to get to our place for a long weekend. The nearby coastal towns are excellent for people watching and eating freshly cooked food.
Unique benefits of the property
The villa is enclosed within stone walls and is therefore safe for families with young children. It has its own heated swimming pool with a barbecue & dining area for fantastic al fresco dining. For the keen golfer, there is a new 18 hole championship golf course at the Kempinski Hotel about 45 minutes drive away.
