'The villa is an excellent base from which to explore this area and is so much better than those we have been accustomed to in Greece. Food is excellent, very good value, and the service very friendly. We visited Motovun, Groznjan, Vrsar, Porec, Rovinj, Novigrad, Lim Fjord and the island of Cres. All are worth the effort.'

About the owner
Keith and I live in England with our two teenage sons. We work for ourselves and are lucky to be able to spend a few weeks of the year in lovely Istria, although it's always difficult to leave! We would be very happy to discuss and answer any questions you may have. As we have spent a considerable amount of time in Istria I think we can give more local information than you would normally obtain from a brochure, or browsing the internet.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We love this area because it has excellent access from many airports, as well as being easy driving distance from the UK. The surrounding area has so much to offer and the coastline is amazing with it's many islands and inlets complimented by the crystal clear warm water of the Adriatic. The countryside is very unspoilt and the local people are so friendly. Istria was once part of Italy and you will see the Italian influence with architecture and wonderful cuisine. There are great bars and restaurants in the village of Tar which offer excellent ice creams, coffee, and pastries at prices you will find very pleasing. The neighbouring towns of Novigrad and Porec offer similar variety on a larger scale, seafood, steaks, pasta and pizzas are all of excellent quality.
Unique benefits of the property
The small Bella Vista complex is very unusual having both a floodlit all weather tennis court and a pool which are only a few steps from our door. The house is a short walk from the village centre, yet in a quiet location. We love the tennis court and pool, and swimming in the warm sea at any of the local beaches is a treat. You really can do as much or as little as you like at Bella Vista.
