Location
Set in the quiet village of Cvitani, the villa is only 20 minutes from Porec and the coast. Porec is packed with history, with a 6th-Century basilica, a fascinating Old Town and harbour. There are many excellent restaurants and cafés. The beaches and bays along the coastline are some of the finest in Croatia.

If you can tear yourself away from the villa’s pool or one of the many stunning beaches, then a trip to Pazin is well worth it. Pazin (23 minutes) is dominated by its medieval fortress in the middle of the town. It also hosts the largest outdoor market in the area, on the first Tuesday of each month. For self-catering, there are supermarkets in Baderna (6 minutes) and Zbandaj (10 minutes). To enjoy some of the area’s excellent wines, head to the Saints Hills Cantina (4 minutes) to sample various wines and buy some to drink at home.

Further afield, the city of Pula (40 minutes) makes an unmissable day trip. It has very well-preserved Roman ruins, as well as many cafés, restaurants and a large harbour.

Pula International Airport is just 40 minutes away. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of May 2025 to the 1st of October 2025
