Description
The perfect cosy escape that should be at the top of your bucket list, Villa Maslina is the ultimate tranquil retreat. Nestled in the sprawling Istrian countryside, soak up the scenic crisp air and surround yourself with rolling hills, lush greenery and olive groves. Set in a picturesque hamlet just outside of the seaside town of Porec, experience an authentic taste of Croatia that is away from the tourists but still close to amenities.
Bursting with character, just look at how the typical Istrian architecture and traditional rustic stone exteriors fabulously blend with the contemporary design. As you head inside, you’re welcomed to a modern wonder with minimalist décor and chic furnishings throughout. The olive-green walls and pops of emerald shades beautifully contrast with the warm colour scheme, creating a homely feel. Spread across the ground floor is the kitchen, living, and dining areas that combine to create a bright and airy open-plan space and includes one of the large double bedrooms. Head upstairs to find the other large double bedroom featuring a lush jacuzzi and sauna for that much needed R&R.
This stunning villa is all about outdoor living, with a gorgeous enclosed garden and an expansive 100 square metres all to yourself. After a long day of sightseeing, we recommend picking a sun lounger to unwind on, pouring yourself a cocktail and soaking up the Croatian sun. The generous pool is the main attraction, perfect for refreshing dips to cool off, or for some me time the swing chair is a great spot to sit with a good book. As the evening draws in, enjoy dinner and drinks under the stars in the alfresco dining area and chat the night away.
If you can pull yourself away from this secluded oasis, Porec is just on your doorstep and is a historic town full of Roman influence and an abundance of authentic restaurants. Closer to home are crops of charming villages just walking distance away, with local bistros serving up the typical Istrian cuisine and some international delights.
