Villa Storja - Cinq Chambres Villa, Couchages 10

Within walking distance of the coastline of this charming region of northern Croatia, Villa Storja is a spectacularly sophisticated delight with five magnificent bedrooms and a private pool!

Your interiors are every bit as beautiful as the striking exterior, with the same soft, natural colour tones and a classic elegance to each wonderful part. Your lounge is simultaneously stunning and supremely comfortable, with two large sofas in front of the modern TV, creating a perfect space in which to wind down after a day of exploration! Your dazzling kitchen is magnificently modern, with sleek white surfaces, fully-equipped with everything you could wish for to prepare a feast for the whole group! Enjoy these culinary creations at your superb round dining table, from which you can enjoy views out onto the pool terrace.

Three of the bedrooms are in the main villa, while the final two are in the guesthouse. All five are supremely comfortable, with plush beds adorned with tons of cushions and warm throws for extra comfort. Each features a fabulous ensuite bathroom, as elegant and stylish as the rest of the home – all are incredibly spacious, ornate and include either a majestic oversized bathtub or a wonderful walk-in shower. Several of the bedrooms even have immediate access to the garden, so you can soak up all the wonders which await you here just seconds after rising!

Accessed through the hallway, the kitchen or the lounge, as well as several bedrooms, is your large garden, and at the heart, the private pool. Dive in for a refreshing dip before rinsing off under the accompanying outdoor shower and then drying off in the sunshine on one of the many loungers! Right alongside the pool, perfectly shaded under the elegant canopy, is your glamorous alfresco dining area, perfect for dining in style! A lawn encircles the guesthouse to provide even more space for the youngsters to enjoy their freedom.

While you’ll find the incredible coastline within walking distance, you’re also surrounded by verdant countryside, perfect for exploring on the bicycles provided in the villa! In fact, one third of the Istrian territory is forested and the rest is carpeted with vineyards, olive trees, pastures and orchards, with ancient walled cities perched atop hills in the mountainous landscape, so you need merely stroll out of your front door to find the richness of Istria.

Location:

Just a 20-minute walk away from the dazzling coast, Villa Storja is beautifully nestled between the forested interior landscape and the dazzling Adriatic Sea.

Along the coast you can stroll along picturesque promenades, both sandy and pebble beaches and lap up the crystal clear waters! From breath-taking scenery and rich history to a world-famous culinary scene – you will find it all in Istria! A myriad of enchanting towns and villages, rich in history and culture, are nestled among the undulating countryside.

Nearby Poreč is a town of culture, tourism, sport and entertainment and has one of the most important Western Byzantine churches outside Italy yet is also the party hub of the peninsula, showing just how diverse this region is!

Just 45 minutes away, you can’t miss the delightful Venetian coastal town of Rovinj half-way up the western coastline. Wander the old town, with its Venetian architecture and marble streets and admire the views across the marina before settling for a meal in one of its many beautiful sea-side restaurants. And be sure to stop off in Lim Bay while you’re there – a dramatic Fjord stretching for miles inland!

Active holiday-makers will be delighted with the offerings: from windsurfing in Medulin to scuba diving in the Brijuni National park and rock climbing, hang-gliding and walking in Buzet along the 15km ‘seven waterfalls’ walk, Istria has it all. Both along the dramatic coastal paths and in the mountains inland, you will find an abundance of pristine paths for cycling (including the picturesque Parenzana route over an old railway line from Viznada to the Slovenian border) and rugged off-road hiking trails.

Much like its neighbouring Italy, Istria is a gastronome’s paradise, home to world-class cuisine and endless rows of vineyards. Be sure to try the local wines. Istria is especially famous for its truffles, which you will find served with any dish and sauce! Truffle flavoured olive oil is a typical product of the region and indeed, you will hardly find a village which does not have its own Olive Oil ‘supermarket’!

Both Rijeka and Pula have international airports within a short drive of the villa, while Pula is the main hub for those getting ferries, although there is daily ferry between Poreč and Venice.
