CASA DELLA VIGNA
Oprtalj, Istria and Kvarner Riviera
£450 - £850 per week
2-bedroom house in medieval hilltop town. Breathtaking views across central Istria. Sleeps 4-6. Air-conditioned, terrace and garden. Golf course 30min away. A house for all seasons.
This delightful house is perched above the medieval town walls of the hilltop town of Oprtalj in Central Istria and has breathtaking views over valleys, vineyards, olive groves and distant mountain ranges. The landscape is wonderful; in the spring and summer you are surrounded by lush greenery, and in the autumn a whole range of colours is dazzling – from yellows and golds, to pinks, bright reds and browns. The view towards the town is also charming – sitting on the terrace, among the fig and palm trees you can discern the white Venetian church bell tower across the road, on the little town square.
