Villa Romola

Villa Romola is an exquisitively built villa according to its owners’ exacting specifications. It is a new stone built villa, using the Istrian building materials typical of old Istrian farmhouses and located in a small hamlet a few kilometres out of Visnjan and around and around 15 kilometers from the coastal town of Porec. The striking and unique property of this villa is its indoor grandeur and spaciousness. The beauty and proportions of this vacation home suggests the old Roman nobleman’s country estate, such as there were many in Istria 2000 years ago. The house is finished to perfection inside and outside, and has all the modern facilities for a fabulous holiday. A well stocked wine cellar is open to the guests ( wine charged extra), and a gym and sauna are not just good to use, but fabulously designed. The villa is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and oak woods. It is 15 minutes drive from the sea and lively coastal towns, but provides tranquillity and relaxation for the guests. It is a wonderful place all year round, as it has underfloor heating. You will be in heaven if you visit in October and November for truffle festivals, wild mushroom dishes, wine making and olive picking. Or in the spring for wild asparagus picking. You are in the heart of the gourmet region of Croatia!
