VILLA ROMOLA
Visnjan, near Porec, Istria and Kvarner Riviera
€3800 - €4200 per week
A luxurious and very spacious three bedroom three bathroom individually designed villa with a lovely garden, a heated pool and many extras. A sauna, steam room and a Turkish bath are provided for cooler months, and an extensive wine cellar stocks best Croatian wines and keeps each wine at the perfect temperature. ADSL internet. Sleeps 6.
Villa Romola is an exquisitely 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 kilometres 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 under floor 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!
