Villa Andy Croatia
Holiday Home Rental Description
We fell head over heals in love with Villa Andy the moment we stepped inside, and we are sure you will too! This charming property is steeped in history, from its historical role during the Second World War, it has now opened its doors to guests looking for a unique, enriching holiday experience. Sleeping up to six guests in the beautiful surrounds of Northern Croatia, this is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday with your loved ones.
Perhaps one of the most significant features of the villa is an old hand mill, which during the war, was used to supply milk and flour to the army. The villa forms around it, with stunning arched ceilings and character features in every room. Modern styles and comforts have been elegantly blended in, with old and new merging together to created sublime living spaces.
The main entertaining areas flow around the ground floor, with open arches creating the feel of an open plan room. The living room is grand, furnished with a plush sofa set and a fireplace, producing a cosy, welcoming feel. You can curl up in this room, reading books and watching TV, hiding away after a busy day of exploring. The dining room is our favourite space in the house. A large ten-person dining table takes centre stage, surrounded by glass doors, that frame the stunning views all around. Celebratory meals or quiet family dinners all the same, feel special in this beautiful space, with light streaming in through the day and a romantic atmosphere at night. The kitchen is quite spacious, with a rustic farmhouse feel, oozing charm and character to make cooking feel like a dream.
The villa is spread across two floors. Upstairs, a small terrace overlooks the scenic views, so guests can lounge and embrace the sunshine all through the afternoon. The two bedrooms and bathroom maintain the same characterful décor as the rest of the villa. Bedroom one is furnished with a double bed and wardrobe, whilst the second bedroom boasts both a spacious double and two dingle beds. There is a single sofa bed in the living where one guest can sleep comfortably.The house has a sauna, swimming pool and a garden with an incredible view. Al-fresco dining, barbecuing and outdoor living are a must in this stunning location. We are sure you will love this villa as much as we do! Villa Andy sits amongst the stunning natural surrounds of Northern Croatia. With mountain views to die for, this tranquil space offers everything you need and more to unwind and de-stress. History buffs will be in delighted as the entire region is overflowing with historical tales. Whilst nature lovers can explore the natural delights of the area, discovering waterfalls, mountains, and sea.
One of the most beautiful castles in Croatia, Castle Trakoščan is only a few kilometers from the villa and can be reached within minutes, so this cannot be missed. Make sure you pack your camera, as these stunning spots should be captured and shared! There are hiking and cycling trails around the castle, which all ages can enjoy. For those who have an interest in precious stones, you should visit nearby Gaveznica, which is one of the best sites for semi-precious stones. Krapina, a historical town, just twenty minutes away, has a whole museum dedicated to prehistoric artifacts.
For outdoor enthusiasts, a few kilometres away is the mountain Ravna Gora which is famous for paragliding and kite flying. If you are up to the adventure, then you will get some of the best views available across Croatia, with the whole region stretching out in front of you. There is also a lake about five kilometres away, where you can enjoy boating, perfect for a summer day.
There is a shop and a supermarket less than a kilometer away from the villa, however it is a little further to the nearest restaurant, with at least four kilometers to travel. Croatia is also famed as one of the best spots in Europe to find truffles and olive farms can be found throughout the country, producing olive oils, so you can take a tour and learn how olive oil is made and why Croatian’s claim it is the best in world!
