Casa Dimas Croatia

A stunning villa for ten overlooking forest and vineyards, Casa Dimas is situated in the village of Režanci, in the centre of Croatia’s Istrian region. Just a short drive from the charming medieval town of Svetvinčenat, Casa Dimas offers a wonderful experience inside and out, with a stunning pool and terrace, and an on-site wellness centre, among its highlights.
The 48 square metre pool and a gorgeous dining terrace look out over the vineyards and a large area of private forest which forms part of the property. You can go for invigorating walks among the trees, or enjoy a variety of activities at the villa, including Pétanque, golf on the practice green, or soaking in the hot tub on the veranda. There is also exercise equipment if you fancy a workout, located in the fitness and spa house.
This secure and secluded villa features some eye-catching interiors, with Art Deco and American inspirations evident in many of the rooms. The large living and dining area has signature furnishings, unique to the villa, and opens onto the chef’s kitchen and dining terrace, with views of the pool, forest, and vineyard. This traditional Istrian covered terrace has a wood-burning stove and seating for up to twelve diners.
Casa Dimas features a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room and direct access to the terrace and hot tub. Four more bedrooms all have an en-suite, Ruark sound system and king-size bed, each of which can be divided into twin beds for extra flexibility. Air-conditioning, underfloor heating and free Wi-Fi are among this villa’s many advantages, as well as each King size bed being separable into two twin beds.
In a particularly convenient location for discovering the rest of Istria, Casa Dimas is around 30 minutes’ drive from the coast, with the stunning town of Rovinj well worth seeking out. Pula lies a similar distance to the south, with its own historical treasures to see. Head north, and it’s not much further to the stunning Motovun-Montona, host of an international film festival each summer, and you can even make it across the border to beautiful Piran in Slovenia, in a little over one hour.The medieval town of Svetvinčenat lies on Croatia’s Istrian peninsula, around 30 minutes north of Pula. Its centrality makes it a fine base for exploring the wider region, and in recent years it has become something of an attraction in itself, as more people discover its appealing architecture, cuisine and cultural offerings.
As Croatian wines grow in popularity and stature, Svetvinčenat does its bit to promote the best of the region with an annual New Wine Festival each autumn. In July, it’s cheese which takes centre-stage, with the Svetvinčenat Cheese Festival hosting artisanal cheese makers from all over Croatia and neighbouring Slovenia too.
At other times of the year, you might come across a Medieval Festival, the International Dance & Non-Verbal Theatre Festival or, perhaps most intriguingly of all, the Selection of Miss and Mister Goat.
Svetvinčenat’s main square, Placa, and castle, Morosini-Grimani, are among its highlights, earning it a reputation as one of Istria’s best-preserved medieval towns. There is a small selection of nice eateries in Svetvinčenat too, including some good pizzerias.
While Svetvinčenat may have only recently attracted the attention of visitors, larger towns like Rovinj and Pula are better-known to tourists. Wonderfully picturesque, Rovinj lies on the peninsula’s west coast and is around 30 minutes from Svetvinčenat. The variety of beaches and some stunning countryside in the surrounding area are more than enough reason to visit, and it’s also the place to be for chilled out nightlife in Istria.
Pula’s star attraction is its Roman amphitheatre, right in the centre of town and a focal point for live entertainment in the summer months. The region’s largest city, it’s less crowded than Dubrovnik and becoming the go-to alternative for those in the know – go for the film festival, big-name concerts and enchanting, diverse architecture.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
