Villa Dinja Croatia

Villa Dinja is the quintessential Istrian bolthole offering an up-market blend of architectural and designer finesse within a welcoming, home-from-home environment brimming with local flavour.
Convenience is the cornerstone of this charming home, which is just a short stroll from the pretty village centre, whilst offering cooling shade and dappled serenity within its own grounds, comprising pool-side terrace and stone-walled private enclave.
The glistening pool creates a dazzling vision set within a sleek, stone patio – framed by a rather elegant dining pavilion finished with billowing curtains and sedate style.
Both quality and style are apparent at every turn, whilst the handsome white-washed facade offers a sleek monochrome vision offset by two wrought iron-balconies – the latter providing the ultimate spot for an intimate tête-à-tète, whether it be a fresh morning coffee as the town comes to life or an evening glass of wine, fragrant with blossoming plants.
Outdoor living is executed at its very finest at Villa Dinja: guests will drop the tempo and ease into the local pace of life. The poolside is dotted with sleek loungers, where guests can sit back with a good book and a cooling beer, whilst dining will be fresh, simple yet endlessly delectable thanks to the local produce, fresh sea-food on offer and barbecue facilities.
What better way to enjoy this home’s charming tranquillity by lazing in the hammock, soaking up the Adriatic breezes and scent of local flavours! Fusing both simplicity and style – al fresco dining is no excuse to lower culinary standards – with a built-in-in brick oven and solid timer dining furniture, guests will dine in style!

With all the luxury of a boutique hotel, yet all the quirks of a private home, guests will delight in this hidden jewel of a home that is a far-cry from soulless cookie-cutter rentals!
