Villa Fara Croatia

Villa Fara is situated in the wonderful countryside of the fabulous Istrian peninsula. Someone must have perused many interior design magazines before choosing the on-point décor for this fantastic villa. It is chic and modern. With minimalistic taste, there are brilliant flashes of colour that make you smile. Some touches are so simple, yet they work incredibly well.  The villa is located close to the village of Jursici, 7km from Vodnjan and 10km from the sea. The Istrian peninsula has a rich history and is stunningly beautiful though you might find it hard to drag yourselves away from this very special villa. Villa Fara offers you modern, contemporary comfort in an area steeped in rich Istrian heritage and natural beauty. Villa Fara, built in 2017, is situated on a stunning 4200 sqm plot. It is huge! The garden is beautiful, with lush lawns and fantastic planting. The villa is very private. Children will be delighted by the playground. The swimming pool is fabulous with a gorgeous hydromassage waterfall. The pool can be heated for an extra charge if you wish. Quality sun loungers surround the pool as well as alfresco dining, a barbecue and outdoor kitchen area and an atmospheric wine bar in the separate pool room. The super cool mood lighting is so effective, creating a lovely warm atmosphere.  The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is spectacular. With so many doors and windows, it is an incredibly light space with awesome furniture and fittings. It is so tasteful with everything flowing and blending so well. The artwork is astounding. One of the beautiful bedrooms is on the ground floor, together with a dazzling, trendy shower room.  Upstairs there are a further four incredible bedrooms. Each one has two single mattresses making a huge, comfortable bed. Again the designer lighting is so cool and trendy in the bedrooms. The pristine, ensuite bathrooms are astonishing. The underfloor heating can be used if required. The villa also boasts a fabulous sauna and jacuzzi for your enjoyment.  Villa Fara is absolutely fabulous, a perfect, trendy destination for a wonderful, relaxed holiday. The heart shape of the Istrian peninsula says it all. It is gorgeous! The bucolic interior of rolling hills and fertile fields, together with charming hilltop villages and gastronomic feasts attracts visitors wanting a relaxed holiday in a stunning location. The indented coastline is enormously popular with the sun-and-sea set. The peninsula is often divided into two distinct regions, Blue Istria, the dazzling coast and Green Istria, the lush interior.  Istria is sometimes compared to Tuscany, being swathed in olive groves and vineyards and speckled with Medieval hilltowns. The cuisine has a distinctly Italian flair too, with much air-cured ham and fresh pasta. Truffles are frequently added and are delicious. Truffles were discovered by accident in Istria by farmers. They were fed to the pigs until Italians turned up wanting to buy them all at rock-bottom prices. Now the black truffles and more precious white truffles are definitely appreciated. You will also find a lot of fish on the menus. The daily catch includes anchovies, sardines, octopus, red and grey mullet, scampi, shrimp, spider crab, squid and sea urchins.  Some of the most popular towns to visit on Istria are Umag, Porec, Rovinj and Pula.
Rovinj is a true gem. The Croatian Ministry of Tourism organised a ‘Days of Tourism 2019’ conference where Rovinj won the Best Leisure Destination in Croatia! This alluring, picturesque Istrian fishing harbour town is so charming. The old town is contained within an egg-shaped peninsula, netted with steep, cobbled streets and pretty squares and punctuated by the majestic tall church rising from the highest point.  The stunning Pula is situated in the valley of seven hills, with extraordinary Adriatic views. Narrow cobbled streets and magnificent Roman buildings beckon. The spectacular amphitheatre was built to host 20000 spectators between 27-68AD and is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre in the world with a complete circle wall. Every year, thousands of ravers descend on Pula for two incredible festivals, Dimensions and Outlook. You can catch a ferry from just outside Pula to visit the tiny car-free islet Veli Brijun. Animals roam free in the parkland which is part of the Brijuni National Park. At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
