Villa Cyrillo Croatia

Villa Cyrillo is a stunning two bedroom barn conversion in the glorious countryside at Drivenik, opposite Krk Island. Drivenik is a charming, quiet village, and the Crikvenica-Vinodolski Riviera is a stunning location for your holiday. For active holidays, there are fantastic opportunities for paragliding, fishing at the Tribalj Lake, cycling and hiking. You can discover amazing hiking trails with spectacular vantage points and ancient fortresses along the way. If you would rather relax, there are lovely beaches and amazing restaurants close by.  The 2017 conversion is amazing with the living space on the first floor and the two double bedrooms on the lower ground floor. The vaulted ceiling and exposed stone walls are so atmospheric in the living space. It is open-plan with a sleek, pristine kitchen and fabulous, modern furnishings. Think chic, think cool, think atmospheric, think huge expanse of glass with beautiful garden and pool views, think funky, and you understand what Villa Cyrillo is about.  A spiral staircase leads you downstairs to the contemporary bedrooms and bathrooms. Again, splashes of colour brighten this modern space. This villa is ideal for two couples or a small family. There is also a sofa bed in the living space which could be used if you have more than four guests.  You will certainly feel away from it all at Villa Cyrillo. It is situated in a wonderful plot with absolutely fantastic views of the countryside and mountains from its sunny, elevated position. The pool is surrounded with deluxe loungers, alfresco dining with a barbecue and a fabulous garden. The pool has hydromassage, and there is an outdoor shower. The outdoor dining is covered. The exposed brickwork again adds to the wonderful ambience. This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a Croatian holiday. Crikvenica is one of the oldest summer resorts in Croatia with a famous health resort. Kotor is considered to be the old Crikvenica on top of a nearby hill. The public beach is sandy and has had a Blue Flag since 1998. You will find many watersports as well as bars and restaurants. Balustrada Beach is pebbly and stretches from the public sandy beach to the centre of the town. Crikvenica is very attractive with many historic buildings, including the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary built in 1412. Crikvenica is great for shopping with a large mall that opened in 2013, the Duga Mall shopping centre. The colourful local market is great for local fruit and vegetables.  Rijeka is the third biggest town in Croatia with a very busy port and an atmospheric blend of Italianate Habsburg grandeur. Rijeka’s busy promenade, Korzo, has some lively markets and is a really buzzy place to be. The fish market building is decorated with sculptures of sea creatures. You will find so many varieties of fish inside. Just next to the fish market you can buy fruit and vegetables at the central market. There are so many restaurants to choose from serving delicious Croatian dishes. Trsat Castle has a wonderful panorama and is very attractive.  It is very easy to take a boat trip to the island of Krk or Rab as well as the small island of Kosljun. Krk is Croatia’s largest island and home to Rijeka airport. The main resorts on the island are Malinska, Omisalj, Vrbnik, Punat, Baska and Krk Town. Kosljun is home to a Franciscan Monastery. The Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of Croatia’s most popular tourist attractions with UNESCO World Heritage status. It is located roughly between Zagreb and Zadar on the coast. The beauty of the National Park lies in its sixteen lakes, inter-connected by a series of stunning waterfalls and set in deep woodland populated by bears, wolves, deer and rare birds. You will see some truly stunning scenes, so don’t forget your camera!  Istria is not very far from the villa. It is definitely worth exploring this stunning peninsula and visiting the fabulous towns of Pula, Rovinj, Porec and Umag.
