Villa Pinja Croatia

Sophistication and elegance ooze from the rich designs of Villa Pinja, which invite you to switch off and settle in to a perfect holiday of rejuvenation!
Your living spaces offer an idyllic relaxation zone. Seat yourself in the huge sofa before the TV and switch off, enjoying the elegant décor and the warm glow of natural which flows through the patio doors. A classic style permeates the designs of both the interiors and exteriors. Your lovely kitchen, with its granite worktops and incredible breakfast bar, invites you to cook up a treat before dining at your spectacular formal dining area beside the lounge. There’s a second dining space, in the wonderful garden, where you can enjoy your delicious meals in the fresh air!
All four bedrooms embody this enchanting fusion of sophistication and comfort, with plush furnishings and intricate designs. There are four immense double beds, draped with plush throws and countless cushions, inviting you to dive under the covers for an unrivalled restful night. Each is accompanied by an elegant ensuite bathroom, guaranteeing your privacy and comfort. Some of the rooms even offer direct garden access, or else a private terrace or balcony – perfect for those members of the group that like to get up and go! There’s also a magnificent roof-terrace which promises jaw-dropping sunset views and looks out for miles over the rich Istrian countryside.
Out in your immense garden you can enjoy the natural surroundings anew, with native plants and trees all around your huge private pool. Dip in and out of the pool and relax on the many luxury loungers which surround it, soaking up the sunshine and drying off in the famous Istrian heat. Beside the pool there’s also an outdoor shower, so you won’t have to head inside after each relaxing dip. An outdoor kitchen space offers a fabulous BBQ on which to prepare some delicious treats for the whole group, and of course a stunning alfresco dining area is ideal for enjoying meals in style!
With the endless dazzling coastline just a few minutes away, you can enjoy the absolute highlights of this region right on your doorstep! Sandy bays, dramatic cliffs and rich forests make for a sublime coast, perfectly picturesque and just waiting to greet new visitors!
Just a 20-minute walk away from the dazzling coast, Villa Pinja is beautifully nestled between the forested interior landscape and the dazzling Adriatic Sea. Along the coast you can stroll along picturesque promenades, both sandy and pebble beaches and lap up the crystal clear waters! From breath-taking scenery and rich history to a world-famous culinary scene – you will find it all in Istria! A myriad of enchanting towns and villages, rich in history and culture, are nestled among the undulating countryside.
Nearby Poreč is a town of culture, tourism, sport and entertainment and has one of the most important Western Byzantine churches outside Italy yet is also the party hub of the peninsula, showing just how diverse this region is!
Just 45 minutes away, you can’t miss the delightful Venetian coastal town of Rovinj half-way up the western coastline. Wander the old town, with its Venetian architecture and marble streets and admire the views across the marina before settling for a meal in one of its many beautiful sea-side restaurants. And be sure to stop off in Lim Bay while you’re there – a dramatic Fjord stretching for miles inland!
Active holiday-makers will be delighted with the offerings: from windsurfing in Medulin to scuba diving in the Brijuni National park and rock climbing, hang-gliding and walking in Buzet along the 15km ‘seven waterfalls’ walk, Istria has it all. Both along the dramatic coastal paths and in the mountains inland, you will find an abundance of pristine paths for cycling (including the picturesque Parenzana route over an old railway line from Viznada to the Slovenian border) and rugged off-road hiking trails.
Much like its neighbouring Italy, Istria is a gastronome’s paradise, home to world-class cuisine and endless rows of vineyards. Be sure to try the local wines. Istria is especially famous for its truffles, which you will find served with any dish and sauce! Truffle flavoured olive oil is a typical product of the region and indeed, you will hardly find a village which does not have its own Olive Oil ‘supermarket’!
Both Rijeka and Pula have international airports within a short drive of the villa, while Pula is the main hub for those getting ferries, although there is daily ferry between Poreč and Venice.
