Enchanting 3-BR Villa for 6, with Saltwater Pool

Welcome to Villa Sofija – your perfect home away from home in the heart of sunny Istria! Nestled in the charming village of Tar, just 6 km from vibrant Poreč and a quick 2 km drive to the sea, this beautiful villa offers the ideal blend of comfort, privacy, and convenience.
Designed for relaxation and enjoyment, Villa Sofija stretches across two stylish levels. Upstairs, you’ll find three cozy bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with a king-size bed, private en-suite bathroom, and a balcony for peaceful morning coffee moments. The other two bedrooms – one with a queen-size bed (160x200) and one with two single beds – share a sleek, modern bathroom.
Downstairs, the bright and airy living room flows into a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing delicious local meals. And with air conditioning in every room, your comfort is guaranteed throughout your stay.
Step outside into your private oasis – a sparkling saltwater pool, a fully equipped summer kitchen, BBQ area, and a shaded al fresco dining space invite you to unwind and enjoy long summer evenings.
Located just steps from local cafés, restaurants, and family-friendly parks, Villa Sofija is a true gem for couples, families, or friends.
Pets are welcome. Bring up to 2 dogs (small fee of €20 per dog/day).
Whether you're here to explore, relax, or simply enjoy the Istrian sun – Villa Sofija is ready to welcome you.


Tar is a charming village in the Istria region of Croatia that offers an authentic experience away from the more touristy spots. Its historic old town is a delight to explore, with narrow streets, stone houses, and a relaxed atmosphere. As you stroll through, you might come across local cafes, shops, and unique architecture.
One of Tar’s landmarks is the Church of St. Martin, a historical gem worth visiting. If open, step inside to admire its architecture and artwork.
Food lovers will appreciate Tar’s connection to Istrian cuisine. Indulge in local specialties like truffles, olive oil, and seafood at nearby restaurants or taverns, paired with a local Istrian wine.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Tar is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, perfect for cycling or walking. Rent a bike or enjoy scenic trails through the picturesque countryside and coastline.
Although inland, Tar is close to several beaches in coastal towns like Poreč and Novigrad, where you can relax or enjoy water sports along the Adriatic Sea.
Villa Sofija is also just a short drive away from the popular Istralandia Water Park, located only a 15-minute drive from Tar, making it a great choice for family fun and adventure.
Using Tar as a base, you can also explore nearby towns. Poreč features the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, while Novigrad offers its own historic charm.
To deepen your experience, check for local festivals or cultural events during your visit. From music festivals to food fairs and traditional celebrations, Istria’s rich cultural heritage often takes center stage.

Perfekter Familienurlaub!

Unser Aufenthalt war einfach wunderbar. Das Haus bot alles, was wir für einen entspannten Familienurlaub brauchten, besonders der Pool war ein Highlight für Groß und Klein. Nach schönen Stunden am Wasser haben wir viele Ausflüge in die Umgebung gemacht. Die Strände, kleinen Orte und die ganze Region haben uns total begeistert. Es war die perfekte Mischung aus Erholung und Entdeckung, und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Einfach traumhaft!

Wir haben hier eine unvergessliche Familienzeit erlebt. Die Kinder wollten gar nicht aus dem Pool raus, und wir Erwachsenen haben es genauso genossen, einfach am Wasser zu entspannen. Das Haus ist wunderschön eingerichtet und genauso gemütlich wie auf den Bildern. Alles war so angenehm und unkompliziert, wir wären am liebsten noch länger geblieben!

Mir, prostor i onaj osjećaj da ne moraš nigdje žuriti

Proljeće u ovoj kući bilo je pravo otkriće za nas kao obitelj. Sve je bilo tiho, zelenilo oko kuće još svježe i živo, a terasa nam je postala omiljeno mjesto za duge doručke i popodnevne razgovore. Djeca su imala dovoljno prostora za igru, a mi smo napokon imali vremena za knjige i zajedničko kuhanje. Kuća je uređena s ukusom, udobna i jako čista, odmah smo se osjećali kao kod kuće. Jedan od onih odmora koji te stvarno napuni iznutra.

Hvala na predivnoj recenziji! Presretni smo što ste uživali u proljeću u našem smještaju i pronšli vrijeme za sebe i obitelj. Radujemo se mogućnosti da vas ponovno ugostimo u budućnosti.
