About this property
Secluded vacation house surrounded by nature
Unwind at this secluded vacation house on the outskirts of a small village. Enjoy the forest and meadow view from the pool and extensive garden. The house is located in the heart of Istria, with only 30min drive to the beautiful beaches on either side of the peninsula. Although shops, restaurants and the motorway are 5-10 min away, the area is peaceful and secluded.
The house:
The large property is surrounded by forest & meadows, offering complete privacy and relaxation. The house has 2 floors, your accommodation is the entire top floor (no staircase/access from below). Due to a sloped landscape (hillside), you have direct access to the outdoor area, swimming pool and playground.
A large terrace is located at the front of the house, with outdoor seating and dining area, perfect for spending warm summer nights gazing at the stars. If you’re an early riser, enjoy the sunrise over the pool and forest while having a delicious cup of tea or coffee.
The kitchen, dining and living room provide all the comforts and amenities of a home. A high chair and plastic cutlery is provided for the little ones. A desk in the corner serves as a workspace area if needed. The bathroom has a shower, washing machine and basic toiletries. Brushing your teeth in the morning is accompanied by a stunning view of the forest in the distance.
Sleeping:
In the master bedroom you will find a big, comfortable bed (160x200 cm), spacious wardrobe, blackout curtains and a beautiful view of the meadows to the west.
The second bedroom features a bunk bed, a closet, blackout curtains and a view of the forest and meadows to the north. A pull-out sofa in the living room provides 140x200cm bed suitable for 2 people.
Relaxing:
There are several spaces in the extensive outdoor area:
- a big swimming pool (32m2, depth 1.5m, unheated), solar shower, sun umbrella, plenty of natural shade and comfortable sun loungers to spend all your lazy afternoons
- outdoor grill with dining area (wood is provided)
- the entire back garden is a meadow with lots of space for playing football, volleyball, running around and relaxing under oak trees
Exploring:
With central location in the heart of the Istrian peninsula, you can reach either coast (west, east, south) in about 25-30 min from the house. If you want to explore farther, the motorway is just 10min drive.
Please check the amenities section for a full list of items provided.
Owners:
Hi, we are a young couple working remotely. We live on the bottom floor of the house and tend to keep to ourselves. There are no shared spaces (both indoor and outdoor). Furthermore, our floor is facing west only, while your floor has a 360 view of the entire property. The swimming pool and the playground is located to the south and east so there are no privacy issues.
We value both your privacy and ours.
We'll be happy to help if you need anything during your stay.
If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch!
