About this property
Secluded Villa, large refreshing pool, tranquility, family&pet friendly
In period June-Aug, change over day is Saturday and for stays longer than 7 nights please send an inquiry. Other months are flexible and we suggest to send an inquiry to confirm you availability.
Delightful, beautifully positioned, in a very quiet area, at the edge of a small Istrian village, the villa provides privacy for your family, a peaceful and safe comfort place in the Istrian land with calming greenery. One can enjoy relaxing around the refreshing pool, listening to the bird song and prepare the food in superb, stone built BBQ and outdoor kitchen with an additional pizza oven and bar.
Yet, from this relaxing getaway, on easy reach, you may feel spirit of Istrian historic sites, enjoy the culture events, experience the taste of local food and wine.
The closest airport is in Pula (40min) and airports in Trieste (1:30h) and Venezia (2h drive away from villa), open even more options in planning your holiday.
Renewed in old style with traditional materials - stone and wood. It has a private, south facing, swimming pool of 50sqm in front of the house just a few steps from the covered terrace and summer kitchen-BBQ so that pool area is easily overlooked from the house and garden. The villa is centrally placed in the big garden with a lot of greenery. The villa is built with large stone blocks and contains large open space in the ground floor and three double bedrooms on the first floor. All the rooms upstairs have the air-condition. The barbecue has a lot of place to prepare the dinner and it is placed close to an unique garden table made of a big stone plate with heavy iron chairs around.
Notes on accommodation:
The Villa Barbara has the ground floor with one open space with inside walls made of big stone blocks. It consists of the solid built kitchen, fully equipped and large massive wooden table to accommodate six people. On the opposite side there is a sofa and is close to the open fireplace which is made of massive stone blocks. Utility room and one toilet is found on the ground floor as well.
Wide stairs leads up to the first floor. 1sr floor has three bedrooms of ~12-15sqm. All bedrooms have the massive wooden beds, the small table, the chair and the mirror. All of them has air-condition. The master bedroom has en-suite shower room and others share the second shower room.
Car rental essential. Private parking secured inside the property.
Smoking is not permitted inside the house but only outdoor.
Outside:
Your family will enjoy 1000sq meters of the garden with cherry tree and two olive around the house. The Villa Barbara is suitable for children but one must be supervised around the pool area. Private swimming pool with ceramic tiles is 8m x 4m size with 1.2 -1.8m deep. It has automatic water cleaning system of the highest standard. Wooden sun beds are easy to move around the pool or even to shift on the grass. Large summer kitchen just a few steps from the house and pool. It has two fire places (BBQ) to prepare the grill or „peka“ and you will be provided with woods and coil to prepare your own meals. While you prepare the dinner your party can watch sitting on the stone bar chairs and enjoy the coctels in the covered summer kitchen. In front of the villa there is a covered terrace with table. Behind the house there is covered parking lot. The villa is walled, fenced, standalone and just 150m away from villagers so to feel comfortable and safe.
Utility room on the ground floor has washing machine, an iron and ironing board.
Bed linen, bath and pool towel sets are provided.
The pool is cleaned with the high standard and checked twice a week.
