Perched on a hill in the Istrian countryside and commanding spectacular valley views, Villa Bottega is an elegantly sprawling 6-bedroom estate comfortably accommodating up to ten adults and two children. This stunning retreat nestled in the picturesque Croatian countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, is an enchanting escape for family and friends.

Upon entering the villa, guests are welcomed by a sweeping staircase and expansive living room adorned with plush furnishings, multiple dining areas and flooded with natural light coming in from panoramic windows. Adjacent to the living area, you’ll find a tastefully designed open kitchen with all the amenities to whip up a Mediterranean salad or a holiday feast for family and friends.

A children’s room featuring three single beds can also be found on the ground floor, complete with its own en suite bathroom. Throughout the rest of the villa are six double bedrooms, each with their own en suite to ensure no guest goes without a taste of true privacy and opulence. These beautifully appointed bathrooms come with all the necessary amenities for a spa-like experience to match the comfort and relaxation of your room.

Stepping out of doors, guests are treated to a lavish wrap-around terrace offering beautiful seating and dining areas. Buffeted by lush gardens bright with flowers, no matter where you perch on the terrace, you’ll find the serenity of a subtle spot or the scenic extravagance of valley views elapsing over vineyards and olive groves.

From the terrace, follow the winding path down to the sizable garden house and swimming pool, with deck chairs, a lounge area, al fresco dining furniture, a summer kitchen and a barbecue. Work up a sweat in the villa’s private fitness centre or putting on the minigolf course before diving into the cool, turquoise pool.
