Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LivijaVilla Livija is the perfect escape for you and your family. The nearest town to the villa is only a three-minute drive, and it offers restaurants, cafes, and bars for the whole family to enjoy. Rabac is a seaside town less than six kilometres away, with several beaches, tennis courts, restaurants and shops.
Take a day trip and hop on a ferry to Cres, an island filled with secluded bays and coves. The rocky coast encircles the island, while ancient forests help to fill the land. Heavily influenced by the Venetians, Cres town is the main point of civilisation. Many say it mimics an Italian town, which you can see for yourself as you wander through the quaint streets, absorbing the years of history. Delve deeper and explore the clear waters surrounding the island with snorkelling.

Region
Nestled along Croatia’s enchanting Adriatic coastline, Istria welcomes visitors with open arms and a rich tapestry of experiences waiting to be unraveled. Whether you're seeking adventure in nature, indulgence in culinary delights, a glimpse into history and culture, or simply a warm and inviting atmosphere, the peninsula of Istria has it all.
Istria's diverse and unspoiled landscapes will be the first thing to capture your attention! The region is renowned for its lush green hills, rolling vineyards, and enchanting coastline: the stunning scenery is a playground for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and beachgoers alike.
Offering a remarkable 445 kilometres of pristine coastline, including tranquil coves and sandy beaches, visitors can find plenty of secluded spots to soak up the sun. The clear, azure waters of the Adriatic are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy an active day of water sports.
Venture inland and you'll discover picturesque villages set amidst rolling hills and verdant forests. Istria is home to over 30 nature reserves - an absolute haven for hikers and cyclists, with an abundance of well-marked trails to explore. The Učka Nature Park, in particular, stands out as a hiking and nature lover's paradise, offering waterfalls, historic villages, and breathtaking panoramic views of Istria's outstanding scenery.
Istria's rich history is woven into the fabric of its towns and cities. An ever popular choice for tourists is the impressive port city of Pula, full of quaint town squares and local restaurants, and home to one of the most well-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. This ancient arena, known as the Pula Arena, is a testament to Istria's Roman heritage and hosts numerous events, including concerts and film festivals.
The medieval towns of Rovinj and Motovun enchant visitors with their cobbled streets and historic charm. The Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning example of early Christian art and architecture.
Istria's culinary scene is a treat for the taste buds: the region is famous for its truffles, particularly the elusive white truffle, and you can savour dishes infused with this prized delicacy in charming local restaurants across the region. Wine and olive oil lovers will find joy in Istria's vineyards and olive groves, offering tastings and insights into traditional production methods. Fresh seafood, often served with a Mediterranean twist, is a staple that you can enjoy at quaint waterfront eateries along the coastline.
One of the most enduring memories visitors take away from Istria is the warmth of its people. The locals are known for their friendly, welcoming nature and their willingness to share their traditions and stories with tourists. You'll find yourself immersed in the local way of life, whether you're exploring ancient towns or enjoying a meal in a family-run tavern.
Istria is easily accessible, with Pula Airport serving as a major gateway. Once you arrive, navigating the region is a breeze with well-maintained roads connecting major towns and villages. Language barriers are minimal, thanks to the widespread use of English, Italian, and German, alongside the local Croatian language.
Istria’s unique blend of pristine landscapes, rich traditions, and warm-hearted locals creates an experience that will linger in your memories long after you've returned home.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesIf it is quality time spent together as a family you’re after, then Villa Livija is perfect for you. Children will love the private pool to make a splash in. Parents with smaller children should be cautious, however, as there are no barriers between the property and the pool so keep an eye on if their little feet take them too close to the pool unsupervised.
The ground-floor living area is designed to bring everyone together. Enjoy meal times around a choice of two dining tables inside and outside, trading stories of the day’s events and hear the excitement in their voices about what the next day will bring. With all bedrooms under one roof- it is easy to keep an eye on everyone.
Kids will also love exploring the coast of Croatia; discovering hidden coves, learning about a country’s culture and history and spending quality time with their family. For those with more adventurous families, there are loads of water sports activities for you all to get involved in. However, some may have age restrictions so it is recommended you look ahead to avoid disappointments.
