Villa Maeva

Being newly renovated, villa Maeva has a rustic charm with all the modern comforts. Guests are immediately welcomed into the villa with an open-plan living, dining and a fully equipped kitchen. Historic details are everywhere you turn in this main living room as although it is recently refurbished, they took great care in resorting the heritage and character of the region in the details. The lounge is centred by an impressive marble fireplace with a large flat-screen TV above.

A rustic wooden dining table centres the family space. Surrounded by ten chairs with comfortable cushions warming the metal frames the dining table has wicker baskets acting as lamps hanging above the table. The kitchen has all modern luxuries including a blender, coffee maker dishwasher and microwave plus an island and breakfast bar in the centre.

Centred in the middle of the space is a traditional stone wishing well with ornate iron sculpting above. Cosy corners fill the room and underneath the staircases, creating secluded areas to enjoy a quiet moment while honouring the historic value of the villa in the décor. Two comfortable bedrooms are on the ground floor, both with access to the main living area. Both have ensuite bathrooms and plenty of storage to make yourself at home in. The rustic charm of the villa flows throughout; a passageway blocked on two ends with intricate iron gates shows off the stone walls and an old unit with many small draws. A rustic red rug lies on the stone floor leading to a wine cellar.

Back in the main family space, two sets of steel, modern staircases lead up to the first floor symmetrically. Walking up these stairs you find four bedrooms with adjoining ensuites. Towels and linens are provided in all bedrooms and Wi-Fi circulate the entire villa. All bedrooms have a sofa that can convert into a single bed, allowing six more guests to stay in the villa, making the total up to twenty.

Venturing outside the property to the garden, you find greenery which blends into the rural setting of the villa as well as numerous outbuildings and outdoor social areas. Towards the back of the property lies a spacious patio and large outdoor pool. Comfortable outdoor furniture including sun loungers, sofas and hanging egg chairs scattered under a pergola provides plenty of options to enjoy the Croatian sunshine. Wide folding doors lead from the patio to a separate summer kitchen and alfresco dining area complete with a pizza oven and grill. Baskets hang above the table in the main villa, making the space feel authentic and homey. You will love gathering together in the evenings, feasting on homemade pizza while watching the sunset or taking a dip beneath the stars in the pool.

Another small outbuilding provides a private escape for two guests. Here is a bedroom, kitchenette, lounge and dining area plus an ensuite. Only a few steps from the main villa, it is still a part of the community but provides a more intimate setting for those who need it.

But that is not all. A third outbuilding referred to as the ‘leisure house’ is a great addition to what this villa has to offer. For you to enjoy at your leisure it has a pool table, table tennis, table football, darts, PlayStation 5 and board games. There is also a fully-equipped fitness studio and spa area including a sauna and massage room; you can leave the kids with the table tennis as you relax upstairs. Or if you wanted to explore the beautiful Istrian countryside surrounding you, the villa has four mountain bikes for you to explore the many trails and routes from the villa.
