Location
About the surrounding area of Villa RijekaGetaway to a seaside retreat, where Continental Croatia meets the Adriatic - that’s what is on offer when you visit Istria. A heart-shaped, 3600-square kilometre peninsula is in the country’s northwest, and it offers rolling hills, rich culture, renowned cuisine and plenty of spots to explore.
It’s an incredibly popular holiday destination, always topping many lists of must-visit places in Croatia. This area differs from some other regions of Croatia due to its strong Italian influence that can be felt in the region, which is because Istria used to be part of Italy during the early 20th century.
This villa is located 3000m from Žminj in Central Istria. This area is known as the heart of Istria, and as you explore the labyrinth of narrow streets, you can get lost in the stunning scenery and history that surrounds this place.
There is something to see everywhere you turn, from the medieval castles on the hills to the forests of truffles to the vineyards and fascinating landscape. This area boasts beautiful natural resources, all of which make for stunning feasts as you venture back to the villa. There are many towns nearby, including Hum - the smallest city in the world.

Region
This heart-shaped peninsula was the birthplace of modern Croatian tourism, and it’s easy to see why. Its history has bestowed it with Italian sophistication, most obviously seen in pastel-painted coastal towns, like romantic Rovinj. But, tear yourself away from the Istrian coast, through the vineyards, olive groves, and dense forests, and you will discover brilliantly preserved medieval towns and villages, where cobbled streets reveal quaint galleries, sweet squares and sea-views.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis is the perfect villa for families travelling with small children as there is not only a pool that will keep them entertained from dusk till dawn, but there is also a playground in the garden that is both safe and fun for young children.
The can run around the backyard, jump on the tramp and swing on the swingset - all while the parents sit and relax from the comfort of one of the many outdoor seats.
Inside, the villa is equally as welcoming and ideal for families. With many rooms, the children can have their own space to explore and rest their heads, taking over their areas. The villa is also equipped with amenities that make travelling with children less stressful, such as bathtubs, a washing machine and a dishwasher - small home touches that make a huge difference.
The nearest beach, Beach Colone, is also family friendly and offers restaurants, change rooms, beach chairs and umbrellas. This pebble beach is safe for children of all ages and provides plenty of shade if that is what you are after.
There is also a nearby children’s park, beach volleyball, paddle boarding and paddle boats - something for children (and big kids at heart).
