Villa Zimzelen is a charming, beautifully finished villa perfect for a group of friends or two families wanting to take a holiday together but maybe wanting some private space too. This exceptional renovation offers a magical blend of old and new. The villa is located in the gorgeous village of Merisce in Istria, close to its renowned golf course, famous wine cellars, the Dragonja River and the border with Slovenia. It is a beautiful rural location where guests can use the six high-quality MTB bicycles provided to explore. The famous Kozlovik Winery is very close to the villa, where guests can enjoy tours and tastings and learn about this family wine story from 1904. Istria is a wonderful destination with some lovely seaside towns to discover, including Rovinj, Novigrad and Porec, as well as hilltop beauties.
Villa Zimzelen offers spectacular holiday accommodation with four luxurious bedrooms, gorgeous outside space, wellness treats including a sauna and jacuzzi and a wonderful array of living spaces, dining area and kitchens. You can eat with a different ambience night after night!
The villa has been stylishly decorated, using atmospheric nods from the past and blending them perfectly with contemporary trends. The result is stunning. The views from many of the rooms and the outdoor terraces are sublime. You will certainly be taking lots of photographs! Surrounding this dreamy property are beautiful gardens with walls built around ancient olive trees, a fabulous swimming pool and terrace, an alfresco lounge and dining area with a modern canopy, an alternative alfresco dining area and lots of little nooks and crannies to disappear for a quiet read. Beautiful, contemporary outdoor furniture completes the picture, and if the interior of this exquisite villa weren’t so utterly charming, you probably wouldn’t want to be inside much at all! Even as you drive to Villa Zimzelen, you will be enjoying the magical vistas from its hillside position.
There are so many unique rooms in the villa to enjoy. One of the dining areas enjoys stunning arched windows, all framing spectacular countryside views. The honey colour stone walls, beamed ceilings and open fireplace are blended with contemporary dining furniture. You will find another traditional dining area and kitchen with sunflower yellow walls, exposed stone and another open fire. Another dining space is ultra-modern with breakfast bar dining and doors opening to a wonderful garden vista. You will also find a variety of traditional lounge spaces with huge open fireplaces and other trendy ones. This villa is unique, and you are spoilt for a choice of relaxation spots.
Like the living areas, the bedroom suites also differ in theme and style. You have a floaty romantic room, a traditional one with rich dark wooden furniture, a warm and welcoming one with a wrought iron bed, floral armchairs, and an ultra-modern one that looks like a spa relaxation room. The wellness spa is heavenly, with a gorgeous jacuzzi and a fabulous sauna.
Villa Zimzelen is different from probably anywhere you have stayed before. It is luxurious, exciting and offers the most incredible views.
