Villa Sivka

With its idyllic location in the heart of Slovenian Istria, Villa Sivka offers up to five guests the chance to completely unwind and appreciate life’s simple pleasures in a stunning rural oasis. Situated in the peaceful village of Fijeroga, the two-bedroom hillside villa is a traditional Istrian house that has been lovingly renovated. Nestled amongst plenty of greenery, the villa offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and the sparkling Adriatic Sea beyond.

A morning dip in the villa’s large private pool is the perfect way to begin your day, with birdsong and the blue skies of Istria above you. There are sun loungers available should you wish to spend the day relaxing by the pool with a book, taking in the lush greens of the garden around you. The secluded garden benefits from shady trees, shrubbery, and the scent of lavender as the sun goes down in the evening. There is a play area for young children and a beautiful outside dining area covered by a pergola with a leafy canopy, the ideal spot for a memorable meal at home.

Entering the villa through the patio door, you will find yourself in an ample, open-plan living space featuring gorgeous tile flooring, rustic timber ceilings and exposed brickwork. The comfortable seating area and feature fireplace make this a true haven for a cosy night in with a glass of local wine beside a crackling fire. This space also features an elegant dining area overlooked by a light-filled window and a characterful stone archway leading into the traditional and well-appointed kitchen.

Upstairs, the villa continues to delight with its relaxed warmth and authentic finishes. High vaulted ceilings, bright white walls and the expansive views of the countryside and the sea on the horizon give both bedrooms an air of peace and tranquillity. The master bedroom features simple furnishings such as a wooden double bed, an ample wardrobe, a traditional dresser and a chair. The villa’s second bedroom has a double bed and a single bed, alongside another large wardrobe. Dual-aspect windows offer stunning natural light. The lovely bathroom, where you will find a shower and two separate washbasins, also benefits from the beautiful view.

Staying at Villa Sivka is a truly relaxing and rejuvenating experience, thanks to the warm Mediterranean breeze and the fresh air from the nearby mountains. The dazzling landscapes, blue waters and fairytale towns and villages of Slovenian Istria are sure to delight visitors time and time again.
