Villa Jewel SOL-28508

If you’re wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle, this charming Croatian retreat should be on the top of your list. The best part? It has to be the glorious grounds. The secluded brick patio terrace is engulfed by lush gardens, with the main feature being the generously sized swimming pool inviting you to dive straight in. Flanked with a line of plush sun loungers, it’s perfect for unwinding in the sunshine after a refreshing afternoon dip. The alfresco dining area is the picturesque setting for dinner, where you can grill up a feast on the barbecue and all tuck in whilst watching the sun slowly set. Located within the sprawling Istrian countryside in the sleepy village of Vabriga, soak up the local life and immerse yourself in the easy-going way of life. The perfect location for the beach, as a beautiful rocky coastline is just a short twenty-minute scenic walk through the rural landscape. If you’re looking for a daytrip etched in history, head to the seafront city of Pula, renowned for its vibrant harbour, gorgeous beaches, first-class gastronomy and crumbling Roman ruins.

The living spaces are stretched out in an open-plan design and exude elegance, with chandeliers, modern furnishings and a rich colour tone. Starting off with a trendy lounge, with a TV nestled within a bookshelf stand overlooking two plush sofas invite you to kick off your shoes in blissful comfort. At the other end of the room is the large contemporary kitchen, decorated in pastel tones with a range of high-end appliances. The dining table sits alongside, with its soft fabric chairs and rich wooden table inviting for intimate family meals. A majestic stone staircase leads you up to the first-floor, where three fabulous ensuite bedrooms await. With huge comfy beds overflowing with plush cushions and even a walk-in wardrobe, it’s oozing comfort and opulence. There is a fourth bedroom on the ground floor, with a refreshing freestanding bathtub adjoined.
