Built in 1757, this charming old farmhouse blends right in with its bucolic surroundings on the Istrian peninsula. Sitting in a hamlet, there are a couple of local restaurants within walking distance and the coastal towns of Vrsar and Poreč are a short drive away. Long, lazy lunches can be enjoyed by the poolside, thanks to a wood-fired stone grill and a porticoed terrace. It’s split between two separate villas, so the group can spread out between rustic-styled living rooms with farmhouse kitchens and bedrooms embracing the old world.

Home truths:
*While the bathrooms and one of the bedrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
*This place is split across two separate villas which are not connected internally
*In a remote location, having a car is recommended and there is plenty of private parking
*The swimming pool isn't fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
