Bright and modern, we fell in love with the grey and yellow colour palette of this beautiful Istrian home. Complimented by warm wooden elements, plenty of soft lighting, and velvet textures, it feels as though every detail was carefully curated to make you feel at home.

Outside is even more to adore – everything from the egg chairs to the sun loungers is in place to make you relax as you sit back with a good book and an even better glass of wine. Meals can be enjoyed alfresco at the dining table, but not before a few laps in the swimming pool.

With a private balcony, the early birds might want to claim the master suite so that they’re able to slip out whilst everyone is still sleeping. Admire the green panorama after meditation and before heading into the sleek kitchen to start breakfast preparations.

Spend days exploring the coast or venture into the historic town of Poreč to see the famous gem-studded Byzantine mosaics before finding a restaurant where you can enjoy lunch.
