Tucked away in the Istrian countryside, this dazzling villa is a perfect example of modern architecture. At first glance, your eyes can't help but be drawn to the glimmering pool – we can already picture ourselves floating the afternoon away in the crystal-clear water. When you're not swimming, catch some rays in the poolside lounge chairs, gather for alfresco meals on the shaded terrace or head inside to the solarium and enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub. After a refreshing cocktail on the balcony, sprawl out on the sumptuous sofa and enjoy a chilled night at home. The contemporary vibe oozes out of every nook and cranny – floor-to-ceiling glass windows flood the space with natural light, stylish en-suite bathrooms boast rainfall showers and sleek finishes, while the dark-grey kitchen is well-stocked for those itching to show off their culinary prowess. When you're ready to explore, hop in the car and head to the Istrian Peninsula. Poreč and Zelena Laguna are both an easy thirty-minute drive away – with a bevvy of waterfront eateries, lively cocktail bars and rocky beaches, you'll have plenty to keep you busy. Just a bit further, about thirty-five minutes by car, is Rovinj – it's home to artist workshops hidden along steep, narrow streets, a Venetian old town with plenty of fine-dining restaurants and tree-lined shingle coves known as Lone Bay.
