Villa With Pool in stunning country, only 20 Mins to the Sea, free wi fi | Villa in Rakotule
7 Bedroom Villa in Rakotule
Large stone house in a tranquil village with spectacular views. The peninsular of Istria is a gem on the scale of Cornwall but with a Mediterranean climate. Set among vineyards and Olive groves in central Istria the house has views across open country with the church spires of other villages dotting the landscape. Sitting in the middle of its own grounds the completely restored south facing house has gardens with shady walnuts, figs and vines surrounding the 12 metre, heated, overflowing pool with summer house and sunbathing terraces. Local restaurants serve Istrian truffles with steak or fusilli, farm dried hams, sheeps cheese, wild boar with pasta, raw fish and beef carpaccio as well as sea food caught daily and fantastic local wines. You can spend the morning by the pool and drive to the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic for the afternoon. On the way home it is worth making a diversion to the restaurants of Oprtalj, Motovun or Groznjan.
Coast/Beach:
Istria has a beautiful coastline all around and it is all within an hours drive. Porec the nearest port and marina is a 20 minute drive with beautiful clean beaches. Our favourite is Zelena Laguna [Green Lagoon]. It has pine trees which come almost to the waters edge with grass for sunbathing in between. The water is crystal clear and there are numerous fresh fish restaurants, a marina and coffee bars within walking distance. Also, waterskiing, sailing, pedalos and boat trips to the islands.
