Wake to the sound of the birds in the trees when you holiday at Villa Sarai, surrounded by nature in the heart of the countryside, just over ten kilometres from Croatia’s Adriatic coast. This classic one-storey, detached Istrian villa has four double bedrooms, which can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests, ideal for a large family holiday or a friends’ get-together. The villa is set in extensive grounds and gardens, populated with tall, mature trees for privacy and shade, lush green lawns, and a centrepiece private swimming pool with a separate Jacuzzi. The property has all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi, cable channel televisions, and secure parking. The exterior is constructed of traditional terracotta-washed walls and a tiled roof, whilst the interiors are cool and comfortable, furnished with contemporary pieces, and decorated in natural earth tones.
The open-plan living space is home to an L-shaped sofa that can convert into a bed for two, coffee tables, a flat-screen television, and an enclosed wood-burning fire for those cooler months and evenings. The smart dining set is perfect for some indoor entertaining, with a selection of wines from Istria. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest appliances that you will need to cater for your holiday, including that must-have morning coffee maker. A guest cloakroom completes the living accommodation. Villa Sarai has four well-appointed double bedrooms, two of which have king-size beds and two with double beds. Three bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers, hand basins, and WCs, and a separate shared bathroom for the other guests.
Step outside to the gorgeous grounds and gardens, where a tiled terrace boasts a step-entry swimming pool surrounded by relaxing sun loungers and shady parasols. Take a walk in the well-maintained gardens, play on the tree swings and trampoline, sit under a tall tree, and catch up with this year’s best seller. Have fun in the five-seater Jacuzzi and enjoy a glass of bubbles in the bubbles. Meet for sunset cocktails at the soft seating set before dining alfresco, with dishes prepared in the summer kitchen and local delicacies freshly grilled on the barbecue.

Location:
Villa Sarai is set in the heart of the countryside, in the tiny village of Brnjci, just over ten kilometres from the Croatian Adriatic coast. The villa is a scenic forty-five-kilometre drive from the nearest international airport at Pula. The nearest minimarts and restaurants are two kilometres away, where you can stock up on provisions and enjoy some traditional local dishes.
The Istrian coastline is populated with stunning sandy beaches, where you can swim in crystal clear waters, snorkel, scuba dive, and enjoy a thrilling selection of watersports. Nature’s beauty is on your doorstep, with hiking and cycling trails, well-known walks, and rock climbing opportunities, especially through the nearby Ucka National Park.
Istria is famous for its wineries, take a tour around a vineyard and sample the fruits of its harvest. Spend the day in the town of Rabac, with its beautiful beaches, where you can try your hand at kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, a game of tennis, or horse riding across the dunes. From there, take a boat trip to the island of Cres, where you can discover the beauty of the Blue Cave.
Visit the original Roman town of Labin, enter through the city gates, walk its old streets, and admire the art galleries. Go further afield to the resort of Pula, a seafront city with a protected harbour and ancient ruins, where you can eat freshly caught seafood by the seashore. Spend the day at the holiday hot spots of Opatija or Rovinj.
