About this property
Ideally situated in the hamlet of Kacana, just four kilometres away from the picturesque town centre of Vodnjan, Villa Gigi is a contemporary three-bedroom property featuring a sun-drenched terrace, a private swimming pool and a sauna. With the lively Istrian capital of Pula only fifteen kilometres from the villa and the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea less than a twenty-minute drive away, Villa Gigi is the perfect place to soak up the warm Croatian sunshine whilst enjoying a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat with your loved ones.
Begin each day on the villa’s peaceful terrace, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, which includes hydromassage and counterflow features, or simply unwind on a poolside sun lounger with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a good book. The terrace offers plenty of space for an afternoon of family fun and games in the sunshine, while an outdoor shower lets you cool off whenever you fancy taking a break from the sun. The pool area also features a convenient WC. Later on, gather everyone together for a delicious barbecue at the covered dining area, the ideal spot for a glass of Istrian wine at sunset.
Upon entering the villa from the terrace, guests will find an elegant living space with an open-plan layout featuring a stylish lounge area, a comfortable corner sofa, and a flat-screen TV. Everyone can come together to discuss the day’s adventures over a homecooked feast in Villa Gigi’s charming dining area, which flows seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen with a range of modern appliances. The ground floor also boasts a welcoming double bedroom with a flat-screen TV and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. A separate WC is also located on the ground floor. The villa also offers guests a luxurious wellness area with a shower, a jacuzzi-style bath and a Finnish sauna, where you can feel the day’s adventures melt away.
Villa Gigi’s first floor offers two more double bedrooms, each boasting relaxed, understated décor and a cool and restful ambience. Both bedrooms feature a flat-screen TV, a well-appointed en-suite bathroom with a shower, and direct access to a balcony with outdoor seating, ideal for a leisurely breakfast in the morning sunshine or a romantic glass of wine under the stars. Each of the villa’s three bedrooms is fully air-conditioned, ensuring that your nights are as restful as your days are relaxing.
With a host of modern facilities to enjoy, guests at Villa Gigi will be delighted by their holiday setting in Vodnjan, where a treasure trove of Istrian beaches and coastal towns lies just a short drive away.
Villa Gigi is situated just four kilometres away from the centre of Vodnjan, a picturesque town that perfectly encapsulates the rustic and romantic charm of Croatian Istria. With narrow cobblestone streets, beautiful architecture and a rich cultural heritage, Vodnjan offers an authentic glimpse into the laidback Istrian way of life. Meanwhile, nearby Pula is the region’s stunning capital, famous for its coastal gems and vibrant marketplaces.
In Istria, the irresistible Adriatic coastline inevitably beckons. From Villa Gigi, the white pebble shores and crystal-clear waters of Peroj Beach are roughly fifteen minutes away by car. The beaches of nearby Barbariga are rugged and remote, while a long and sunny promenade stretches from Peroj to lively Fažana, where there are plenty of convenient amenities such as beach bars and cafes, as well as local businesses offering water sports facilities, including snorkelling gear and sea kayaks. For an exciting day trip across the water, the untouched natural beauty of Brijuni National Park is just a short boat journey away from the Fažana fishing port. Here, visitors can enjoy the fresh island air whilst playing a round of golf or taking to the sea to enjoy kayaking and scuba-diving adventures.
The charming town of Rovinj is a coastal gem on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula, just a half-hour drive away from Vodnjan. A seaside town with a labyrinth of narrow streets and colourful architecture, here you can relax by the turquoise waters of Lone Bay Beach or enjoy a variety of watersports on Mulini Beach. Later, wander through the enchanting old town before making your way to the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia, where you can take in panoramic views of the ocean and the cluster of tiny islands surrounding Rovinj.
History buffs and those searching for a little more hustle and bustle will feel drawn to Pula, Istria’s largest city, located in a valley surrounded by seven green hills. Boasting spectacular views of the shimmering Adriatic Sea and the incredible Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre that dates back as far as 27 BC, the city is also home to lively summer festivals and local markets, beautiful beaches and traditional taverns showcasing some of the region’s finest cuisine.
Roughly a forty-minute drive from Vodnjan, Cape Kamenjak is a gorgeous nature reserve and park situated at the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula. With dramatic landscapes and a coastline of hidden coves and caves to explore, this is the perfect place to spend the day immersing yourself in nature. Later on, head home to Villa Gigi in time for a visit to the sauna and a sunset glass of Istrian wine on the terrace before a night spent relaxing under the stars.
