About this property
Villa Korra is an idyllic five-bedroom family-friendly retreat for ten, located in the tropical Croatian peninsula of Istria. Nestled in the seaside village of Liznjan, it offers panoramic views of the ocean and Balkan landscapes, making it a dream destination for nature lovers and history buffs. Outdoor activities like horseback riding, kitesurfing, sailing and kayaking will keep you hooked for days.
The villa welcomes you with a sprawling deck which gives off a beachy, modern feel. A large 4x7m swimming pool is surrounded by relaxing sunbeds and parasols. A summer kitchen allows you to enjoy the warm weather to the fullest. Light up the gas BBQ and settle down at the al-fresco dining table for cosy meals throughout the day.
Located on the ground floor, the living room is bright and roomy. Take in the soothing turquoise decor, offset by metallic accents and wooden flooring. Plump, vibrant couches and a sleek coffee table make for the perfect spot to unwind before the TV. Large French windows allow abundant sunlight. The adjoining indoor dining table is ideal for delightful family meals.
Impress with your culinary skills in the spacious, fully-equipped kitchen — also located on the ground floor. Furnished with glossy wooden countertops and modern cabinetry, it comes with an oven, microwave, large fridge, freezer, dishwasher and kettle.
All five bedrooms are airy and minimalistic, with plenty of natural light flowing in. Each comfortably sleeps two guests and offers clean, en-suite bathrooms along with terraces. While four of the rooms are furnished with double beds, one has twin beds. All the bedrooms are fully air-conditioned and well-equipped.
The villa has free Wi-Fi for those working remotely. Baby cots and high chairs are also provided.
Teeming with eateries and scenic points, the villa’s location is ideal. It’s even surrounded by other holiday homes, so you’ll never feel isolated. The neighbourhood is delightful, offering a rich mix of activities and marvellous walks. A magnificent 17th Century church and sea-facing bike trails are at striking distance.
Blessed with fragrant meadows, majestic landscapes and vibrant marine life, the village of Liznjan feels like a slice of heaven. Go diving and witness the ruins of a sunken Italian warship named Cesare Rossaro. You can also explore mysterious underwater caves, colourful sponges, and sprawling beds of the unique Posidonia seagrass.
Go on kayaking adventures by yourself or as part of guided tours to the coast of Marlera and island of Levan. You can enjoy scenic coves, untouched beaches and a bounty of flora and fauna. Head to the bay of Kuje for thrilling, but safe windsurfing experiences.
The villa is at a close distance from Pula, the largest city in Istria county. Famous for its Roman architecture, you can’t miss Pula Arena, the 6th biggest amphitheatre in the world. It used to host brutal gladiatorial fights during the Roman Empire, but is now home to popular concerts and outdoor cinemas.
Discover dinosaur footprints in Brijuni National Park, explore underground tunnel systems from World War II at Zerostrasse, and witness the splendour of the Pula Cathedral built in 5th Century AD.
Pula has no dearth of wining and dining options. Built in 1903, the Pula Market Hall is a two-storey treasure trove of locally-harvested vegetables, cheese and fish. Bite into a delicious burek, a savoury pastry, at one of the many pop-up bakeries in the market. Go truffle hunting in the forests of Istria, or spend a leisurely afternoon at Cvajner, a popular coffee and crafts beer joint.
