Villa Panerai

About this property

Villa Panerai is a stylish three-bedroom property located in the heart of western Istria, under twenty kilometres away from the lively seaside town of Poreč. Featuring a sun-drenched terrace and a private swimming pool, the villa offers the perfect blend of modern luxury and traditional Croatian charm, making it the ideal haven for up to eight guests. With idyllic green Istria on your doorstep and a treasure trove of coastal gems within easy reach, Villa Panerai is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat with your loved ones whilst soaking up the warm Croatian sunshine.

The villa’s exterior reflects the architectural beauty of the region, with its warm stone façade and inviting Mediterranean colours. Azure skies will draw you outside to the villa’s peaceful terrace each morning, where you can begin your day with a refreshing dip in the private swimming pool before sipping a cup of freshly brewed coffee and unwinding on a poolside sun lounger. The verdant garden is great for family fun and games, while an outdoor shower lets you cool off whenever you take a break from the sun. Later on, the covered outdoor dining area by the summer kitchen is the ideal place to gather everyone together for a delicious barbecue at sunset. Afterwards, you can feel the day’s adventures melt away as you relax by the warm glow of the traditional Dalmatian grill and watch the stars appear.

Step inside Villa Panerai and you will be greeted by an interior that seamlessly combines contemporary comfort with rustic elegance. The open-plan living space features a cosy and inviting lounge area, perfect for laidback evenings spent indoors. Meanwhile, the fully equipped kitchen beckons aspiring chefs to create culinary masterpieces using fresh local produce, and the dining area provides a charming setting for sharing family feasts with loved ones.

Villa Panerai boasts three delightful double bedrooms, each of which offers relaxed, understated décor and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Two of the double bedrooms also feature modern en-suite bathrooms, while a third bathroom is ideal for a family to share. Each of Villa Panerai’s first-floor bedrooms provides direct access to a balcony with outdoor seating, the ideal spot for a leisurely breakfast in the morning sunshine or a romantic glass of wine under the stars. Air conditioning ensures that your nights are as restful as your days are relaxing.

Villa Panerai offers a dreamlike holiday setting with modern facilities and an enchanting location, only a fifteen-minute drive away from the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.

Situated in the rural area of Mofardini, Villa Panerai offers guests a peaceful location under twenty kilometres away from the vibrant centre of the seaside town of Poreč. The surrounding countryside offers visitors an authentic slice of Istrian life, with local restaurants and bars offering traditional dishes from the region. Nearby hiking trails will enchant nature lovers, offering plenty of scenic spots for sunny afternoon picnics. For those who fancy a swim in the ocean, the beaches of Poreč are only a short drive away.

With a fascinating history dating back to Roman times, the Poreč of today is a bustling town with picturesque cobblestone streets, impressive historical landmarks and a lively atmosphere! Spend a sunny afternoon wandering through the old town, perched on a tiny peninsula and surrounded by stunning views of the turquoise Adriatic Sea. Here, history lovers will be captivated by a visit to the Euphrasian Basilica, the town’s most significant cultural monument and a unesco World Heritage site.

The Zuccato Palace is a Gothic palace with a beautifully preserved façade, which today houses a small gallery. The palace is located on Decumanus Street, a famous street that provides an authentic glimpse into Istria’s colourful past thanks to its many historic sites. Decumanus Street is a popular shopping area today, with plenty of independent boutiques and gift shops that sit alongside cute local cafes and traditional restaurants.

Roughly a half-hour drive away from Villa Panerai, the Baredine Cave offers something a little different for adventure-seeking visitors! Take an underground tour of this unique cave system some sixty metres below the ground, where you will witness stalactites, stalagmites and mesmerising underground lakes. Don’t forget to wear comfortable footwear and warm clothing before descending underground, where friendly and experienced guides will provide fascinating cave tours and an in-depth look at the history of this unique part of Istria.
