Casa Bella

About this property

In the heart of Istria's countryside, Casa Bella combines traditional architecture with contemporary comforts, creating an easy-going holiday home for families and friends. Built from local stone and surrounded by private gardens, the villa embraces the character of the region while providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Outdoor living takes centre stage here. The circular swimming pool is ideal for cooling off on warm summer days, while sun loungers, a shaded pergola and comfortable seating areas encourage guests to spend long hours outside. A covered dining terrace sits alongside the villa, making al fresco meals a natural part of daily life, whether you're enjoying a leisurely breakfast or gathering together for dinner after a day of sightseeing.

Inside, exposed timber beams, terracotta floors and generous ceiling heights create bright, airy living spaces. The lounge, dining room and well-equipped kitchen flow easily between one another, with a central island providing a sociable hub for cooking and conversation. Carefully chosen furnishings and decorative details add warmth throughout the home.

All three double bedrooms are located on the first floor and benefit from their own en-suite bathroom. Air conditioning, family-friendly facilities and enclosed grounds add further convenience, making Casa Bella a comfortable choice for those looking to experience the food, culture and landscapes of Croatia's most visited region.

Casa Bella enjoys a peaceful setting in the heart of Istria, one of Croatia's most celebrated regions, known for its hilltop villages, excellent cuisine and varied landscapes. Nearby Tinjan is a small rural community where traditional stone houses, local taverns and winding lanes offer a glimpse into everyday life in inland Istria. Essential amenities can be found within a short drive, while the Adriatic coast is easily reached for days by the sea.

The historic town of Poreč lies on Istria's western shoreline and is one of the region's most popular destinations. Alongside waterfront restaurants, lively cafés and independent shops, the town is home to the unesco-listed Euphrasian Basilica, renowned for its remarkable Byzantine mosaics dating back to the 6th century. Its atmospheric old town rewards leisurely exploration, with centuries of history woven into its narrow streets.

For those keen to experience Istria's natural beauty, Učka Nature Park offers a network of walking trails, dramatic viewpoints and diverse landscapes stretching towards the Kvarner Gulf. Cycling routes, guided excursions and outdoor activities are also available throughout the region, providing plenty of opportunities to explore beyond the coastline.

Further south, Pula showcases Croatia's Roman heritage through landmarks such as the remarkably preserved amphitheatre, the Temple of Augustus and the ancient forum. The city's bustling streets, markets and waterfront make it an enjoyable destination for a day trip.

The Istrian coast offers something for every age group, from boat trips and kayaking excursions to snorkelling and scuba diving in the clear Adriatic waters. Ferries also connect the mainland to nearby islands, including Cres, where quiet coves, walking trails and historic settlements provide an appealing change of pace from the mainland.
