About this property
This exquisite villa is Croatia’s Istria region is ideal for a group of up to eight guests. In the village of Vabriga, you are 1km from the beach, and Villa Terezija’s great pool and terrace are the perfect places to soak up some sun back at base.
The centrepiece of the interior is the lobby area with its imposing marble staircase, stained glass Romanesque windows and luxurious chandelier lighting. Also on the ground floor is the main living room with an impressive seating area, flatscreen TV and direct access to the terrace.
A fully equipped kitchen complements a large dining area with dishwasher, coffee machine and all the other appliances you could need. Outside, you have another kitchen area and barbecue to get some al fresco dining going, plus another dining table and chairs. An array of covered and uncovered seating areas can be found on the terrace, steps away from your private pool.
A double bedroom with private bathroom is found on the ground floor, with a further two en-suite bedrooms on the upper level. One of these has direct access to the large balcony which overlooks the pool.
Ideal for anyone seeking some extra privacy, the fourth bedroom is located in the extension to the house and has its entrance, as well as a bathroom of its own which, like all the others, is equipped with towels and luxury toiletries from L’Occitane.
Fully air-conditioned and with central heating and free Wi-Fi, Villa Terezija offers you a supremely comfortable stay, all within 1km of local amenities. Vabriga and nearby Tar and Lanterna have plenty to discover whether you seek history, countryside, beach life or great food and drink, all of which you’ll find in abundance throughout the Istrian peninsula.
Vabriga is around 15 minutes’ drive from Poreč, with Rovinj and Pula within 45-60 minutes, so it’s convenient for excursions to larger cities too.
The village of Vabriga forms part of Tar-Vabriga county on the western side of Croatia’s Istrian peninsula. This naturally beautiful area is perfect as a travel destination with its Adriatic coastline and reliably warm temperatures.
It is these which make it ideal for olive oil production, with the olive oil of Tar-Vabriga considered by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation to be the best in Europe.
This historically rich region is full of old churches and archaeological sites. The church of St Martin in Tar is nowadays known as the location of classical music concerts during the summer. An annual treat since 1998, these free concerts attract high-calibre musicians from Croatia and elsewhere, and are justifiably popular with visitors.
Numerous restaurants in Vabriga, Tar and the coastal area of Lanterna introduce the fine Istrian cuisine – lookout for a variety of fish and seafood dishes, truffles and asparagus on the menus. Much like the olive oil, the area’s wine is top-notch too, with wine-making an essential part of Istria’s culture – in short, don’t miss out on a glass or two.
Around 12km south lies the town of Poreč, which attracts many visitors to its Roman Old Town. You’ll find the remains of temples and fortification walls, and – most significantly – the Episcopal complex of Euphrasian Basilica, a unesco World Heritage Site.
Poreč is also known as a great cycling destination, and its central location makes it a good base for further exploration of the region. Rovinj lies around 30km to the south, and it’s not much more than an hour from Italy, with a beautiful slice of Slovenia even closer.
