About this property
A spacious villa in an appealing location, Villa Tripimira is a place where up to eight guests can enjoy the delights of Croatia’s Istrian peninsula. Featuring fresh and elegant décor including stained glass windows and art from local artists, this eye-catching holiday home offers privacy and comfort.
Just outside the house, a private pool is joined by a large terrace area, featuring seating, sun loungers and a dining table and chairs. You also have a barbecue and summer kitchen, making this villa a great one for entertaining friends.
The style is timeless in the living room, directly accessible from the terrace, where you have a beautiful and tasteful seating area with large flatscreen TV and smart dining space. The kitchen is close to the dining table and is equipped with a fridge freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine and all the cookware you could need.
Similarly chic, the bedrooms are supremely styled, with one of the doubles located on the ground floor with a private bathroom and pool access. Upstairs, you have two more, each with a private bathroom, and one with access to the pool. Plush soft furnishings and decadent bathrooms make your nights and mornings all the more indulgent at Villa Tripimara.
A final double bedroom and bathroom are found in the villa’s extension, with a private entrance beside the pool – this one is an excellent choice if you are looking not to be disturbed for a while.
At only 1km from the beach, the villa is well-placed for exploring the coast of Istria, and the local restaurants and amenities of Vabriga and neighbouring Tar are easy to reach too. South of Vabriga, the popular resort of Poreč, home of the World Heritage Site Euphrasian Basilica, is less than 20 minutes’ drive away, and well worth a visit.
To the north, and even closer, Novigrad is a small town which punches above its weight when it comes to dining, with its many excellent seafood restaurants and regular gourmet food festivals among many good reasons to stop by.
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.
