Located in unspoiled southern Istria yet close to beautiful beaches and villages, Casa Jarilo is a rather remarkable contemporary paradise in peaceful surroundings.
Built in 2018 on a plot measuring 10,000 square metres, this modern villa offers luxurious and stylish holiday accommodation, ideal for a large family holiday or reunion with friends. Each of the five sumptuous bedrooms has a beautiful en-suite bathroom, allowing guests privacy, yet the open-plan aspect of the ground-floor lounge and dining space is perfect for convivial living.
The villa is modern, with smart glass technology in some bathrooms, a Smart Android television and top-of-the-range kitchen appliances. However, the owners have taken great care to ensure only natural materials were used when possible with local stone, combed oak, high-end Italian tiles, the very best linen and fine furnishings throughout.
The list of activities for all ages is endless, with a sauna, gym, and billiard room inside, whilst outside, you’ll discover the heated pool, playground, mini-golf course and multi-purpose sports court for whichever game you fancy – football, tennis, basketball or volleyball. You may prefer to just kick back and relax on the beautiful outdoor furnishings with many al-fresco terraces to choose from, whilst keen cooks will love preparing local delights in the idyllic summer kitchen, the perfect place for long meals into the night with a good local wine!
It will be hard to leave your paradise, yet there is so much of Istria to explore. Sample some of the country’s finest olive oil in historical Vodnjan (eight kilometres), take part in the summer festivities in the pretty village of Svetvinčenat (nine kilometres), see the impressive Roman amphitheatre in Pula (twenty kilometres) or head north to idyllic Rovinj (twenty-seven kilometres) with its old town perched above the sea. There are pebble beaches with calm crystal clear waters just sixteen kilometres from your villa, and you can take a boat trip to the nearby islands of Brijuni, which have the most intensely stunning beaches.
After a day exploring you’ll be delighted to return to your luxurious abode where you can be sure of the most comfortable, relaxing and private stay in this stunning part of Istria.
In an unspoiled part of Istria, the local village of Juršići is within easy reach, where you will find a grocery shop and bistro. It’s an isolated and peaceful area filled with olive groves yet within a short drive you can be at the beach or visiting some delightful Istrian towns and villages.
The nearest beaches are just by the fisherman’s village of Fanzana (fifteen kilometres), which has calm, crystal clear waters. Slightly further north is Peroj, which has beautiful views over the Brijuni islands. If you are enticed by the lure of wild and rare nature, then take a boat trip from Fanzana to the nearby islands of Brijuni, which are not only surrounded by the most intensely stunning beaches but are also covered in greenery boasting rare wild plants, including wild cucumber and more.
Historical Vodnjan produces some of the best olive oil in the country and has a restaurant known to be one of the best in Istria. Don’t miss Svetvinčenat, with a programme of summer events to entice visitors to the charming village.
History lovers will especially appreciate Pula and its impressive Roman amphitheatre, a venue for concerts and festivals in the summer. Alternatively, head north to pretty hilltop villages such as Motovun, a pretty medieval hilltop village famous for its truffles.
