Situated in the Istrian village of Matulini, Villa Petuni offers guests a peaceful location just twelve kilometres away from the vibrant seaside town of Poreč. With a fascinating history that dates 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 of Poreč, 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 historical sites. Today, Decumanus Street is also a popular shopping area, with plenty of independent boutiques and gift shops that sit alongside cute local cafes and traditional restaurants.
Only a fifteen-minute drive from Poreč, the Baredine Cave offers something different for adventure-seeking visitors! Take a subterranean 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.
After a morning exploring the region’s ancient caves, make your way to the sun-drenched Istrian coast to while away the afternoon. Only twenty minutes from Matulini, Zelena Laguna Beach is one of Poreč’s most beautiful beaches, with warm, crystal-clear waters and secluded shores. Nearby Delfin Beach offers visitors an array of water sports facilities, including sea kayaks and jet ski rentals. The beach is surrounded by fragrant pine trees, which provide shade and seclusion. Meanwhile, the spectacular beaches on the island of St. Nicholas are only a ten-minute ferry journey from Poreč’s seafront promenade.
Hiking and biking enthusiasts will be delighted by Vrsar, a quaint fishing village that is home to several scenic trails along the coast. Only thirty-five minutes away from Matulini by car, Rovinj is a seaside town with a labyrinth of narrow streets and colourful architecture to discover. Here, you can explore the enchanting old town before making your way to the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia, where you can take in panoramic views of the ocean and the cluster of tiny islands surrounding Rovinj. Later on, relax by the shimmering waters of Lone Bay Beach or enjoy a variety of water sports on Mulini Beach before making your way home to Villa Petuni in time for a sunset swim and dinner on the terrace.
