About this property

Built in just 2011, Villa Komen is a wonderfully modern home near the sublime Istrian coastline, just a short walk from the village of Marasi.

The main living area is designed in an L-shaped open plan style. There is a beautiful modern kitchen in one part, with a warm, bright design and plenty of space to get all the group involved with meal prep. Alongside this, through the walkway, is the formal dining area, with a table for six and a more traditional design.

Around the corner from here is the beautiful living area which consists of a large L-shaped sofa and an armchair in front of the TV, with a large, traditional stone fireplace in the corner. This semi-open plan design creates a friendly atmosphere, while also granting a sense of privacy and separation when desired.

There are three elegant bedrooms, all on the first floor, each with a beautifully crafted bed frame, a simple design and soft, soothing tones. All three have a double bed, and plenty of space spread out and unwind. There are two sublime family bathrooms, one on this floor and one on the ground floor. Both have huge showers, one of which is a hydro-massage shower!

This is sure to soothe, calm and reinvigorates you ready for a great day! There is a terrace on the first floor which can be accessed by one of the bedrooms. From the terrace, there is a magnificent view over the sea and surrounding natural landscape, and over the small hill-top village of Gradina.

In the garden, you will find a delightful private pool as the centrepiece. Surrounded by sun loungers, this is the ideal place for soaking up a little of the famous Istrian sunshine!

A lawn encircles the house where you can play with the children, and there’s even a play area with ladders and ropes to swing on. On the veranda there is an outdoor dining table for alfresco meals and a barbeque in the courtyard, so you can indeed make the most of the pleasant climate!

Nearby Vrsar is excellent for evening walks along the marina, while you’re under an hour away from Učka Nature Park, a sprawling protected area with hiking routes leading to canyons, waterfalls and historic sites, so you’ll find unspoilt nature a stone’s throw away.

One-Third of the Istrian territory is forested, and the rest is carpeted with vineyards, olive trees, pastures and orchards, with ancient walled cities perched atop hills in the mountainous landscape, so you need merely stroll out of your front door to find the richness of Istria.

Villa Komen is 8km away from the town of Vrsar, which offers many romantic viewing spots, as well as hosting the annual Casanovafest, an exciting festival of love and erotica, which you should experience if you’re in the area!

At just half an hour away, you also can’t miss the delightful Venetian coastal town of Rovinj, half-way up the western coastline.

Wander the old town, with its Venetian architecture and marble streets and admire the views across the marina before settling for a meal in one of its many beautiful sea-side restaurants.

And be sure to stop off in Lim Bay while you’re there – a dramatic Fjord stretching for miles inland, 3km from the villa and very much on your route to Rovinj!

A charming heart-shaped peninsula in the north-west of Croatia, Istria is warm, welcoming and perfectly-sized – you can drive the length in around an hour, putting everything within easy reach! From breath-taking scenery, rich history and a world-famous culinary scene – you will find it all in Istria!

As a former part of the Venetian Republic, this region has seen many rulers from the Romans, Byzantines and Austro-Hungarians to the Italians and Yugoslavians. Now, a myriad of enchanting towns and villages, rich in history and culture, are nestled among the undulating countryside.

Active holiday-makers will be delighted with the offerings: from windsurfing in Medulin to scuba diving in the Brijuni National park and rock climbing, hang-gliding and walking in Buzet along the 15km ‘seven waterfalls’ walk, Istria has it all. Both along the dramatic coastal paths and in the mountains inland, you will find an abundance of natural paths for cycling and rugged off-road hiking trails.

Much like its neighbouring Italy, Istria is a gastronome’s paradise, home to world-class cuisine and endless rows of vineyards. Be sure to try the local wines, which are often sweet and fruity, using a wide variety of grapes including white Malvasia, red Terrano and Moscato.

Istria is especially famous for its truffles, which you will find served with any dish and sauce! Both Rijeka and Pula have international airports within a short drive of the villa, while Pula is the central hub for those getting ferries, although there is a daily ferry between Poreč and Venice.
