A beautiful and relaxing holiday

We have just returned from a wonderful two weeks at Villa Vista. The views were stunning. A very peaceful and beautiful location.

Like most beautiful dream

It is hard to describe the beauty of this place! Villa is amazing, minimalism at the best, comfortable and with so many beautiful details and care of the owner! The view is like heaven! Sound of silence is one of the great experiences. This is my favourite place in Istria! Looking forward to visiting again!

Best modern villa in Istria with breath-taking view

Villa is perfect for stress relief. View is breath-taking (270 degrees). Extraordinary pool-unique design. Beds are extremely big and comfortable. Fireplace cosy. Panoramic view from all rooms. Even when cooking one could enjoy the view of beautiful Istrian nature. I strongly recommend visiting this special place.

The villa's location is utterly stunning, in all weathers

The villa's location is utterly stunning, in all weathers. it's a beautifully designed, relaxing house. We had a wonderful few hours hunting truffles with Christian, a few nice meals in Motovun and an afternoon by the sea in Porec. Tip would be go to the supermarket in Pazin on the way to save you a trek back for food. I'd also put a bit more manageable info in the villa itself eg favourite restaurant tips, excursions with more details than one sentence. Overall though this is an exceptional property, highly recommended.

Olli, 05.05.2019

We spent perfect weekend in the Villa, enjoying excellent fire place ( could be seen from all sides ), sleeping on the extremely comfortable bed ( huge), looking from my bed the rest of Istria, swimming in the pool with view of 270 degrees. I have enjoyed each and every moment in and arround the Villa. One of the best places , I have ever seen.

Ivan, 24.04.2017

The location and breath taking view are absolutely superb. The facilities of the villa are excellent. The only problem was that we could not stay longer.

Hans, April 2017

Perfect weekend

Frankly, I have never seen such a wonderful view. Location and house perfectly fit together. We were cooking, walking around and tasting excellent local food and enjoyed every moment we spent in villa.

Zdenko, 04.2017

This villa has it all

We just spent a wonderful and relaxing week at Villa Vista. This villa has it all. The most amazing views, big open floor plan inside, perfect seating outside, huge pool and lots of grass for the kids to run around. Elisa the manager is so lovely and helpful. She brought us fresh homemade bread, eggs and fish from the market so we didn’t have to leave. This villa is really an escape! You will need to drive 20 min to a nearby restaurant and supermarket but we didn’t mind. Can’t wait to go back next summer!

Laura, July 2020

The most fantastic villa we have booked in Europe
