A blend of tradition and modernity, beauty and practicality, spaciousness and elegance. The beautiful Villa San Martino near Rovinj offers all this and much more.
You can literally feel that every detail has been lovingly designed to make you feel like you are in your perfect home away from home.
This beautiful two-storey building from 1922, imaginatively reminiscent of a dream castle, can accommodate up to 11 people, comfortably accommodated in 5 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
The ground floor is open & bright, rustic & charming, where the whole family should simply feel at home. A fully equipped kitchen and dining room form the perfect symbiosis for your culinary excursions, complemented by a living room with a fireplace as the centrepiece: an absolute must for romantic evenings and time travel into the past or future.
The ground floor leads to the ground floor, where there are three bedrooms, each with a comfortable double bed for your dream realm. You will be particularly impressed by the details of the stone wall and forget for a moment which century you are in - completely understandable on holiday.
A loft with two bedrooms hides another real surprise. The little ones can hop upstairs and have their own playroom just for themselves - because there are no limits to children's imaginations and they tell the best stories.
For unforgettable outdoor moments, you have a large garden with carefully landscaped lawns and flowers, a private pool and a covered outdoor kitchen with a large dining area. Whether you want to barbecue and hang out, sunbathe or relax, take a break from everyday life and recharge your batteries in this magical place. Villa San Martino is your fairytale location for an ideal family holiday in beautiful Istria.
In the south-west of Istria, about 15 minutes by car from Rovinj, lies a small village called Soii, in the town of Kanfanar. You will find peace that is characteristic of small settlements in the hinterland of Istria, but at the same time they do not give up anything, as it breathes life 365 days a year.
In the immediate vicinity is a category zero cultural monument and the most visited attraction in the region - the medieval town of Dvigrad, with the remains of a Romanesque basilica.
The municipality of Kanfanar is an interesting destination for all lovers of nature, historical heritage, Istrian tradition and culture, gastronomic delights, but also for active holidaymakers, as it has cycling trails, climbing rocks and a handful of sports fields.
Nearby there is a nature reserve - Lim Canal, where you can try fish and shellfish from our own farm. The canal itself is 12 kilometres long and steep hills rise up on both sides, up to 200 metres high in places. Due to the many underwater springs, the sea here has a low salt content and is extremely rich in plankton.
If you happen to be on holiday at the end of July, don't miss Jakovlje, a unique folk festival known for the selection of the most beautiful Istrian cattle, the bokarin.
We will only mention Rovinj - an unavoidable jewel that you must explore & fall in love with.
