Casa Bella
Casa Bella is an idyllic five-bedroom family retreat set away from the road on a hillside with panoramic views and many of the facilities you might expect to find in a top hotel.
Outdoor facilities include a swimming pool with a child alarm, lush green lawns, including space for croquet, a table tennis table, a barbecue, and a vineyard growing behind the house. There's also a bicycle for every guest.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area are spacious and filled with natural light, whilst the huge sitting room has wonderful Italian furniture, a giant television with a satellite feed (including Sky) and magnificent windows that open out to spectacular views.
All five bedrooms are cool, exquisitely furnished and spread around the villa to afford their occupants maximum privacy.
Bella's other highlight is a wonderful veranda with stunning views and room for everyone to eat, or just chill out in the fresh Istrian air.
It sleeps ten people in five bedrooms. Three of these are upstairs: the double master en suite, plus a twin and a double that share a bathroom. Downstairs there are another twin and double with a shared bathroom.
