Casa Roma
This is a home fit for an emperor. Set on two levels, leading down to an infinity pool with views towards Motovun and the valley, it is the jewel in Istria Deluxe's crown.
Natural light pours through the villa's huge windows, and every detail of its furnishings oozes quality.
Paul Gogarty in the Guardian describes the location as: "Sitting in rural seclusion on a bluff in the undulating heartland of northern Istria... with dreamy 360-degree views of Croatia's prettiest scenery."
Roma is not available until 2009, but enquiries are already being fielded from people who have cycled past it this summer. If you are staying in Bella or Sienna this year, then please ask us to organise for you to be shown round this extraordinary site.
