Casa Roma
Casa Roma: Sleeps 10
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. The views are the best you will find anywhere in Croatia as it has been built on a hill top with views of the lakes and medieval village tops.
The house has 4 double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms plus a twin room with use of a toilet and sink. Should you wish to use any of the double rooms as a twin this is perfectly possible as there are lots of single duvets available and the beds are large!. It has an indoor kitchen on the top floor with an outside terrace, plus an outside kitchen for BBQs and a further table outside by the pool.
The house has a much more modern feel inside than our other two properties. It has white polished concrete floors, air conditioning throughout, state of the art sound system, TotalTV satellite, modern Italian designer furniture and contemporary lighting. It is a fantastic house for entertaining.
The infinity pool also has a 25 meter lap lane, ideal for those wanting to keep fit! It is close to the villa, however, so we would not recommend this property for children who cannot swim. The villa also has private parking for three cars and stands in grounds of around 3/4 acres. There are a few bikes, internet access and ipod docking stations in each bedroom.
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."
