Citrus Tree Breeze

This super sleek villa in the heart of the Istrian countryside is a huge family home and deluxe spa combined. Those that like to relax and unwind on a big group holiday will love the facilities here. First, the long swimming pool is perfect for swimming laps and is topped with a bubbling Jacuzzi. It’s an indoor pool, but a wall of glass sliding doors can be opened up to get that alfresco feel as you lounge poolside. The outside decking is lined with loungers and parasols for hot, sunny days and there’s dining set on a wooden deck in the middle of the perfect lawn. From here, the view is nothing but lush greenery and fields as far as the eye can see.

Heading inside, we love the floating staircase, like something from an interior design mag. The living area is bright and open, creating a social spot flooded with sunlight during the day. It’s here you’ll find the sleek black kitchen with its island and breakfast bar for plenty of prep space, and dining for the whole group at the wooden table. Should you want to keep on top of your fitness schedule, there’s a dedicated gym room and a sauna for afterwards. Bedrooms all open up to the outdoors from double sliding doors, so there’s no need to fight for the master.

In terms of location, you’re in the charming village of Jurici, and just a fifteen-minure drive from the shops and restaurants of Poreč town – a seafront haven of orange roofs and medieval houses.
