Beautiful villa Lucija with private pool

This generous holiday villa combines the charm of traditional Istrian architecture with all the modern comforts you would need for a memorable holiday. The villa was built in 1886 and has been renovated in 2004 for modern living whilst still retaining much of its original rustic character. It enjoys a picturesque quiet setting in the small village of Rovinjsko Selo near the town of Rovinj on the western coast of Istria, an ideal place for a quiet holiday far away from the tourist crowds.Fully enclosed traditional Istrian stone villa with a private swimming pool, covered terrace with wood fired grill and children playground

From the living area you walk into the 400m² fully enclosed garden boasting the private swimming pool. The 24 m² overflow pool is comfortably accessed via circular stepping stones. It is surrounded by large wooden sun loungers and a sun shade. An outdoor shower and even an outdoor guest toilet provide additional convenience and comfort. Towards the back of the garden is a covered terrace with a large dining area furnished with a stone table, chairs and a bench. The traditional wood fired grill provides the perfect atmosphere for romantic outdoor dinners. The swimming pool is enclosed by a high old stone wall, separating it from the generous lawn area and making it a safe place for pets, who are very welcome, and small children to play on their own.

Limski kanal (Limm Channel), the 35km long valley of the river Pazincica where you can visit the caves and go rock climbing is also in close proximity.
