Balora - a stunning villa for 2 in Istria
We’ve got two fantastically romantic villas in Istria that we can’t recommend high enough for a relaxing escape after your big day. Here’s a little more information:
Bolara – This is a very pretty villa in Istria designed for 2. It has just 1 bedroom and one bathroom and is situated in Ponte Porton (Grožnjan). As with all of our properties, Bolara has its own private pool and stunning views of the Mirna river valley, looking into its dense in oak forest.
The villa is in fact nestled in amongst the wooded valley slopes and not far away from the medieval hilltop village of Grožnjan. It is in fact an ancient farmer’s cottage, which contains a wealth of character in the form of open-faced walls, a large in-built stone fireplace, internal arches and solid wood cross beams etc.
Bolara's stunning poolside views
Approximately 2km away you’ll discover a delightful local restaurant serving Istrian specialities such as gnocchi, fresh asparagus and a range of truffle dishes. Grožnjan (7km) is home to a mini market and two café bars as well as stunning views, delightful architecture and a wealth of galleries and craft shops selling artwork, jewellery and ceramics. Further supermarkets and various seafront restaurants are found between Novigrad and Umag (30 mins) together with beautiful, clear water pebble beaches such as Mareda and Dalja.
