The place to truly get away from it all, Villa Levanda is the perfect villa for that much needed R&R. Escape to the sprawling Istrian countryside, with lush greenery and olive groves at every turn for the ultimate stress-free getaway. Located in a tiny hamlet just inland from the seaside town of Porec, experience an authentic slice of Croatian life without being too far away from all the action.

This stunning stone-built villa is full of character, combining traditional Istrian architecture with a neutral contemporary twist. The interiors don't disappoint, with minimalist décor and stylish furnishings throughout to create a chic, modern setting. We're in love with the grey and neutral colour scheme, that beautifully contrasts with the pops of soothing lavender shades. The ground floor features a bright and airy open-plan kitchen, dining, and living room area and a large double bedroom. Upstairs you'll find another large double bedroom, featuring a jacuzzi and sauna for those desired pamper sessions.

With over 100 square metres of space all to yourself, this incredible villa is all about outdoor living. This secluded oasis contains an enclosed garden, where the generous swimming pool takes centre stage on the stone terrace. There's nothing better than taking a refreshing morning dip, then relaxing with a cocktail on a sun lounger. We recommend reading a good book on the swing chair whilst soaking up the balmy Croatian weather. As evening sets in, the sleek alfresco dining area is the perfect spot to gather for dinner and drinks at sunset.

If you can bring yourself to leave this slice of paradise, Porec is just on your doorstep and is a historic town full of Roman influence and an abundance of authentic restaurants. Closer to home are crops of charming villages just walking distance away, with local bistros serving up the typical Istrian cuisine and some international delights.
