Casa Andrik

In the Istrian region of Svetvincenat, Casa Andrik enjoys a beautiful vineyard with views over a vast private forest area. With access to Mediterranean gardens, fitness and spa facilities and a heated pool, this stunning villa is the ideal base for Croatian adventures and offers a wide range of enticing extras.

Incredible surroundings such as these are hard to find, and you are sure to spend plenty of time outdoors appreciating them. The forest measures 5000 sq m and has hammocks and benches, as well as walking trails. There's a golf practice green and Petanque court in the gardens, and a spa and gym area are also available.

The villa is in the peaceful village of Rezanci, a central point from which to explore the Svetvincenat area. It makes the perfect base for your excursions, offering a large heated pool, dining terrace and minimalist interiors with air-conditioning, underfloor heating, sound system in every room and each King size bed is separable into two twin beds.

The dining room and kitchen open onto a traditional Istrian-covered dining terrace with a wood-burning stove and seating for twelve. A modern open-plan kitchen is fully equipped and also makes the cooking part a pleasure. A games room with a games console is sure to please younger guests.

Casa Andrik can comfortably accommodate ten guests, two of which will be lucky enough to enjoy the master bedroom with its en-suite shower room and large veranda overlooking the vineyard and forest. Four more bedrooms all have an en-suite, satellite television and king-size bed, each of which can be divided into twin beds for extra flexibility.

Istria is one of the jewels of Croatia, and Casa Andrik puts you right at the heart of this extraordinarily beautiful region. Many fine beaches are a twenty to thirty minute drive away, and you won't have trouble reaching the villa either – fly into Pula, Trieste or Venice and they will arrange for you to be collected and taken straight there.

Location

The medieval town of Svetvincenat lies on Croatia's Istrian peninsula, around 30 minutes north of Pula. Its centrality makes it a fine base for exploring the wider region, and in recent years it has become something of an attraction in itself, as more people discover its appealing architecture, cuisine and cultural offerings.

As Croatian wines grow in popularity and stature, Svetvincenat does its bit to promote the best of the region with an annual New Wine Festival each autumn. In July, cheese takes centre-stage, with the Svetvincenat Cheese Festival hosting artisanal cheese makers from all over Croatia and neighbouring Slovenia.

Svetvincenat's main square, Placa, and castle, Morosini-Grimani, are among its highlights, earning it a reputation as one of Istria's best-preserved medieval towns. There is a small selection of nice eateries in Svetvincenat, too, including some good pizzerias.
