The Sanctuary Overview
Settled within the serene confines of the charming Istrian village of Sveti Lovrec, this delightful villa awaits, offering a tranquil retreat just a stone's throw away from the historic marvels of Porec, a mere 11 kilometres away. Encircled by lush Mediterranean greenery and an array of trees, this single-story abode provides an idyllic sanctuary for couples or small families seeking respite from the ordinary.
The crowning jewel of the outdoor space is undoubtedly the glistening private pool, serving as the focal point amidst the open-air living concept. Skilful use of uplighting imbues the surroundings with a serene ambience, particularly as dusk settles in, casting a magical twilight spell. For aspiring culinary enthusiasts, a brick-built BBQ and dining area await under the sheltered embrace of a shady terrace, offering a delightful haven from the Croatian sun's midday rays.
Step through the villa's threshold and be greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, adorned with rustic wooden beams against whitewashed walls, creating an atmosphere of rustic elegance. Thoughtful attention to detail is evident in the choice of colours and materials throughout. A spacious king-size bedroom with a divan base and plush box-spring mattress beckons with a large window overlooking the verdant outdoor expanse, while a comfortable sofa bed in the lounge provides additional accommodation. Completing the interior sanctuary is a luxurious wet room, boasting a rejuvenating rain shower for guests' indulgence.
Just a short distance of 3 kilometres from the villa lies a charming array of restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets, catering to all daily needs. For the adventurous souls, a day trip to the renowned national park, Cape Kamenjak, located at the southern tip of Istria, promises a wealth of exploration opportunities. From snorkelling in crystal-clear waters to basking in the sun and savouring refreshing beverages at nearby bars, a day at Cape Kamenjak offers an unforgettable escapade.

Resort Description
Set on the Western side of the Istrian peninsula and looking out to the Italian Coast, the seaside town of Porec is a fantastic place to enjoy family holidays. Historic, Roman influences infused with a modern-day twist make Porec an attractive town to explore, whilst its rocky shores lined with secluded coves, pines trees and beachside cafés cater for your sun seeking needs.
A must-see attraction in Porec and perhaps Istria’s most famous is the UNESCO listed Euphrasian Basilica. This 4th century monument has largely been kept intact and boasts beautiful, striking mosaics, and is a fine example of Byzantine architecture.
Scattered throughout the Old Town’s stone-walled streets are some fine eateries favoured by the locals, and are a great place to sample authentic Croatian and Italian cuisine. Why not end your evenings at one of Porec’s many lively bars? The town has some brilliant nightlife and has become a hotspot for locals.
A villa holiday in Porec allows you to spend a day at Istralandia, the region's highly rated water park which is a 30-minute drive north.
