Family vacation without worry and hassle? Yes, it is possible!
We know that a vacation with children can be anything but a vacation. We will help you make it a real vacation, and an unforgettable one at that! If you are traveling with small children, make sure that the villa you choose has a crib and high chair. Most of the villas already have them, and some can provide them on request, so be sure to ask in advance. If you are traveling with teenagers, we believe that in addition to their own room, they will want space to play and have fun. In our offer you will find a number of activity villas with various facilities that will keep them entertained.
Now, let’s talk about the outdoor activities that your children, like any other, are sure to love. Choose a villa that has a large fenced yard and a playground so that your children have a constant occupation. Also, choose a villa that has a separate children’s pool in addition to the main pool so that you know they are safe while swimming.
Most of our villas are suitable for a family vacation, but to get the best for your family, be sure to look for villas in our Collection category. There you will find a category of family villas that have everything you need in one place. We will highlight one villa that has it all – Villa Filton. Wellness for you and a large pool, garden and video games for the kids. Can it get any better?!
Give yourself and your four-legged friend a dream vacation
More and more people choose to travel with their pets. Although this is much easier than it used to be, we are aware that there are still some limitations. In order to be well prepared, you may want to read our blog article on tips for a carefree vacation with a dog. There you will find general travel advice while in this article we will tell you a little more about what to look for when choosing your accommodation.
When looking for the ideal pet-friendly villa, it is important to check whether the accommodation allows pets without further inquiries or on request. The latter are generally not suitable for pets, but are flexible and may accept them with prior notice. Also, check the number of pets that are welcome in the accommodation. Some owners require an additional fee to insure against possible damage, but you will be informed of this before booking.
Another thing to consider is the fence. Most of our villas have a fenced property, but not all of them have a real fence, but a hedge. If your pet tends to run away, choose a property with an impenetrable fence and you will have no worries. You will find all this information on the accommodation pages, so study them carefully before choosing the ideal villa.
When you arrive at the accommodation, you will find house rules, and one of the points refers to pets. Read it carefully and follow the instructions. Bring your own bed and toys to help your pet settle in, and remember to keep the space clean. By doing so, you will ensure a pleasant vacation for yourself and for future guests. And you will show the owners respect by taking care of their home as if it were your own.
Vacation with friends in a villa with sea view? Sounds great!
The idea of an ideal vacation for young people is certainly a vacation with friends. And where there are friends, there is fun. We believe that if you fall into this category, a vacation is actually an opportunity for you to bond with your friends. And make unforgettable memories together. We are sure that you will find a suitable villa in our offer, and we will advise you on what to consider when booking.
To ensure a carefree vacation for you and your company, check if the chosen accommodation welcomes groups of young people (usually applies to young people under 21). Also, if you are planning a party with music, check if the villa allows parties. Finally, check if certain accommodations require a deposit. You can check all of this on the individual accommodation pages.
Another factor that we believe will be important to you is the location. We offer youth group-friendly villas that are secluded, as well as those that are in the center of events. Choose your accommodation according to the group’s needs. If you plan to spend most of your time in the villa, choose Villa Una Sofia, a secluded villa that will fill every moment of your day with numerous entertainment activities. On the other hand, if you want to be in the center of everything and also have a sea view, head to Dalmatia, where you will find Villa Ocean View.
The most important part of any stay is to follow the house rules. Happy you, happy owners. Before you arrive at the villa, the owner will contact you and give you all the necessary instructions. The house rules will be available in the accommodation itself. All you have to do is gather your company, pack and go!
A memorable location for a memorable vacation
Choosing a great location is the key to a great vacation. You don’t want to be one of those people who booked accommodation thinking there was a lot to do in the area, only to find yourself in the middle of nowhere. Or vice versa. So do your research on the area you want to stay in, and we’ll give you some of our favorite suggestions. When it comes to choosing a vacation destination, we can distinguish 3 groups of people. Those who want to be secluded, then those who want to be in the center of everything and also close to the sea, and finally those who want the golden mean.
Waking up to the chirping of birds in the countryside
If you belong to the first group, we have good news for you. In our offer you will find many secluded villas where you can relax in the true sense of the word. Sometimes a vacation is not a vacation without getting away from people and the noise of big tourist cities. And where do you go? To the interior of Istria. One of the villas that will provide you with such a vacation is Villa Benjamin, located on the slopes of the small village of Tinjan. Here you can enjoy the panoramic view of the countryside, and the only unannounced visitors might be the occasional bird or squirrel. We would go there in a heartbeat, and you?
The liveliness of tourist destinations
Those for whom a vacation is not a vacation without having a good time, and who want to have everything available just a few steps away, will be delighted with villas in coastal towns. Coastal towns, especially in summer, have an infectious buzz that won’t let you go to bed early. If you live for that summer buzz and liveliness, we have a location and a villa for you. Villa Alte Mühle is located in the heart of Novigrad, right next to the marina and 400 meters from the first beach. The nearest cafes, restaurants and supermarkets are within 100 meters from the accommodation, and the villa itself is equipped with top quality facilities. Swimming pool, whirlpool, roof terrace with views of the city – sounds perfect! And it’s waiting just for you.
The best of both worlds
After all, the most desirable location is the one in between. Having peace and quiet, but still being close to all the attractions. In this case, it is best to choose the suburbs of larger tourist towns, such as Veli Maj, near Poreč. Here you will find Villa Cormoran. The courtyard of this luxurious villa is adorned with olive trees and greenery, making you feel like you are miles away from the rest of the world. But don’t let the scenery fool you. It is only a 5 minute drive to the nearest beach and a 5 minute walk to the nearest restaurant. The city of Poreč is about 10 minutes away by car, and there are numerous water parks within the same distance.
We’ve done our part, now it’s your turn. The process is simple. Bring kids, pets, company – preferably all together. The more the merrier! Choose the ideal location and head off on a dream vacation in one of our villas.
