About this property

Villa L'Esprit - charming countryside villa in Istria with 5 bedrooms for ten guests with a pool

Designed by an owner artist this truly unique property is located in central Istria in a tiny village Foli. Originally built in the 17th century it has been completely renovated preserving the original charm while ensuring prime comfort and interior to be admired. Displaying gorgeous, high-quality wood flooring, whitewashed stone walls, replicated wood beamed roof and ceilings, antique furnishings yet contemporary facilities it’s no wonder in 2018 Villa L’Esprit was voted one of the most beautiful holiday properties in all of Croatia. Starting at the top, the 2ndfloor offers one ensuite bedroom. Then 3 bedrooms are distributed over the 1stfloor, one of which is ensuite, while the other two share a full bathroom. Finally the fifth bedroom, which is a part of a studio, is located on the ground floor. Also to be found here is a charming, very spacious and fully equipped kitchen, as well as a dining area with a fireplace and a living room. From here, access the deck yielding a pool, barbecue facilities, and a shaded dining table. Tall stone walls surround the property ensuring complete privacy.
In five bedrooms ten adult guests are comfortably accommodated.
The beating heart of Croatia, extremely rich in history standing proof to occupation by multiple powers, Istria is the most multicultural region of the country with preserved Roman ruins, medieval coastal towns, excellent cuisine, superb beaches, crystal clear water, its own dialect and hospitable hosts. The mountainous center of the peninsula is home to charming villages, producing their own olive oil and delicious wine and if you find yourself here in late summer to early fall be sure to attend a truffle festival offering exquisite truffles in every way known to the gastronomic world.
For transparency: please account for 500 euro security deposit to be paid upon arrival directly to the hostand returned upon departure, subject to inspection. Friendly pets may be allowed with anadditional 100 euro per pet, per week cleaning fee.

Top Ferien-Villa
Das Haus bzw. die gesamte Anlage war einfach nur Top. Super Ausstattung, sehr sauber, toller Pool (leicht salzig), ruhige Lage (das Dorf besteht aus ca. 20 Häusern). Vom Gasgrill über holzbefeuerten Pizza-Ofen im Freien ist alles vorhanden. Einzige Nachteile sind die schmalen Doppel-Betten (wenn man sein 2x2m Bett gewohnt ist) und die mäßigen Parkmöglichkeiten mit mehreren Autos. Von Foli aus erreicht man nahezu alles in Istrien in max. ca. 30-40 Minuten. Wir waren drei Familien mit Kindern zwischen 8 und 14 Jahren. Allen hat es sehr gut in der Villa gefallen.

Traumhaftes Anwesen
Traumhaftes Anwesen, man benötigt mehrere Tage um alle Details zu erfassen. Sehr sauber und gepflegt, modernste Ausstattung. Absolute Empfehlung.
