Ask a questionAbout Jim Brannan
My wife and I were married in 1983 and have 2 children. Our children were 17 and 13 when we first went to Croatia and we always felt that they were safe in the Porec area as it is "lively but civilised" We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a special party in our village of Montizana and it was one of the best nights of our lives. We want to be sure that guests will enjoy their stay so we never rent without speaking to people before they commit. This way, we can understand what they want from a holiday and we can decide whether Villa Istria is right for them. Sometimes, we suggest to people that it is not right for them. We enjoy going there as often as possible and we get a lot of pleasure when guests tell us how much they liked the villa and the area and book to return
Jim Brannan purchased this villa in 2005
Why Jim Brannan chose Montizana
My wife Louise and I always went to different places for our holidays. But, when we went to Porec in 2004, we fell in love with the area and bought Villa Istria in 2005. We loved the area and had the opportunity to buy early on this development to get the best site. We bought before it was completed so we could get the villa with the best views and choose the internal finishes. We enjoy a holiday where we can have some peace and quiet but not have to drive too far to visit the beaches and restaurants. We cook in some times and go out others. Just at the coast is the Zelena Laguna complex where there is a huge range of sporting activities. We also own some prime land in a nearby village Kadumi and we are holding this as a further development and investment opportunity.
What makes this villa unique
Montizana is a small rural village and we love it when the local chickens wander over to pay us a visit or the donkeys or sheep are out to see. If you go up the hill behind our house, you can climb a fireman's watchtower and see the beautiful countryside of Istria for many miles around. Our pool is cut into the hillside so is very private with no-one overlooking it. Ideal to relax. In the height of summer, Montizana usually about 3-4 degrees cooler that the temperature at the coast which can be welcome when temperatures peak. The Montizana sky is wonderful at night - well worth putting off the lights and just gazing at the sky to see it without light pollution. Many children have never see a sky like this before if they are city dwellers.
