Holiday Homes Istria & Holiday Rentals Istria

Rent a holiday cottage or a villa with a pool in the Istria region. It's renowned for its succulent green and white adobe beauty. While it spans parts of both Slovenia and Croatia, it’s the Croatian side that claims a particular splendor as it juts out into the blue coolness of the Adriatic Sea. Overlooking Italy to the West, the crumbling archipelagos and rising mountains of the Balkans to the East and the South, Istria is a haven for both the charm of port cities and quaint villages as well as the inland beauty of verdant growth providing shade from the dry-hot coastal Mediterranean climate, the prefect mixture for your holiday in Croatia.

The small, yet bustling port city of Rovinj offers the typical visual splendor of the region. Cobblestone streets of Europe combined with the flare of local street fares selling fine cheeses, olives, local honeys and wines which you are advised to stock up on, to enjoy on an afternoon relaxing in your holiday home or wherever the afternoon might find you. Indeed, spending your holiday exploring the intricate city streets of Rovinj is one option, as is cycling out into the Istrian countryside – a huge sport popular among locals and tourists on holiday alike. These same roads built by the Romans wind along the coastline revealing wide expanses of clear turquoise water lapping up against the white villages clinging to the cliff sides.

If you’ve forgone the holiday picnic idea, don’t worry - there are plenty of exquisite waterfront cafés serving fresh seafood and local specialties to locals and holiday makers alike, washed down with local wine or an international beer. Continuing the search for a panoramic view will bring you through picturesque orchards to climbing higher up the Istrian peninsula, where a handful of countries can be seen from a single vantage point. Your gaze may be directed mainly toward the sea, where sailing from Porec will show you a huge amount of Istrian coast in a single trip leaving plenty of time to relax at your holiday home.

There are numerous accommodation options available; Istria holiday cottages, holiday homes, and self catering villas with a pool. Istria is perfect for day trips and weekend breaks. Those who have extra time on their holiday are recommended to rent a holiday apartment and travel around the peninsula of Istria extensively.
