Villa Erin is an enchanting property with beautiful stone architecture, blending in nicely with the surrounding countryside and is at the edge of the little Hamlet of Radici, 15 minutes drive from Porec. Newly built with all modern conveniences, furnished to the highest standards with reclaimed Istrian stone, traditional fireplace and old oak beams to give the property a very special atmosphere and character. All windows and doors are double glazed with outside wooden shutters, typical of the region. Villa Erin is the ideal choice to get away from it all, in a tranquil location, amidst the Istrian countryside, the New Tuscany, whilst being close enough to Porec and Rovinj to enjoy a wide range of sporting and leisure facilities. Villa Erin has 3 bedrooms, and sleeps 6/7. The master bedroom is on the first floor, with en suite bathroom and a private terrace (with table and 2 chairs) with countryside and distant sea views. Bedroom 2 is a double bedroom with French doors leading onto the front terrace and swimming pool area. Bedroom 3 is a twin bedroom with a garden view. A Fold Up Bed for one person is also available. The bedrooms are tastefully furnished with quality rustic furniture in keeping with the character of the property. The villa is also ideal for out of season breaks. On winter nights the traditional Istrian log fire place will keep you warm and cosy in combination with the modern oil-fired central heating. Location Information: Located in the small hamlet of Radici, Villa Erin is just 3 km away from the small ancient walled village of Sveti Lovrec where you will find a few small grocery shops, bars, a post office and a cafe.

Visitors Feedback: Thank you so much - the villa is beautiful and we had a great time. Croatia is as lovely as everyone says - the countryside glorious and the people so friendly. Hope you get the opportunity to spend some time there following all your hard work. Emma and family. UK. May 2006.******************* We had an excellent time - lots of relaxing and lots of time spent snorkelling. Everything about the villa was great. We were so glad to have the pool because the temperatures were particulary hot that week and we made very good use of the barbeque. We enjoyed great fish in Rovinj in particular and excellent snorkelling/swimming in the quiet coves south of Pula. We only wished we could have stayed longer to go and visit some places further afield. Thanks again and good luck with the venture, Stephen & friends - UK. June 2006. ****************** Villa Erin was lovely. We felt very much at home and enjoyed the swimming pool. There was enough space for the seven of us. We went to the seaside near Porec (Plava Laguna) where we swam, snorkeled and had fun on the banana boat. My son went to the diving school and is now an "Open Water Diver". In the mornings and in the evenings we enjoyed the house and its surroundings. Once we went on a daytrip by boat to Rovinj, a wonderful medevial town, and one day we drove to Pula to see the Amphitheater. We had taken four bikes with us and Jens went to Sv. Loverec with one of them every morning to get us some fresh bread. The property manager did a very good job. We were pleased with the way she cared for us. We really liked Villa Erin and are thinking of going back there next year. If we want to book again, by when do you need to know the exact dates? Best regards E Weisskopf & friends, Germany. August 2007. ****************** Owners External Website: http://www.villaerin.com Click here to search for other locations in Croatia. |
