Easy drive from airports at Trieste, Venice, Pula, Rijeka, Ljubliana, or Zagreb. This one bedroom traditional old stone villa, with its private pool, hidden in the beautiful green Istrian countryside, has recently been lovingly restored. It is the perfect romantic hideaway, set in tranquil surroundings on the top of a ridge, amongst the vines and olive trees; this area is often likened to Tuscany. Thanks to the enviable location of the house, spectacular panoramic views are to be found in every direction. The living room has been thoughtfully placed on the first floor to optimise the impact of the (near to 360 degree) breathtaking views. From Villa Klarici you can see Motovun, Oprtalj and Draguc, with their ancient campaniles, and Lake Butoniga sparkling to the west with the backdrop of Mount Ucka, amongst many other landmarks. The large covered Istrian terrace faces South towards Motovun and the truffle forests, and overlooks the private pool with its sunbathing platform, the lavender-scented garden and the purpose-built barbecue. The villa itself offers spacious air conditioned accommodation with fully equipped kitchen, spacious living room with Istrian fireplace, cosy bedroom with large continental bed and modern shower room. Separate sleeping arrangements for 2 guests, who are not a 'couple', is possible. Please contact us for details. Sorry, this villa is not suitable for children or pets. As regards the abundant wildlife here, we have personally seen the following from the garden: hoopoes calling in the spring, owls hooting in the evenings, woodpeckers, swallowtail and many other butterflies in the lavender, buzzards mewing to each other overhead on a warm afternoon, red legged partridges, swallows wheeling over the garden and the occasional hare running through the fields, amongst many other birds and animals. This year we were fascinated by the brightly coloured European bee-eaters, as they perched on the wires close to the house, before darting off to catch an insect. The locals talk about the wild boar that live in the nearby forests; thankfully they tend not to venture out as far as our villa! In spring and summer the fields on the surrounding hills are a riot of wildflowers, including orchids that are now only rarely seen in the UK. The heady scent that blows across from these fields is delightful. This area of inland Istria is renowned for its gastronomy and viniculture, reminiscent of, and as highly regarded as some Italian terroirs. Truffles are hunted locally and are featured widely in the local restaurants, much more affordably than in the UK or elsewhere. There are several award winning restaurants in the area around Villa Klarici, also many excellent family run restaurants and inns (konobas). Truffle fairs to celebrate the truffle, are held in September, October and early November in Buzet and Livade, both locations close to the villa. Villa Klarici is perfectly located in inland Istria to provide a central base for exploring, either east or west coasts - just 25 minutes drive.
