Villa Margherita

Villa Margherita stands in Kurili, a hamlet of a few houses just outside Kanfanar, about twenty minutes by car from Rovinj. Inside it is a modern house: four bedrooms, three of them with their own bathroom, and one long, bright room for living, dining and cooking, with a sofa bed for a ninth and tenth guest.

Most of the day happens outside. There is a private pool, heated on request in April, May, September and October, a 60 m² terrace looking out over fields and woods, a barbecue, sun loungers and a small playground. The whole plot is fenced, so children and dogs can run about while the grown-ups stay at the table.

On the lower floor there is a gym and a games room with billiards, table tennis, table football and darts, which is handy on a grey afternoon. Four bicycles come with the house for the quiet lanes around the village. Dogs are welcome.

Kanfanar sits on the main Istrian motorway junction, which makes the villa an easy base for seeing the whole peninsula. Rovinj’s old town and beaches, the Lim fjord, Poreč, Motovun and Pula are all within about forty minutes. It suits two families or a group of friends who want space and quiet more than a sea view. If you want to walk to the beach, ask us about our places in Borik instead.
