Situated on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula, in the fishing village of Vabriga, lies the sophisticated Villa Rafaelle. Just one kilometre from the closest beach, this residence guarantees its guests a luxurious experience. The property is completely walled to ensure privacy, the beautiful swimming pool with hydromassage and sunbathing area will be the focal point for socialising and relaxing, and the summer kitchen with alfresco dining area will round off a perfect day's stay in the Mediterranean air. Impressive interior design with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms accommodating up to 6 guests will captivate you at first glance. The ground floor features an open living area incorporating a comfortable lounge, a modern kitchen and a dining room. The entire space boasts quality furnishings that blend seamlessly with contemporary and traditional elements.

The en-suite bathrooms have a modern minimalist design and come equipped with personal hygiene items. You will feel calm and relaxed not only because of the design but also because of the underfloor heating.

The 700 m² courtyard is completely walled and there is covered parking for 2 cars. The exterior of the house creates a similar atmosphere to the interior thanks to its modern design with traditional elements such as beige shutters on all doors and windows. The garden is dominated by a beautiful swimming pool with a dark blue background reminiscent of the sea and a separate relaxation area with hydromassage. An outdoor shower and towels are at your disposal, as well as 4 sunbeds around the pool. Soak up the Istrian sun by the pool and keep a refreshing drink handy thanks to the large fridge in the summer kitchen. The fully equipped and roofed summer kitchen also features a gas barbecue. In this charming space you can share a delicious meal with family and friends at the large dining table overlooking the pool and sun deck. Villa Rafaelle is ideally located for a day at the beach, but also for exploring the west coast of Istria. Explore the town of Tar-Vabriga, which was created by the merger of two villages, and is located between the charming town of Novigrad and the must-see Istrian pearl Poreč. It is even possible to see these two towns from Tar-Vabriga, and sometimes you can even see Venice from the bell tower of Tar. Visit the church of the Virgin Mary in Vabriga, with two paintings by master Zorzi Ventura dating from 1602, and don't skip tasting the local olive oil - this area is renowned for producing the best olive oil in Europe. If you want to explore the inland, visit the protected geomorphological monument Baredine Cave and continue towards Višnjan to the famous observatory. A trip to Vižinada, one of the most fertile wine-growing regions in Istria, is a must for wine lovers.
