In Central Istria stands a villa with a very distinctive history. The entrance steps, the arched front door and the rows of windows give you a clue right away – the villa was built and used as a schoolhouse 100 years ago. Today, it serves as a spacious holiday home that can accommodate a group of up to 22 people. Even from the forecourt, you can spot some well-preserved features of the former school building. Nevertheless, you’ll also discover a touch of modernity inside. The cosy living room and kitchen are fitted with state-of-the-art appliances. In addition to the kitchen, living room and dining room, the ground floor also features two bedrooms sharing a bathroom – particularly suitable for a family of four. On your way up to the upper floor, you can once again see the influence of the ‘old school’ in the classic staircase with its impressive banister. Once upstairs, you’ll see the stunning hallway with a row of arched windows. From there, you can access the remaining seven bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and overlooking the rear garden, where the villa’s private pool awaits you. Right next to the pool, you can make yourself comfortable under the garden’s wooden-roofed barbecue area and make use of the classic stone barbecue – the perfect spot to relax, dine and simply enjoy your holiday in Central Istria. Look forward to a wonderful experience combining old-world charm with modern touches, and book the Old School House villa now!
Istria itself is a feast for the eyes. The streams in Istria flow through deep valleys and gorges into the Adriatic Sea, reminiscent of giants from ancient local myths. The rolling hills, with small towns perched on their summits overlooking the fields and valleys, are reminiscent of old paintings. This old stone house is situated in the small Istrian village of Jakovici. It is peaceful and relaxing, yet the lively tourist centres of Poreč and Rovinj, as well as the beaches, are just a short drive away. The village is 3 minutes’ drive from Badern and Tinjan. There you’ll find all the amenities, as well as the motorway to the airports of Pula and Trieste (Ryanair, flyglobespan, Thomson, Norwegian Air Shuttle, TUIfly, Germanwings, Sterling, Wizzair and many Russian charter flights). The tourist hotspot of Poreč is 15 minutes away. Rovinj, Pula and other highlights are just a short drive away. The nearest beaches, perfect for relaxing, are just 15 minutes from the villa.
