This four bedroom villa is perfect for families and is in the lovely Istrian countryside outside Umag.
Villa Annas is on two levels and enjoys sea views with an attractive outside dining area and barbeque/fire. The bright living/dining room has comfortable sofas, a dining table to seat eight and doors that lead onto the terrace. There are four bedooms and a sofa bed for two people, meaning the villa can sleep a total of 10 guests.
Situated in a quiet residential area this property will suit those looking for a relaxing, laid back holiday. This part of Croatia is quite different from the more well known resorts in the South. The Italian influence is apparent in the delicious food and wine served in the inexpensive restaurants, there are far fewer tourists and life goes on much as it has for generations.
The centre of Umag is a short drive away. Perhaps most famous for the ATP tennis tournament, which has been held here every year since 1990, there is also a wealth of cultural, entertainment and sports facilities. There are several good restaurants within a short drive; Nono, Melon and Busčina all offering the best of Croatian cuisine. The medieval town of Motovun is worth a visit, known for film and jazz festivals and has many other fun activities, as well as coastal areas with an abundance of cultural and historical events.
Villa Annas is next to Villa Arina.
