Immerse yourself in the serene natural beauty of Istria at Villa Kimora, located on the outskirts of the village of Marčana, only sixteen kilometres away from the beautiful beaches and lively city atmosphere of Pula, Istria’s coastal capital. Surrounded by green woodlands and olive groves, Marčana is a picturesque rural area dotted with traditional stone houses and a small selection of local bars and restaurants within a fifteen-minute drive of Villa Kimora.
The villa provides the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Istrian peninsula. The white pebble shores and crystal-clear waters of Peroj are only a twenty-minute drive away, while the beaches of nearby Barbariga are rugged and remote. A long and sunny promenade stretches from Peroj to Fažana, where there are plenty of convenient amenities such as beach bars and cafes and local businesses offering water sports facilities, including snorkelling gear and sea kayaks. For an exciting day trip across the water, the untouched natural beauty of Brijuni National Park is just a short boat journey away from the Fažana fishing port. Here, visitors can enjoy the fresh island air whilst playing a round of golf or taking to the sea to enjoy kayaking and scuba-diving adventures.
Just a forty-minute drive away from Marčana, Rovinj is one of the Istrian peninsula’s most iconic coastal gems. A seaside town with a labyrinth of narrow streets and colourful architecture, here you can relax by the turquoise waters of Lone Bay Beach or enjoy a variety of watersports on Mulini Beach. Later, wander through the enchanting old town before making your way to the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia, where you can take in panoramic views of the ocean and the cluster of tiny islands surrounding Rovinj.
Hiking and biking enthusiasts will be delighted by the region’s scenic trails, which lead out towards the coast or inland through Mediterranean woodland and olive groves. Situated between Poreč and Pula, Vrsar is a small fishing village that is home to several coastal trekking trails. Don’t forget to bring comfortable walking shoes and plenty of water!
History buffs and those searching for a little more hustle and bustle will feel drawn to Pula, Istria’s largest city, located in a valley surrounded by seven green hills. Boasting spectacular views of the shimmering Adriatic Sea and the incredible Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre that dates back as far as 27 BC, the city is also home to lively summer festivals and local markets, beautiful beaches and traditional taverns showcasing some of the region’s finest cuisine.
Roughly forty-five minutes away from Marčana by car, Cape Kamenjak is a gorgeous nature reserve and park at the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula. With dramatic landscapes and a coastline of hidden coves and caves to explore, this is the ideal place to spend the day reacquainting yourself with nature. Later on, head home to Villa Kimora in time for a sunset swim and a glass of Istrian wine in the garden before a night spent relaxing under the stars.
