Villa Amanda is a bright and airy villa with pool set in a beautiful area within easy reach of pretty coastal towns like Rovinj & Porec and medieval hilltop towns like Groznjan, Zavrsje, Orptalj, Motovun and Momjan all close by for exploring.  This bright & airy villa with pool is the perfect place from which to explore the region as it gives you the best of both worlds.

This is a very ‘foody’ area the local cuisine is so varied with the farmers’ markets nearby specialising in wild mushrooms, truffles and game and of course, the abundant seafood on the coast. There are also vineyards everywhere producing a plethora of delicious award winning wines – Croatia won 10 gold medals at the 2018 world decanter competition! .

For the more adventurous there is mountain biking, white water rafting and horse-riding nearby. Try Glavani Park for a fabulous day out with the kids , if they enjoyed places like Go Ape this place blows them out of the water they have climbs/jumps even a human catapult ! staff are well trained and a joy. Take a picnic as they don’t have restaurant facilities usually.

This is  also an area that is favoured by artists and musicians. The hilltop town of Groznjan is called the town of artists, once mostly derelict buildings, the town has been rejuvenated and is now full of artist studios craft shops galleries and exhibitions – beautiful cobbled streets are full of atmosphere with far reaching views to the sea.

Beautiful Porec is also so near – just a short drive away. beautiful colourful buildings and markets full of fresh produce. Open air concerts and festivals to suit everyone throughout the year.

If you want to go to the beaches there is a tourist train that goes from Porec along the Antun Štifanić Promenade to Zelena Laguna ( 15 mins) . or you can walk along in the shade of the pine trees during the day. During the summer months you can stop and rest at one of the many cafes and bars, catch your breath on a bench or play on the sports grounds along the promenade. Zelena Laguna has a blue flag beach and lots of restaurants and amusements for families including a large Aqua park in the shallows for children.
