Old Olive I, by the pool

This gem of a property is located in the hamlet Salvela, 1km from the centre of Vodnjan, 7km from the centre of Fažana, and 10km from the centre of the well-known city of Pula, with its Ancient Roman ruins and striking historic centre. Positioned in an elevated and sunny spot, this three-storey modern villa boasts views over the coast from the upper floors and the nearest beaches are just 7km away.


Spacious and elegant, it has six bedrooms and six bathrooms and can sleep up to 12 guests comfortably, making it ideal for family reunions or getaways with a group of friends. Available from €416 - €871 per night, it is quite a bargain for the number of guest accommodated and the luxurious standard of the property. With some weeks still available for the summer months and all of September free, you still have time to snatch it up for a getaway in summer 2023!

Old Olive I, views

The exterior areas of Old Olive I are a massive selling point as it boasts a large and unique L-shaped pool that is surrounded by sun-loungers for long lazy days playing in the water or working on your tan or catching up with a good book. In addition to the loungers, there are several little spots with seating areas that have umbrellas over them or that are tucked into the porch, allowing those who want a little less sun to sit out and observe all the action while enjoying some blissful shade. As well as this area on the ground floor, there are seating areas and loungers and a table (accommodating all twelve potential guests) for outdoor dining on the balconies of the first floor of the property, from which you can enjoy those sweeping and delightful views over the coastline. Finally, there is one lower, recessed terrace behind the pool, with two more loungers for slightly more privacy. All of the garden area is enclosed by walls or hedges and the grounds are neatly maintained with spots of planting and greenery throughout.

The main living space of the villa is also perfectly set up for relaxing and making fun memories. An open-plan space that is designed in a clean, simple and modern way, it features massive windows affording lots of natural light, exits out directly onto that terrace, incredible views, plush sofas, and pops of colour. The sleek kitchen looks over the living room and opens onto a corridor and staircase connecting to the bedrooms.
