With our summer 2025 calendar now open for booking, it is the perfect opportunity to snap up dreamy getaways in some of our most charming vacation rentals around the world for exactly the dates that you have in mind. Take the gorgeous Gianni, an adorable villa in Croatia that is in a pretty little hamlet and only a couple of kilometres from the coast which, as of yet, has all but two weeks free for next summer.

If you’re after both a vacation in Croatia and lush, scenic surroundings that produce delicious food and wine, then we cannot recommend anything more highly than browsing our villas in Istria and planning a getaway in this region. The most developed tourist region in the country, it is most famous for the so-called, “Blue Istria,” of the coast where there are endless lovely seaside resorts to choose from. However, if you head inland to, “Green Istria,” you will find quiet and peaceful little villages bursting with authenticity, a varied landscape of orchards, vineyards, and olive groves, and lots of delicious things to eat and an acclaimed culinary heritage. Therefore, it is well worth going beyond the places many tourists spend time in while on vacation in Istria and discovering the wealth of incredible things to see and do inland. In particular, this is where to head if you want to plan a day at a vineyard during your holiday in Croatia. 

If you are in the market for a sleek and chic modern villa with all of the mod-cons you could ask for, a private pool, a short drive to the beach, easy access to gorgeous and famous towns along the coast of Istria, plenty of space, and all at an incredible price point, then look no further than De Flora.

This four bedroom, three bathroom gem of a villa in Istria sleeps up to nine guests and is located in Galižana, 1km from the centre of town, 5km from the famous town of Pula, and 4.5km from the beach. It offers ample room, with bright, spacious, and modern interiors. Split across three floors, the house actually has two living room and kitchen areas with bedrooms on the same floor on the lower ground and ground floor, making it an ideal option for more than one family travelling together or a group of friends who want to have room enough to cook or do their own thing and have their own space at times. There is also ample room, of course, for everyone to mingle or for a single group or family to all be together while not being on top of each other.
