Villa Martin - Countryside Retreat with Pool

Welcome to Villa Martin, a beautifully renovated Istrian stone house offering the perfect combination of traditional charm and modern comfort. With 175 m² of living space and a private 26 m² swimming pool, this peaceful retreat accommodates up to 10 guests, perfect for families or groups seeking a relaxing countryside getaway.

Originally built in 1961, the villa still showcases authentic Istrian stonework, now complemented by thoughtful extensions and a complete renovation in 2017. Set in the quiet village of Kringa, just 20 km from the sea, it offers the best of rural tranquility while keeping the coast within easy reach.

The villa features two floors of bright and inviting interiors.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a spacious open-plan area where the fully equipped kitchen, dining space, and living room come together.

The kitchen has everything you need: oven, stovetop, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, drip coffee maker, toaster, and kettle.

The dining area enjoys large windows overlooking the pool, while the cozy living room features exposed stone walls, comfortable sofa, and a 65" SMART TV with free Netflix and Prime Video.

This floor also includes a bathroom, laundry room (ideal for storing luggage), and direct access to the outdoor terrace.

Upstairs, there are four comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom
Bedroom 1 – Double bed and a fan
Bedroom 2 – Two single beds and a fan
Bedroom 3 – Double bed, air conditioning, and balcony with village and garden views
Master Bedroom – Double bed, air conditioning, private bathroom, satellite 42” TV with streaming services, desk with two chairs, safe, and a balcony with the same beautiful views

With a private swimming pool, sun loungers, and umbrellas, the outdoor space is ideal for unwinding and enjoying the open air. A BBQ grill and a dining terrace invite long alfresco meals, while a separate covered lounge area is perfect for evening drinks.

Private parking is available for two cars inside the property, with an extra space just outside.

Whether you’re unwinding by the pool, enjoying a barbecue under the covered terrace, or exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby coastline, Villa Martin offers a serene escape with everything you need for a memorable Istrian holiday.

Holiday Aug 2019

First off impressions upon arriving of Villa are that it was true to the pictures and information that are listed on Homeaway Wesbite. One downside is that the property is listed as having AC. This is true for downstairs and the 2 master bedrooms upstairs however the 2 remaining bedroom had no AC. The owner provided fans when asked which did help but this should be stated on the villa information. Nice and central, 20 mins from Porec, 25 mins Rovinj. Fabulous restaurant 2-3 mins walk from the Villa which is also great for children (need to book). As for the Villa owner probably the best I have seen over the years. Attentive to every detail to the point that they sorted out birthday cake for my daughters birthday. Thank you.

Holiday Istria 2021

The property is well located in the middle of Istria and there are a lot of beautiful cities nearby. Also the house is in a quiet area. It is very clean and the house has everything you need. It definetly matches with the given description of this property. The property owner is very kind and questions are answered in shortest time. It is also to be noted that the property owner supplies you with good informations about the area of Istria where you can go and visit. A big thank for the wine and self-made cake he brought to us during our stay. We had such a good time at Villa Martin and definitely enjoyed our stay!

Schöner Urlaub

Bei der Villa handelt es sich um ein schönes Haus, in dem man eine wunderbare Zeit verbringen kann. Zwei Familien können, Dank Pool, gut relaxen. Hier und da hätte das Haus kleine Schönheitsreparaturen nötig. Der Gastgeber und seine Familie sind sehr bemüht und stehen jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung. Die Reaktionszeiten sind sehr kurz. Ein besonderer Dank geht an die Mutter, die mit selbstgebackenen unseren Aufenthalt versüßt hat.
