Recently restored to maintain its authentic Croatian character, this traditional stone country house is an antique treasure trove in Croatia’s Istrian peninsula. Dating back from 1907, Villa Stargazer has its feet planted in tradition and is a beautiful example of the original Istrian architecture. Just look at the rustic stone exteriors and red terracotta roofs, with interiors that transport you back in time. The stone-brick walls and wooden panelled ceilings are coated in history, with the living space oozing a delightful charm. An old-style brick fireplace is a picturesque addition to the living room, overlooked by two antique striped sofas, old-fashioned décor, and a wooden bookshelf. The kitchen is as cosy as it can get, keeping with the country-chic design with old wooden cabinetry and retro-style appliances. Follow the wooden staircase to the two spacious double bedrooms featuring oak beds, exposed beams, and incredible views over the landscape. The top floor has a loft for some added privacy, with a snug twin bedroom. Nuzzled in the dense Istrian peninsular, Villa Stargazer showcases the best of Croatia’s natural beauty and is the essence of country living. Perched in the thick countryside, you’ll be in awe of the sweeping panoramas of lush greenery, fragrant woodlands, and rolling green hills that go on for miles and miles.
