Overview
Located in unspoiled southern Istria yet close to beautiful beaches and villages, Casa Jarilo is a rather remarkable contemporary paradise in peaceful surroundings.
Built in 2018 on a plot measuring 10,000 square metres, this modern villa offers luxurious and stylish holiday accommodation, ideal for a large family holiday or reunion with friends. Each of the five sumptuous bedrooms has a beautiful en-suite bathroom, allowing guests privacy, yet the open-plan aspect of the ground-floor lounge and dining space is perfect for convivial living.
The villa is modern, with smart glass technology in some bathrooms, a Smart Android television and top-of-the-range kitchen appliances. However, the owners have taken great care to ensure only natural materials were used when possible with local stone, combed oak, high-end Italian tiles, the very best linen and fine furnishings throughout.
The list of activities for all ages is endless, with a sauna, gym, and billiard room inside, whilst outside, you’ll discover the heated pool, playground, mini-golf course and multi-purpose sports court for whichever game you fancy – football, tennis, basketball or volleyball. You may prefer to just kick back and relax on the beautiful outdoor furnishings with many al-fresco terraces to choose from, whilst keen cooks will love preparing local delights in the idyllic summer kitchen, the perfect place for long meals into the night with a good local wine!
It will be hard to leave your paradise, yet there is so much of Istria to explore. Sample some of the country’s finest olive oil in historical Vodnjan (eight kilometres), take part in the summer festivities in the pretty village of Svetvinčenat (nine kilometres), see the impressive Roman amphitheatre in Pula (twenty kilometres) or head north to idyllic Rovinj (twenty-seven kilometres) with its old town perched above the sea. There are pebble beaches with calm crystal clear waters just sixteen kilometres from your villa, and you can take a boat trip to the nearby islands of Brijuni, which have the most intensely stunning beaches.
After a day exploring you’ll be delighted to return to your luxurious abode where you can be sure of the most comfortable, relaxing and private stay in this stunning part of Istria.
What you should know…

About the surrounding area of Casa JariloIn an unspoiled part of Istria, the local village of Juršići is within easy reach, where you will find a grocery shop and bistro. It’s an isolated and peaceful area filled with olive groves yet within a short drive you can be at the beach or visiting some delightful Istrian towns and villages.
The nearest beaches are just by the fisherman’s village of Fanzana (fifteen kilometres), which has calm, crystal clear waters. Slightly further north is Peroj, which has beautiful views over the Brijuni islands. If you are enticed by the lure of wild and rare nature, then take a boat trip from Fanzana to the nearby islands of Brijuni, which are not only surrounded by the most intensely stunning beaches but are also covered in greenery boasting rare wild plants, including wild cucumber and more.
Historical Vodnjan produces some of the best olive oil in the country and has a restaurant known to be one of the best in Istria. Don’t miss Svetvinčenat, with a programme of summer events to entice visitors to the charming village.
History lovers will especially appreciate Pula and its impressive Roman amphitheatre, a venue for concerts and festivals in the summer. Alternatively, head north to pretty hilltop villages such as Motovun, a pretty medieval hilltop village famous for its truffles.

Whether you're seeking adventure in nature, indulgence in culinary delights, a glimpse into history and culture, or simply a warm and inviting atmosphere, the peninsula of Istria has it all.
Istria's diverse and unspoiled landscapes will be the first thing to capture your attention! The region is renowned for its lush green hills, rolling vineyards, and enchanting coastline: the stunning scenery is a playground for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and beachgoers alike.
Offering a remarkable 445 kilometres of pristine coastline, including tranquil coves and sandy beaches, visitors can find plenty of secluded spots to soak up the sun. The clear, azure waters of the Adriatic are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy an active day of water sports.
Venture inland and you'll discover picturesque villages set amidst rolling hills and verdant forests. Istria is home to over 30 nature reserves - an absolute haven for hikers and cyclists, with an abundance of well-marked trails to explore. The Učka Nature Park, in particular, stands out as a hiking and nature lover's paradise, offering waterfalls, historic villages, and breathtaking panoramic views of Istria's outstanding scenery.
Istria's rich history is woven into the fabric of its towns and cities. An ever popular choice for tourists is the impressive port city of Pula, full of quaint town squares and local restaurants, and home to one of the most well-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. This ancient arena, known as the Pula Arena, is a testament to Istria's Roman heritage and hosts numerous events, including concerts and film festivals.
The medieval towns of Rovinj and Motovun enchant visitors with their cobbled streets and historic charm. The Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning example of early Christian art and architecture.
Istria's culinary scene is a treat for the taste buds: the region is famous for its truffles, particularly the elusive white truffle, and you can savour dishes infused with this prized delicacy in charming local restaurants across the region. Wine and olive oil lovers will find joy in Istria's vineyards and olive groves, offering tastings and insights into traditional production methods. Fresh seafood, often served with a Mediterranean twist, is a staple that you can enjoy at quaint waterfront eateries along the coastline.
One of the most enduring memories visitors take away from Istria is the warmth of its people. The locals are known for their friendly, welcoming nature and their willingness to share their traditions and stories with tourists. You'll find yourself immersed in the local way of life, whether you're exploring ancient towns or enjoying a meal in a family-run tavern.
Istria is easily accessible, with Pula Airport serving as a major gateway. Once you arrive, navigating the region is a breeze with well-maintained roads connecting major towns and villages.

An exceptional villa, unforgettable stay and amazing hosts!
We arrived at the villa early and the hosts were very welcoming and agreed to meet us early at the villa. They did a small tour of all the rooms (and there are many) and showed us all of the facilities. We quickly realised that the villa had everything one may need! There was a sauna, jacuzzi, swimming pool, tennis court and childrens playground. All of the equipment, including kitchenware was new! The bedrooms were very stylish and each one was different from the other. The bathroom equipment was very modern and comfortable to use. The villa has numerous AC's, so it kept the villa in a good temperature during the hot Croatia summer days. WiFi signal was good, but on the second floor we had to switch on/off to get signal. The jewel of this villa is the beatiful BBQ area, where we spent numerous evenings. Cooking and having dinner there was a very pleasant experience, since the area is very thought through and well equipped. The villa and our stay was amazing. The hosts were fantastic and made us feel very welcome. They were always in touch and ready to give us advice of where to go and what to visit. They made our stay unforgettable! We highly recommend this villa for those who want to spend an amazing time in Croatia!
