Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LovroThis villa is perfectly placed in Košinožići, within a tranquil garden setting close to Poreč. With its charming main square inside the Old Town, winding charming cobblestone streets, Roman walls and colourful cafes Poreč is like a step back in time. There is a harbour where you can go on a boat trip to spot dolphins during technicolour sunsets.
Around Poreč there are plenty of stunning beaches, such as Borik beach, which is less than a kilometre from Poreč. Enjoy a swim in the dazzling crystalline waters and take a stroll along the fine white pebbles. At this beach you can play mini golf or beach volleyball. This beach is accessible for wheelchair users and it is very family friendly. You can also enjoy a great view of the Old Town from Borik beach.
Poreč also has a city beach which is popular thanks to its easy access from the town. For a more wild, natural beach, blue-flag Oliva beach is superb. The beach is on the island of St. Nikola and accessed by a five-minute boat ride from the harbour. Oliva has a forest of oak and pine trees, a pebbly shoreline and a calm atmosphere.
The villa is part of Istria, which has Italian influences, as it is just two hours from Venice. It's so easy to hop across the border and spend a day exploring and enjoying some authentic Italian cuisine during your holiday. Istria's heart-shaped coastline is so picturesque and the area is a little less touristy than other destinations in Croatia.
The Euphrasian Basilica is one of the most important sights in the Istrian area. It is a World Heritage Site and dates back to the 6th century. The basilica was inspired by Byzantine art and features breathtaking blue and gold mosaics, carved arches and geometric marble designs. Climb up the bell tower to get an outstanding view of Poreč. For more culture, check out the Zuccato Gallery and admire some vibrant art in a Gothic palace. There's an array of temporary exhibitions bound to capture the imagination.
Istria is famous for its tasty regional cuisine and fresh ingredients. A local favourite is pljukanci, a hand-rolled pasta dish served with all sorts of sauces. In the winter, the aroma of hot roasted chestnuts wafts around the main square. Istria is also famous for its wine you can tour many vineyards in the area and sample Refošk or Malvazija by the glass as you look out over the rolling countryside and rows of grapes.
Brijuni National Park is a fantastic day trip for the whole family, an archipelago of 14 small islands that can be reached by boat from Fazana or Pula, Istria's capital. The islands are famous for their natural beauty and indigenous flora and fauna. Before you arrive you will enjoy a scenic boat ride with views of the southwestern peninsula before you reach the archipelago. There are dinosaur footprints in four areas on the largest island, Viliki Brijuni, and several other archaeological wonders to discover.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis villa is a lovely space for children to relax they'll adore swimming in the private pool and bouncing on the trampoline in the garden. There's space for them to roam free within the safe confines of the villa and enjoy downtime in the living room.
Poreč is a lovely town for kids to explore, with its cute cobblestoned streets and lovely harbour. A leisurely stroll around town and popping into cafes for an ice cream should keep them busy for a while. They can imagine being back in the Roman era and go up the Euphrasian Basilica to enjoy the view over Poreč.
Aquapark Istrialanda is just a short drive from the villa. It's perennially popular with kids of all ages, thanks to its 20 water rides and the largest wave pool in the Mediterranean. Daredevils will have an excellent time zooming along the high-energy water slides. Little ones get their own dedicated pool with a water castle, pirate ship and some smaller water slides. The park has enough to keep little ones and teenagers alike entertained for a whole day.
For lots of kids on holiday, it's all about the beach days. While the Istrian beaches are characteristically pebbly or made up of fine rocks rather than sand, they're certainly beautiful. Some beaches are shallow and ideal for kids who want to go swimming in the sea. Borik beach is especially well suited for kids. They can get involved in sports on the beach or there is a dedicated Kids Club that they can attend.
For a little more adrenaline-based adventure, take them to Glavani Park, with its soaring high ropes course that span a range of heights. They can zoom along a 113 metre-long zip line, which goes through the treetops. Children can also cross the adrenaline-pumping Devil's Causeway suspension bridge.
Dinopark Funtana is the ultimate place to take kids who are fascinated with dinosaurs there are moving life-size dinosaurs and circus shows. There are plenty of activities for kids to try, like a dino-themed shooting range. The park is currently being renovated, but will reopen in April in time for summer holiday fun.
