A cosy hideaway in the lush Croatian countryside, Stonehaven Retreat is a rural retreat that oozes relaxation and tranquillity. Perched in the southern part of Istria in the small town of Sisan, sit back and unwind as you soak up the local life. You’re just a short walk away from quaint cafes, Istrian-style restaurants, and international eateries. A short drive away is the pebbled beach of Uvala Kale, where you can lazily float on its crystal-clear waters or unwind on the gravelly shore. Further afield is the bustling ancient city of Pula, filled with crumbling churches, archaeological sites, and plenty of restaurants for refuelling after sightseeing. Outside, the sun-drenched terrace will instantly transport you to holiday mode, enclosed with a rustic stone wall for added privacy. The sun-lounger lined swimming pool is perfect for transitioning between a cool swim and sunbathing in the warm Croatian sunshine. With an alfresco dining table and barbecue set up under the rustic veranda, spend balmy evenings with dinner and drinks on the terrace. Recently restored to maintain its authentic Croatian character, this traditional stone country house is an antique treasure trove on the Istrian peninsula. Built over 100 years ago, Stonehaven Retreat has its feet planted in tradition and is a beautiful example of original Istrian architecture with its rustic stone exteriors and pastel-hued shutters. Stonehaven Retreat is divided into two separate cottages, each with their own open-plan living and kitchen spaces. The interiors are coated in history, with exposed brick and stucco walls and wooden panelled ceilings. We’re in awe over the original fireplace that takes centre stage in the living rooms, surrounded by wicker furnishings, plush sofas, and antique décor. The kitchens are as cosy as they can get, keeping with the country-chic design with old wooden cabinetry paired with modern appliances. In each cottage are bedrooms classically designed with oak beds, exposed beams, and incredible views over the rural landscape.

Uncover the wealth of Roman architecture throughout the city of Pula, with the well-preserved 1st century Roman Amphitheatre as the star attraction. Dominating the bustling streets of this lively Istrian city, the limestone-built amphitheatre, which originally hosted gladiatorial contests, is the ultimate venue for summer concerts and festivals and it can hold up to 20,000 spectators. Pula offers a contrasting modern side too, with fantastic shopping opportunities, lively bars and an attractive marina. The picturesque, horseshoe-shaped Pula Bay is the ideal spot to unwind by the Adriatic Sea, with pretty pebble stones backed by a rugged terrain. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try snorkelling or diving? There are plenty of family holiday activities to try in Pula, and the city has great transport links to rest of Istria’s radiant region, including the breath-taking Brijuni Islands which can be accessed via a short boat trip from nearby Fažana. 15 min walk Show walking distance options 15 min walk 30 min walk 45 min walk 15 min drive Show drive distance options 15 min drive 30 min drive 45 min drive Map settings Map style Street Hybrid Satellite All Restaurants Beaches Things to do Shopping All of our villas are handpicked by our experts for their quality and location, and have also been safety checked for your complete peace of mind.
