Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Orbani - Villa Erin
Beautiful house, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms sleeps 6/7, close to Porec & Rovinj

This enchanting property with private swimming pool and beautiful stone architecture blends in with the unspoilt countryside. Villa Erin is nestled down a quiet country lane at the edge of the peaceful Hamlet of Radici, yet only a short drive from the coast.

A newly built luxury stone house incorporating original features such as exposed stone walls, terracotta floors, traditional Istrian fireplace and oak beams create a special atmosphere and character.

Villa Erin is a spacious, light and airy south facing property, not overlooked, furnished to the highest standards with all the comforts you would expect from your own home.

A modern kitchen equipped with a full range of appliances shares the ground floor with a double bedroom, twin bedroom, shower room and an inviting open plan living/dining room. The master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and private terrace is upstairs.

Villa Erin is the ideal choice to get away from it all, a chance to relax and unwind in a tranquil location.

Istria has emerged as a must visit destination and was placed number 2 in Lonely Planet’s top 10 regions for 2011 and was named as “best of the world” for 2012 in National Geographic.

Located across the Adriatic sea from Venice, Istria is a heart shaped peninsula hanging in the Adriatic like a bunch of grapes between Croatia and Italy. A land of picture perfect medieval hilltop villages, miles of vineyards, spectacular scenery, historical heritage treasures, stunning coastal towns, a wonderful coastline, with amazing food and wines.

Istria is fast becoming a gourmet’s paradise. The focus here is on fresh, quality ingredients prepared in the old fashioned way where you can savor the most exquisite of Croatia's cuisines. The region boasts fantastic seafood, pasta, olive oil, Croatian prsut (prosciutto), wild asparagus, truffles and much more. Istrian wine is another gastronomic secret. The rich, fertile Istrian soil provides excellent conditions for wine makers to produce the likes of the red Teran and unpretentious Malvasia whites.

We have had a great time at the Villa Erin.
The location of the villa was really convenient to discover Croatia.
The villa was perfect to relax and chill out after sightseeing.
The children have really enjoyed the pool and we were truly amazed by the calm and serenity of the vicinity.
We would love to return one day and would strongly recommend the Villa Erin...

We had a wonderful time in Villa Erin and we are looking forward to coming back one day. It's a perfect place to repose and to relax for there is pure nature all around. The word stopps rushing at that peaceful refugium.
The house is very modern and comfortable. Our children loved it.

Best wishes

A Wonderful Rustic Escape

  • 5 out of 5
  • Review Submitted: 24-Nov-2010
  • Date of Stay: Apr 2009
From The moment Villa Eirn came into veiw we fell in love with it. We arrived on our family holiday in April while the weather was still quite mild as we had a young baby and did'nt want it to be too hot. The Villa itself is large and spacious and contained everything we needed. With its beautiful beams and pen hearth fire it possessed a certain rustic charm thats hard to find in a property let. Tha Villa was spotlessly clean with an excellent supply of fresh clean laundry for our stay, and the exterior wth its functional barbeque and lovely pool was perfect for a relaxing evening chilling in the warm Isrtrian nights. I found the customer service excellent during our time there. The area itsefl is wonderful with a wide array of tourist attractions and fabulous restaraunts catering for everyones palette. One of our favourites being the Limski kanal Fjord, A fantastic restaraunt in a beautiful setting. We toured around quite a bit making our way to the lovely waterside town of ravinj o the stunning picturesque hill top Village of Groznan.
I would highly reccomend this Villa and area as a holiday destination for someone looking for more than the average "package holiday". Its so good we will return someday!

P.S Dont forget to try the roast suckling pig sold at the side of the road or the scrunptous ice-cream parlours throughout the area. It is a truly mouth watering and unforgettable experience.

Best holiday property we have ever stayed in

  • 5 out of 5
  • Review Submitted: 18-Nov-2010

We spent a wonderful holiday in Villa Erin this year and are hoping to book again for next summer.
The property is beautiful, really well equipped, well maintained, spotlessly clean and comfortable with everything you could need. There are some very nice pieces of furniture in the house and you can see that the house has been furnished to the highest standards, not just your typical rental property.
It's perfect for those seeking a peaceful location but yet not in the middle of no where. There are some great restaurants and coastal/mountain villages all within a short drive.
We would go as far as to say it's the best holiday property we have ever stayed in. Just wish we could've stayed longer, but we will be back.

A lovely house in a remote, beautiful area

  • Review Submitted: 09-Sep-2010
  • Date of Stay: Aug 2010
My family and I really enjoyed our holidays at Villa Erin. The house was excellently equipped, and the pool was wonderful! And the villa is positioned in very near to Porec, as well as Rovinji, which are great cities to visit to do some sightseeing and do some shopping. The house itself was in good condition, except maybe not always quite as clean as I had hoped. But it was still in good enough condition. My family would have loved to have air conditioning, but I am personally not a big fan of it. But that could be counted as somewhat of a downside to Villa Erin. The other downside were the scorions that made a regular appearance around the house, which we all found terrifying, as we are not used to seeing them. However, this can hardly be changed. A note in the book with all the informations about the area would have been good, just to know if the scorpions are acutally poisonous, or not. However, otherwise, this book was very comprehensive and an interesting about the history of the area, typical foods, and places that are worthwile to be visited.

So overall, we loved our holiday at villa Erin, and would recommend others visiting as well. Thank you very much.

Antonia.

Owner's Response: I have been in touch with Antonia regarding her feedback to address her concerns. It is of the utmost importance to us that all guests are comfortable in Villa Erin and the property is maintained to the highest standards.

We were very surprised to hear that the house was not as clean as they had hoped. This is the first such comment we have received since renting the house out and this has been passed on to our Property Manager for on going quality checks.

Please note that if our guests have any issues with Villa Erin, we request that this is reported to our Property Manager on arrival and any problems can immediately be rectified.

With regards to the air conditioning, this has never been listed as available and we have deliberately chosen not to install air conditioning in Villa Erin as we believe this is not in keeping with the “olde rustic traditional ” appearance of the property. Fans are provided for warm summer nights.

As the property is in a rural location, it is to be expected that there will be wildlife in the area. We sometimes see scorpions, grasshoppers, crickets, frogs, spiders, etc. Please note that the scorpions and other wildlife in the vicinity are totally harmless. We will arrange for this re-assurance to be included in the guest information for next season; this is an excellent sugestion.

Overall, we are pleased that Antoina and her family loved Villa Erin and had a wonderful vacation. Thank you again for your feedback and recommendation to others.

Regards Siobhan & Michael - Owners Villa Erin

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage

  • Review Submitted: 10-Aug-2012
  • Date of Stay: Jul 2012
Wir haben in der Villa Erin 2 wunderschöne Ferienwochen mit Freunden verbracht. Das Haus liegt unweit des Dorfes Sveti Lovrec in ruhiger und grüner Umgebung. Es ist sehr geschmackvoll und zweckmäßig eingerichtet, Küchenutensilien kann man getrost zu Hause lassen. Am liebsten hielten wir uns natürlich am und im Pool auf, der ausreichend groß ist, um richtig zu schwimmen. Abends lohnt es sich, mal einen Abstecher nach Rovinji oder Porec zu machen, auch der Limski Fjord hat uns sehr gefallen. Alles in allem eine traumhafte Urlaubsgegend. Wir haben unsere Zeit in der Villa Erin sehr genossen. Danke, Siobhan, für die liebevolle Betreuung!

fängt an wie ein Märchen, war wie ein Märchen, genau das, was wir für unseren Urlaub gesucht hatten. Das Haus steht am Ende einer kleinen Siedlung, also sehr ruhig. Abseits von den touristischen Städten, verträumt und idyllisch. Aber nicht soweit weg, dass man sich nicht doch abends mal ins Getümmel stürzen kann. Die Einrichtung geschmackvoll - uns hat es an nix gefehlt.
Die Empfehlungen der Inhaber für Restaurants und Ziele in der Umgebung waren auch sehr gut.
Vielen Dank Siobhan.
