Villa with large pool in Central Istria

The charming little hamlet of Butkovici offers the perfect opportunity to experience the gentle, relaxed pace of life that to this day is still typical for rural Istria. At only 14 km away, Svetvincenat is an appealing local town with an imposing medieval, stone castle at its heart and a good selection of amenities including a post office and a couple of restaurants. At also 14km away is Vodnjan - a charming town with visible Venetian influence in its many medieval houses and narrow winding streets full of shops and cafes. At around a 20 minute drive beautiful pebble beaches can be found to the north and south of Rovinj, the most romantic town in Istria and popular holiday destination and in Fazana, which has its own lovely harbour from where you can hire boats and water taxis to take you to the beautiful national park islands of Brioni. Be sure to also visit the region capital, Pula, where a magnificent Roman amphitheatre hosts regular film screenings, cultural events and live concerts by famous artists.
