Villa Alba with breathtaking view from swiming pool, HEATED POOL, near Motovun
Villa Alba is a recently restored old Istrian house with a capacity for 6 persons. In the renovation some original elements such as stone walls and wooden beams on the ceiling were kept in order to preserve the rustic feel. This is a great place to relax while hidden from the crowds, yet still in touch with the modern benefits, because the house offers everything a today’s man needs: WiFi, air condition, an equipped kitchen, cozy furniture… The outside part of the house is as great as the inside and it has a wonderful terrace with a swimming pool in two levels and an eye- relaxing vista. The experience wouldn't be complete without the terrace where you can have a swim in the pool and enjoy a truly astonishing view. Villa Alba is placed in a quiet part of a small central Istrian village and it’s completely surrounded by nature giving you privacy and tranquility.
Some of the properties don’t allow youth groups. If you are booking an accommodation facility as a group of young individuals, contact our agency before making the reservation in order to check whether the requested property allows your stay.

Der Aufenthalt in der Villa Alba war von A-Z ein Traum: tolles Haus und Pool, phänomenale Aussicht, überaus nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeber Karmela und Adrian. Wer eine Auszeit in der Abgeschiedenheit und in toller Natur sucht und doch auf etwas Luxus nicht verzichten will, ist hier genau richtig.
Beautiful house and pool, and spotlessly clean. View over the valley and meals outside everyday made for a wonderfully relaxing week. Road up the hill to the property is single track, but fully tarred road and we got used to it pretty quickly. Enjoyed a delicious meal in Livade on our last night. A really great holiday for us all ( 3 teen/student aged "children" and parents) Thank you !
Vi er netop hjemvendt efter en dejlig ferie i Kroatien. Vi kan ikke rose huset, beliggenheden samt værtsparret nok. De var utrolig gæstfrie og særdeles hjælpsomme. Kunne vi give oplevelsen 6 stjerner, så havde den fået 6 stjerner.
Beautiful location, spotlessly clean and excellent facilities
On arrival we were greeted warmly by the host Carmilla, plus her partner Adrian had phoned us the day before to check on our arrival time. We felt very welcomed and were shown in detail all the facilities of the villa. It was very clean and we had everything that we needed for a relaxing two week holiday. The location of the villa is very central in Istria and so we were able to drive to all the places we wanted to visit. The villa has fantastic views across the valley and of the town of Motovun on the hill. There are a few houses nearby, but apart from that it was very secluded. The swimming pool was ideal as it was not too deep and had a shallow shelf to lie on. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a great BBQ as well. The beds were comfortable and all the rooms were spacious. There were also two bikes available for our use and we were able to cycle to the local shop in Livade for bread in the morning. Nearby in the local villages there are many restaurants with Croatian food and we enjoyed eating at the restaurants in Motovun as well. Carmilla visited us after the first week to bring us freshly cleaned linen for the beds and towels for the bathrooms.
We would highly recommend a stay at this fantastic villa.

Wunderbare Erholung in schickem Haus mit bestem Blick und tollem Pool
Das Haus bietet alles, was man zu einem entspannten Urlaub braucht. Es ist toll ausgestattet, sehr gemütlich eingerichtet, sehr gepflegt, verfügt über ein schönes Grundstück, welches ebenfalls sehr gepflegt ist. Der Pool war für uns dank der zugebuchten Poolheizung jeden Tag ausgiebig zu nutzen. Sonne konnte man auf den zahlreichen Liegen in aller Ruhe genießen. Der Blick übers Mirnatal ist traumhaft. Mit unserem Hund konnten wir schöne Spaziergänge in die Natur unternehmen. Da Trüffelsaison war, kamen wir auch kulinarisch voll auf unsere Kosten. Vielen Dank an Adrian und Karmela für die sehr freundliche Betreuung! Wir kommen gern wieder.

Einfach perfekt zum Entspannen!
Wir haben den Urlaub in der Villa Alba sehr genossen, die Ruhe und der fantastische Blick ins Mirnatal haben uns schon am ersten Tag unseren Alltgsstress vergessen lassen. Das Haus ist perfekt eingerichtet, die Zimmeraufteilung ideal für uns und unsere Tochter. Der riesige Kamin im Wohnzimmer hat uns gleich sehr gefallen und wurde von uns voll genutzt - da zu Ostern noch kälter als normal. Karmela und Adrian sind perfekte Gastgeber, jederzeit bereit für Anfragen und hilfsbereit. Wir fanden es so schön dass wir im Oktober wieder kommen möchten!

very nice and relaxing house in the hills with a great view
Very friendly owners who welcomed us in the house and explained everything. The house is very nice, in the hills above Livade with a great view over the landscape of the vale of Mirna, in the distance is Motovun to see. The house is stylish, modern and comfortable. Our three children had a lot of fun in the pool. One highlight was the telescope with which Saturn could be observed at night. In the nearby Livade there are two restaurants in which truffles can be enjoyed and a small supermarket. You can easily make trips to Motovun, Groznjan, Porec or Rovinj. We had a great, relaxing week at Villa Alba!

A truly beautiful house with fantastic views
This is a truly beautiful house, with fantastic views of the valley, while nestled into the lovely Istrian countryside. The house has been sympathetically renovated, maintaining the original charm of the old house.The Owners were really friendly and helpful, and on arrival made us feel like we were old friends staying in their beautiful house.The house and pool/pool area are beautifully furnished, and well thought out. The location is idyllic, with walks straight from the door (Parenzana Railway Track Route for example). The historical hill top town of Motovun is only 10min drive away, the nearest supermarkets approx. 25mins drive away. The lovely town of Rovinj 50mins, Pula 1hour drive away, yet when you are in the house you feel like you are miles from anything.We can totally recommend this house.
