We enjoyed a super week at Villa Melli. The property is modern, very spacious, perfectly equipped and very clean. The owner is welcoming and friendly. The location is ideal if you have a car: Novigrad, Porec and Rovinj easily accessible, plus the mediaeval town of Motovun, which you can see across the mountains from the villa. Istria is a fabulous alternative to Italy and the south of France - it deserves to be elevated as a tourist destination for Brits.
