Nestled in the picturesque countryside of inner Istria, in the village of Ivetići near Bašići, lies Casa Serena – a holiday home that tells its story through natural materials, traditional architecture, and a touch of modern comfort. This spacious three-storey villa will impress you above all with its outdoor area – a large garden, privacy, and amenities that create the perfect setting for a relaxed, active, and carefree vacation.
The terraced outdoor space is surrounded by greenery, with peace and tranquillity accompanying you at every step. The centerpiece of the garden is the swimming pool, inviting you to cool off during hot summer days. Right next to it, an outdoor jacuzzi offers the perfect spot for evening relaxation under the stars. A covered terrace with comfortable garden furniture provides shade from the sun and is ideal for a long morning breakfast or a candlelit dinner. Children will love the trampoline, slide, swing, and other outdoor play equipment, while adults might enjoy a game of badminton on the neatly maintained court. The entire garden is fenced, ensuring safe play for the little ones and complete peace of mind for parents. Parking is available directly next to the house, in a spacious open-air parking area.
The garden offers the perfect place to read in the shade, sunbathe by the pool, or simply listen to the sounds of nature. You’ll wake to birdsong and the scent of fresh morning dew, while evenings will be spent in good company, with a glass of local wine under the starry sky. The surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for every moment of the day – from morning meditation to evening barbecues.
The villa’s interior spans three floors. The ground floor features a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area, which seamlessly connects to the lounge area, where you’ll find a billiards table, TV, a cozy fireplace, and an extra WC with a washing machine and ironing equipment – everything you need for a longer, comfortable stay. The entire house has wireless internet (Wi-Fi), and air-conditioned rooms ensure a pleasant stay even during the hottest summer months.
On the first floor, you’ll find another spacious living room with a PlayStation gaming console – a favorite corner for both kids and adults. From the living room, there is direct access to a covered terrace overlooking the surrounding nature. This floor also has two bedrooms – one of them with an en-suite bathroom, providing extra comfort and privacy.
Stairs lead to the second floor, where you’ll find two more cozy bedrooms: one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. A shared bathroom is located in the hallway. All rooms are bright, airy, and decorated with attention to detail. The combination of traditional elements – such as stone walls, wooden beams, and handmade furniture – and modern features creates an atmosphere that both calms and delights. Upon arrival, you’ll find freshly made beds in all rooms and clean towels in the bathrooms – ready for you to begin your worry-free holiday.
Casa Serena is only a 15-minute drive from the popular coastal town of Poreč, where you can enjoy swimming, evening walks along the promenade, or exploring historical sights like the Euphrasian Basilica. The proximity to wine routes, hiking and cycling trails allows for day trips throughout inland Istria, one of Europe’s most charming regions. You’ll also find authentic Istrian taverns nearby, offering local delicacies – from truffles and prosciutto to olive oil and regional wines.
This is more than just a holiday house – it’s a place where every moment becomes a memory. Casa Serena offers everything you need for an unforgettable getaway: peace, spaciousness, warmth, safety, modern comfort, and a sense of complete freedom. Whether you’re looking for a perfect family holiday, a romantic weekend, or an active trip with friends – Casa Serena is your new favorite hideaway in the heart of Istria.
