Istrian house with a big private garden and a pool

Tucked away in an Istrian village, Marija Virgula is a renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation home named in honor of our beloved grandparents. It's perfect for family vacations, as it offers complete privacy with a spacious private garden with a swimming pool. Centrally located in the Barban area, it's the perfect base for discovering all that Istria has to offer. The town of Barban is just a 5-minute drive away, while the nearest beaches (Uvala Luka, Duga Uvala...) within 20 minutes by car. The space Marija Virgula is a 100-year-old home that once belonged to our grandparents—and proudly carries their name. Thoughtfully renovated in 2014, the house blends traditional Istrian charm with modern comfort. This one-level home (no stairs!) is ideal for families with children, offering both ease and safety. Inside, you’ll find two cozy bedrooms and two bathrooms—one with a bathtub, the other with a walk-in shower. The open-concept living room and kitchen are fully equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Step outside into the spacious private garden, full of fruit trees and natural shade. From May to June, help yourself to fresh, organic cherries straight from the tree, and in September, enjoy sweet grapes from the vines. And of course, there’s a private swimming pool—perfect for cooling off, relaxing, or soaking up the Istrian sun.
