Dream villas in Croatian Istria?! Have you ever wondered why others are always enjoying dream villas in the middle of olive groves, while you are left with a sun lounger on the balcony? Maybe it's because they booked on time. And because you don't follow the world's largest lifestyle media outlet enough.
Sure – dream villas in Croatian Istria for €6,000 a week sounds like a luxury that only entertainers, entrepreneurs and Instagram goddesses can afford. But before you throw up your hands and pack your tent, take a minute. One such villa usually accommodates 6 people. Which means – €1,000 per person. For the whole week. In complete privacy. With your own pool. No crowds. No screaming neighbors. No reserving sun loungers at seven in the morning. But this week only, you can easily pay 1/3 of the regular price – as pre-season prices still apply! Or for the whole house, just a little over 1000 euros for the entire week. How?!
That is spring price, which is only available for this week. After that, prices go up – in many places by 200 %! So: what you book today for €1,000 will cost you at least €2,000 in a few weeks.
The best part? The villas aren't just luxurious – they're also truly convenient. They all have:
- private pool and garden
- fully equipped kitchen (yes, even for those who swear by their coffee)
- air conditioning and Wi-Fi that actually works
- 10–15 minutes away from the most charming Istrian towns and beaches
And if you still think that's too much? Compare it to a hotel. In high season, you'll pay more for a hotel room with a park view - and that's for one person. No pool. No kitchen. No feeling of “this is all mine!” …
