Thanks to its spaciousness (4000 m2, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms) and a swimming pool where you can enjoy swimming through the whole day or night, you can use this house for relaxation and as a starting point for exploring the Istrian peninsula. To begin with you can explore Rakalj, a quiet place known in the history of traditional Istrian pottery, and just 3 kilometers away from the villa there is a newly redecorated promenade bearing the name of the famous cellist Stjepan Hauser (2Cellos), whose roots originate from this area. The promenade extends from Kalavojna, across the bay of Luka to the cape Sv. Mikula offering a wonderful view of the untouched nature and spacious blue Adriatic sea, and the authentic smell of the Mediterranean vegetation will restore to your body and spirit its lost harmony. In the promenade you can enjoy morning walks, and if you are an adventurous spirit you can rent a bike or a kayak with additional charges, depending on your preferences. If you want to explore all the beauties of the Istrian peninsula, you can ask for a day or half day excursion with additional charges in which we will introduce you with all the beauties of this region and of course show you some hidden locations known only to the local population ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Bicycles - Kayak - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 2,153 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34200000/34199000/34198992/cfd0755f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vacation paradise Villa Ružmarin: private pool, air conditioning and pure nature!
