It has a stone-built barbecue and serving area. It is so attractive and atmospheric.
 
The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space is so trendy with fabulous materials, furniture and light effects. You may well be open-mouthed gazing at the incredible design. The staircase is intriguing, stunningly modern and beautiful. Fantastic use of glass has been made in this villa though the designers have also cleverly managed to make it feel warm and cosy. One of the dazzling bathrooms is on the ground floor.
 
Upstairs you will find three incredibly luxurious bedrooms, each with a pristine, sensational bathroom. One of the beds is a king and the other 2 doubles.

Location:

Sveti Lovrec has just 60 people living there. It is so quiet but full of history with charming, attractive buildings. There are three churches, the church of St Lawrence built in the 8th century, the parish church of St Martin’s Basilica with its amazing frescoes and the church of St Blaise built in 1460, again with the most incredible frescoes.
 
The villa is 15km south of the wonderful hilltop town of Labin. Labin has two parts, the rambling, cobbled streets and quaintly restored, pastel houses of the Old Town and the new town at the bottom of the hill which contains most of the shops. The Fortress Fortica on top of the town boasts an amazing, panoramic view of the rocky Cres Island and the special resort of Rabac below. Labin has a wealth of picturesque coffee shops, fine seafood restaurants and a rich cultural life including summer jazz and classical concerts.
 
Trget is a small fisherman’s village in the bay of Rasa, close to the villa. It is very pretty with a charming harbour. You can enjoy fresh anchovies, seafood salads, tagliatelle with scampi and delicious, grilled scampi at the village tavern.
 
Just below Labin, Rabac has a pretty, white pebble beach and delightful waterfront promenade. Girandella Beach is a sheltered cove and proudly waves a Blue Flag. There are many cafes and restaurants as well as fun watersports. The inflatable iceberg sea playground is fabulous. Boat trips sail from the harbour to the island of rocky island of Cres.
 
When staying at Villa Alopa you will also want to visit Pula with its magnificent Roman amphitheatre which rivals Rome’s Colisseum and the romantic, historic Rovinj. You will need your camera to photograph the pretty Old Town and the buzzy Farmer’s Market. The 192 steps of the Church of St Euphemia’s bell tower are worth it to admire the fantastic views.
