Villa Alba
Villa Alba is a recently restored old Istrian house with a capacity for 6 persons. In the renovation some original elements such as stone walls and wooden beams on the ceiling were kept in order to preserve the rustic feel. This is a great place to relax while hidden from the crowds, yet still in touch with the modern benefits, because the house offers everything a today’s man needs: WiFi, air condition, an equipped kitchen, cozy furniture… The outside part of the house is as great as the inside and it has a wonderful terrace with a swimming pool in two levels and an eye- relaxing vista. The experience wouldn't be complete without the terrace where you can have a swim in the pool and enjoy a truly astonishing view. Villa Alba is placed in a quiet part of a small central Istrian village and it’s completely surrounded by nature giving you privacy and tranquility.Some of the properties don’t allow youth groups. If you are booking an accommodation facility as a group of young individuals, contact our agency before making the reservation in order to check whether the requested property allows your stay.
Livade are reffered to as the home of the Istrian truffle, where there is a Festival of the Truffle held every year. The Mirna valley and its surroundings are a rich wildlife location. Another interesting fact: in the early 20th century a railway called „Parenzana“ used to pass through Livade and that was important for the people of these parts because it connected them with the cities on the western Istrian coast. It lost its function long ago, but today it's used as a very accessible path for walkers and cyclists. There is so many nearby places worth visiting and here are a few: Grožnjan, a small town with art galeries (one of them was a 14th century smithy, the oldest in Istria); Završje, with amazingly preserved medieval architecture; Oprtalj, praised by the food and wine lovers; in the end there is Motovun, the best preserved medieval town in Istria. Motovun is quiet and calm during the winter, but in summer months it becomes a crowded place that offers various events of culture and entertainment, such as the Motovun Film Festival, hot air baloon races, wine festivals or paragliding competitions.

Four of us stayed in June at Villa Alba in June and were captivated by the natural surroundings and the luxurious villa. From the moment we arrived when we were met by Adrian and Carmela our hosts we knew this would be a special week. The quiet location of this villa located in a spectacular valley overlooking the hilltop town of Motovun is truly a sight to behold, the villa has it all and upon arrival it was clean and welcoming. It was exactly the relaxing break from our busy lives we all needed. The villa is located in a serene location and is within a short drive to many of our Istria’s favourite locations. From here you can visit Pula, Rovinj, Buzet and many wineries and scenic locations in Istria within a half hour drive. A perfect place to rest, relax and experience Istria at the pace we wanted, at the end of each day we looked forward to returning to Villa Alba for a swim, dinner and gorgeous sunset. We absolutely recommend Villa Alba to anyone looking for a spectacular place to stay while enjoying everything Istria has to offer and we look forward to coming back often. Thank you Adrian and Carmela for a wonderful visit to your Villa Alba!

On arrival we were greeted warmly by the host Carmilla, plus her partner Adrian had phoned us the day before to check on our arrival time. We felt very welcomed and were shown in detail all the facilities of the villa. It was very clean and we had everything that we needed for a relaxing two week holiday. The location of the villa is very central in Istria and so we were able to drive to all the places we wanted to visit. The villa has fantastic views across the valley and of the town of Motovun on the hill. There are a few houses nearby, but apart from that it was very secluded. The swimming pool was ideal as it was not too deep and had a shallow shelf to lie on. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a great BBQ as well. The beds were comfortable and all the rooms were spacious. There were also two bikes available for our use and we were able to cycle to the local shop in Livade for bread in the morning. Nearby in the local villages there are many restaurants with Croatian food and we enjoyed eating at the restaurants in Motovun as well. Carmilla visited us after the first week to bring us freshly cleaned linen for the beds and towels for the bathrooms. We would highly recommend a stay at this fantastic villa.

Wunderschöne Villa zum entspannen. So schön wie auf den Fotos! Liebe Gastgeber und toll ausgestattetes Haus. Schöner Blick auf Motovun und tolles Panorama. Top Lage für Ausflüge in Istrien. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit hier und kommen aufjedenfall wieder!

Beautiful old stone house restored with all the modern features. Location is stunning - very isolated with beautiful views and only sounds of nature. It's only half an hour to the coast although we prefer the interior especially during high summer season. Karmela and Adrian are wonderful hosts. The house is equipped with everything one can possibly need, including a telescope - there is an open sky with very little light pollution. We had seven adults in the house and we felt very comfortable, mostly because we spend majority of our time sitting on the covered terrace or around the pool. I would love to come back!
