Villa Meli  

In the Istrian countryside of Sveti Lovreč Pazenatički, roughly 11–28 miles from Poreč, Rovinj and Pula. One source also places Villa Meli in a central Selina spot near Trieste landmarks such as Nereo Rocco Stadium and Fiera Trieste.

A spacious four-bedroom villa with terrace, balcony and garden views. The living room has a fireplace and satellite TV; the equipped kitchen makes self-catering easy. The property includes four bathrooms (one with a hot tub and a bath); towels and bed linen are provided and room equipment can vary by category.

Take a dip in the infinity pool or the outdoor pool, relax in the hot tub, or fire up the barbecue. On-site features include a terrace, garden, darts and free private parking. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and staff speak English, Italian and German — wake up to garden-view mornings on the terrace.

An on-site restaurant plus a barbecue area cover casual meal options, while the equipped kitchen lets you cook at will. Local dining scenes in nearby Poreč, Rovinj and Pula are an easy drive away.
