It is situated in Rusnjak, 1 km from the village of Brkac, and 3 kms from the medieval hilltop town of Motovun.

The area is famous for its excellent wine and truffles. There is a golf course and riding stables close by. Full of character, the villa has been designed and built to the highest of standards and benefits from breathtaking views over the vineyards and green hills of mid-Istria.

The pool (11 x 9m) has both a sun terrace and shady pavilion. There is also a large covered dining terrace with barbecue and bread/pizza oven, as well as an antique 16th century stone sink. The interiors are spacious and have been decorated and furnished in a tasteful, traditional style. There is one bedroom at ground floor level and the other two bedrooms are on the first floor, accessed by a curved staircase within a stone tower. All the bedrooms open to private outdoor spaces. Amenities include TV, DVD, CD player and under-floor heating.
