4-star hotels in Sveti Lovrec Pazenaticki
A shortlist of the 4-star villas in and around Sveti Lovreč Pazenatički, in inland Istria, for travellers who want a villa base with a pool between the village and the coast.
Staying in Sveti Lovrec Pazenaticki
Sveti Lovreč Pazenatički is a small village in the interior of Istria, about 15 kilometres east of Poreč and 20 kilometres south of Pazin, set in a hilly area of vineyards and forests. It is not a resort town and keeps a working agricultural character: the compact historic core has a few shops, a post office, a school and the Church of St. Lawrence, around which the village developed. The area is known for rural tourism, walking, cycling and local Istrian cuisine and wines, with the Adriatic coast at Poreč and Vrsar within easy reach by car, along with the Lim Channel, Rovinj and the hilltop villages of Buje and Grožnjan.
These villas sit in the hamlets outside the centre, 2.4 to 2.7 kilometres away. Four are on Selina addresses: Villa Famiglia, Villa Terlevic, Villa Ruza, Villa Sana and Villa Luna in Selina, while Villa Janko, Villa Natale with Private Pool and Garden and Three Bedroom Apartment Mir with Private Infinity Pool are on Zgrabljići addresses. The setting suits couples and families on a quiet short break who want space, a private pool and a garden, and who will drive to the coast and to dinner rather than walk to it.
