Looking out over the towns of Momjan and Buje from the hilltop village of Merisce, Casa Celestina has uninterrupted views of central Istria and the Adriatic. This 100 year-old Istrian house, perfect for a romantic couple, has been beautifully restored retaining its interior stone walls and beamed wooden ceilings, with the addition of locally crafted worktops and terracotta flooring. There are wonderful views from the large terraces on the ground and first floor (accessed from the bedroom) over the surrounding vineyards and olive groves. A week at Casa Celestina starts from £500 with Croatian Villa Holidays.
