Villa Marion
Rabac - Labin - SmoliciVilla Marion is the perfect option for those looking for unique accommodation for their vacation. It is located in the small village of Smolići, not far from Višnjan, and it blends seamlessly with the regional Istrian landscape.
Originally an old farmhouse, Villa Marion was completely renovated in 2024. The focus was on incorporating natural materials from the original house to preserve the historic character and traditional look of the area. Much of the work was carried out by the family themselves, and the carpentry and furniture were handmade by local craftsmen. The villa features a 50 m2 private pool, suitable for relaxation or a refreshing dip, complemented by comfortable sunbeds and an large garden. Additionally, there is a well-equipped summer kitchen with a grill, perfect for family meals and barbecue nights.
The interior of Villa Marion is truly impressive. In the main part of the house, on the ground floor, there is a spacious living room and dining room together with a fully equipped kitchen. There is also a large gallery where you will find a library on one side, and entrance to a spacious bedroom with a double bed and private bathroom, on the other side.
In another part of the house, on the ground floor, there is one large bedroom with two single beds, a sofa bed and a private bathroom. The first floor comprises two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom; one bedroom contains two single beds, while the other has a double bed. On the first floor is also a small kitchen with exit to a large terrace overlooking the yard.
The second floor includes a spacious bedroom with a double bed, a private bathroom, and a large terrace offering sea view.

Wir sind mit drei Familien mit - schon erwachsenen - Kindern mit einer Mischung aus Vorfreude und Anspannung bei der Villa Marion angekommen. Vorfreude, weil die Bilder im Internet so unglaublich schön und vielversprechend waren. Anspannung, weil wir befürchtet haben, dass der Schein der Bilder trügen könnte. Aber das Gegenteil war der Fall. Die Bilder zeigen sehr genau den architektonischen Ideenreichtum, die kluge und liebevolle Gestaltung der Räume bis ins kleinste Detail, den herrlichen, genussvollen Außenbereich mit großem Swimming-Pool und oft benutzter Außenküche. Was man auf den Fotos aber nicht sehen kann, ist die gute Energie, der liebevolle Geist und die herzliche Gastfreundschaft, die Ante und seine Familie dem Haus eingeimpft haben und in der persönlichen Begegnung stets zeigten. Kein Wunder also, dass wir uns eine Woche lang sehr wohl gefühlt haben und die Zeit dort, das Kochen und Essen, das Spielen, das Schwimmen, das Relaxen, einfach alles – in vollen Zügen genossen haben. So sehr, dass viel weniger in Istrien unternommen haben, als wir ursprünglich vorhatten. Es war wirklich schwer, die Villa Marion zu verlassen. Nochmals ein großer Dank an Ante und seine Familie für ihre Freundlichkeit und Großzügigkeit.
Une villa magnifique, on peut très clairement se fier au nombreuses photos de l’annonce! Vous ne serez pas déçu!!! Les hôtes sont super accueillant et expliquent parfaitement le fonctionnement des divers dispositifs et la gestion des déchets… Très propre, beau, et vraiment bien entretenu piscine jardin etc Vraiment une excellente expérience!
"It’s the best villa! Welcome by Ante and his wife was great. During the tour they explained all the details of the villa. Everything is new (summer 2024). We enjoyed every moment. From the comfortable bedrooms (all with an amazing bathroom) to the kitchen, outside kitchen, bbq, tabletennis and ofcourse the fantastic pool. During our stay we were in close contact with the owner (Ante) to get tips for restaurants and what to do in Istria. We would 100% recommend this villa!"
Our group of three families, with kids aged 9 to 21, had an unforgettable summer holiday at Villa Marion. This stunning villa, originally an 1890 farmhouse, has been beautifully renovated, blending modern design with its original charm. The furnishings are top-notch, far better than typical villa rentals, and the villa is equipped with everything you need, including a BBQ grill and a perfect pool area where the teens loved hanging out. The spacious, comfortable rooms have excellent air conditioning, and the thick stone walls kept us cool even during a heatwave. The highlight of our stay was the exceptional hospitality of our hosts, Ante and his wife. They arranged for fresh farm produce and were always available for recommendations or any assistance we needed. Their attentiveness and warmth made our stay even more special. Tip: You must try the local eggs, tomatoes and potatoes (Mona Lisa type) - they are so fresh and delicious! Villa Marion was the best find we’ve had on Bookings.com, and we can’t recommend it enough. It’s a perfect 10, and we’re sure it’ll be booked out next summer!
