Safety in Villas Borghetto

Safety has become one of the primary concerns while traveling. With global pandemic still being an issue, a celebration in privacy of a villa with your closest ones is an ideal option for optimum safety. Istria was considered to be a safe-travel destination during 2020, and this trend even improved during this year. Borghetto properties are a part of the nation-wide program Stay safe in Croatia, which guarantees that our facilities operate according to current recommendations of the World Travel and Tourism Council. We took this matter one step further, so a Borghetto safety kit will be waiting for you upon arrival for additional safety.

Tailor-made experience

Holidays are always too short, so you should really maximize the time spent with the people you love. With our 5* level service, now you can. Apart from the beautiful property, privacy and maximum safety, you can also expect a worry-free celebration because of our custom concierge services, here to provide you with a top-notch personalized experience.

A New Year’s Eve party requires a luxurious dinner. You won’t have to bother with cooking or leaving the privacy of the villa, because our in-house private chefs can make all your culinary dreams come true. Experience the rich local gastronomy, characterized by truffles, fresh seafood, world-class wines, homemade pasta and exceptional cheese, and customize it to your wishes. Going to a supermarket or a winery to get that perfect bottle of bubbly champagne for this special night won’t be a concern either, because of our fridge-stocking service.

And is there a better way to start a new year than with a relaxing massage? We don’t think so. You don’t have to leave the property to do this, because your concierge can arrange a perfect massage for you inside the homey and warm atmosphere of the villa. Warming hot stone massage, relaxing prenatal massage, full body detox or Guam mud treatment are just a taste of what awaits you with our Borghetto massage services.

Also, all your transportation needs can be taken care of if needed, whether it is the pick-up from the airport, taxi to visit the nearby sights, or car rental to explore the region.
