Stone villa with soul!

Only two kilometers from the sparkling Adriatic coast, hidden in the quiet charm of a picturesque Istrian village near Krnitsa, stands a stone villa of rare warmth and authenticity. There are facilities that simply provide lodging, and there are those that quietly tell a story through every wall, every stone and every carefully restored detail. This wonderful family villa clearly belongs to the second category.

Surrounded by peace, Mediterranean greenery and the eternal atmosphere of rural Istria, the villa offers an exceptional combination of traditional character and modern comfort. Once an original Istrian stone house owned by the same family since the early 1900s, which was lovingly and comprehensively renovated in 2019 by the youngest generation of its owners, who sought not only to restore the residence, but also to preserve its soul, adapting it to the expectations of modern housing.
