Traditional stone semi-detached house with private pool in the heart of Kaštelir

Kaštelir is one of the charming, traditionally shaped villages of western Istria, located around ten kilometres northeast of Poreč. The house is situated in the established village centre and combines the authentic life of an Istrian village with proximity to the Adriatic coast. Its elevated position offers views across the green landscape; from the second floor of the house, the sea can even be seen on the horizon in clear weather. Kaštelir is characterised by Mediterranean vegetation, olive groves, vineyards and agricultural land. The region is known for its local wines and high-quality olive oils. Family-run producers, agriturismi and wine cellars invite visitors to discover Istria’s culinary side. Traditional konobas and restaurants can also be found nearby. The location therefore offers an attractive combination of tranquillity, regional authenticity and a well-developed culture of fine food and wine. At the same time, the coast is quickly accessible: the municipality of Kaštelir-Labinci is only about seven kilometres from the sea. The beaches and leisure facilities of the Poreč Riviera are therefore within easy reach. Poreč, with its historic old town, UNESCO-protected Euphrasian Basilica, restaurants, cafés and shopping facilities, is only about a 15-minute drive away. Novigrad and Vrsar, as well as the hinterland with its medieval hilltop villages, wine routes and natural attractions, can also be easily explored from Kaštelir. For active food and wine enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers numerous opportunities for cycling and hiking. The landscape between Poreč, Vižinada and the Mirna Valley is characterised by gentle hills, vineyards and olive groves. The nearby Parenzana, a former railway line now serving as a cycling and hiking trail, combines nature and history. The location in the village centre is particularly appealing for a holiday home or second-home concept: village life, local restaurants and everyday amenities are close by, while the beach, sea and tourist infrastructure of the west coast remain easily accessible. Even outside the high season, Kaštelir retains its peaceful Mediterranean character. This location thus combines authentic Istria—with its stone houses, olive trees and vineyards—with the Adriatic coast, its beaches, historic coastal towns and diverse leisure opportunities. An ideal base for anyone wishing not merely to visit Istria, but to experience it as a second home.
