Amidst olive groves and vineyards, under the Mediterranean sun, a tranquil lifestyle awaits you. Just about an hour away from Pula Airport and the Italian Trieste, this small, exclusive residential complex is nestled in the peaceful village of Škrinjari. The boutique collection of five eco-luxury villas, four of which are for sale, has been carefully designed for those seeking a balance between nature, comfort, and refined living. What makes this project so special: All villas are constructed entirely from wood – an absolute novelty in Istria and a clear statement for sustainable building at the highest level. The villa on offer here (no. 2), which faces north-east, impresses with its quiet location and views of the countryside. It combines modern design with Mediterranean lifestyle on two floors. On the ground floor, the spacious, open-plan living area with a modern kitchen, cozy lounge area, and direct access to the covered terrace with outdoor kitchen is convincing. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows bring light and nature into the house and open the view to the private pool with adjacent sun deck. The connection between indoor and outdoor space is seamlessly designed and underscores the relaxed, open lifestyle. A guest toilet and a practical wardrobe in the entrance area of the villa complete the room offering on this level. On the upper floor, you will find two almost identical bedrooms, both with their own en suite bathrooms. The two rooms are separated by a central staircase, which provides additional privacy. The master bedroom also boasts a private, covered balcony with a view of the green Mediterranean landscape. The thoughtful room layout, combined with high-quality construction and natural materials, ensures an exceptionally pleasant living climate all year round. Directly at the house are two private, covered parking spaces and a spacious technical and storage room accessible from outside. Sustainability is at the heart of this project: The entire construction is based on solid, glue-free wooden elements in iQwood construction, which not only provides energy-efficient insulation but also a healthy indoor climate, making it particularly suitable for allergy sufferers. Underfloor heating, operated by a heat pump, and the preparation for e-charging stations complement the ecological concept and ensure optimal comfort and low operating costs. Live the Mediterranean dream – sustainably, beautifully, and well-connected, whether as a holiday residence or a long-term retreat.
This high-quality new villa is located in one of the most sought-after areas of Northwest Istria – just a few minutes’ drive from the Adriatic coast. Nestled in green hill landscapes, you can enjoy soothing tranquility here and at the same time have optimal access to the popular coastal town of Umag, known for its well-maintained old town, marina, and ATP tennis tournament. There is a wide gastronomic offer here – from traditional taverns with homemade Istrian specialties to modern restaurants with international cuisine. Cafés, boutiques, and small markets enliven the town and invite you to stroll. Novigrad, Poreč, and the romantic Rovinj are also easily accessible and invite you to culinary discoveries, cultural events, and beach experiences. In just about 10 minutes, you can reach the nearest bathing bay or one of the modern marinas that offer moorings and numerous boat trip options along the Istrian coast. Cycling and hiking enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy on the many natural trails in the area, especially the gentle hills in the hinterland of Istria, inviting you to hikes, cycling tours, and excursions to medieval villages like Grožnjan or Motovun. Golfers will find a challenging 18-hole course with sea views at the nearby Adriatic golf course in Savudrija. Additionally, the area features renowned wineries, olive oil producers, and charming country inns that invite you to taste their homemade fine wines and culinary experiences, making the region a paradise for connoisseurs. The excellent infrastructure makes the journey particularly convenient: Pula Airport can be reached by car in about an hour, Trieste Airport (Italy) is about 90 kilometers away, and Venice International Airport (Italy) is about 190 kilometers away. The connection via the well-developed Istrian highway network is also excellent, making this location attractive not only for vacationers but also for long-term stays or weekend commuters.
The combination of idyllic nature, proximity to the coast, high-quality leisure options, and excellent accessibility makes the location of this sustainable design villa a true insider tip in Istria – ideal for those who seek tranquility and quality without wanting to forgo infrastructure and experiences.
