Perched above 15,000 m² of private Istrian forest and vineyard land, this villa earns its seclusion. The infinity pool seems to hang above the canopy – something you feel just as keenly after dark, when the terrace floods with light and the evening stretches on. Inside, the double-height dining space and glass-lined living room make long, unhurried nights the natural rhythm here. A private sauna and concierge services – such as wine tastings, yacht charters, and a private chef – mean you can shape the stay entirely to your own pace. Motovun's hilltop medieval streets are twenty minutes away, and the Istrian Wine Route threads through the vineyards just beyond your door.

Home truths

  • While two of the bedrooms and two of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

  • At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

  • Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.

  • If you're travelling with a baby or toddler, your host can provide a cot, high chair, baby bath, baby monitor, and safety gates. You'll need to request these in advance.

  • The en-suite bathtub sits within the bedroom itself so privacy will be limited.

  • The villa sits in a quiet, forested area well outside any town centre, so you'll need a car to reach restaurants, shops, and local sights. There’s free parking here.

  • Construction work is ongoing in the area around the home. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay.

About Istria

Croatia’s northern peninsula, jutting out into the cool blue of the Adriatic Sea, has been a traveller favourite for decades. The region’s capital, Pula, is home to an ancient Roman amphitheatre, as well as family-run restaurants serving rustic fare from the hillside farmsteads around Istria and delicious local wines from the region’s vineyards. The coast is dotted with swimming platforms and rocky outcrops to stretch out on after a dip...
