A Modern Ode to the Istrian Landscape
Conceived as a minimalist retreat for two, this newly built villa forms a sleek, geometric silhouette in contrast with the organic beauty of the ancient olive groves and vineyards around it. It's interiors are a study in texture and tone, defined by a soft, earthy palette, polished concrete, and warm woods. An open-plan living space is anchored by a modern fireplace, while curated decor and bespoke lighting create an atmosphere of understated luxury.
The villa’s 85 square meters include a single king-sized bedroom, a modern kitchen that flows into the living area and out towards the terrace, and a stylish bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundary between the villa and its private, enclosed garden. The manicured lawn and native plantings frame the 40m² swimming pool.
This vacation home for rent in Istria sleeps up to two guests (plus a small child).
