Villa Oliva is set on a hilltop amid vineyards and olive groves, with sweeping views over Istria’s green hinterland and the Adriatic Sea on the horizon. An elegant country house for eight persons, discreetly tucked away in the peaceful village of Krasica near Buje. Everything here revolves around space, tranquillity and comfort – a place where life naturally slows down and time is enjoyed together, far from crowds and bustle.
The house blends classic elements with a refined, contemporary finish. Indoors, the atmosphere is light and spacious, with natural materials, soft tones and high-quality detailing throughout. The open-plan living area forms the heart of the villa: a comfortable seating area by the fireplace, a large dining table for long, lingering meals and a modern country-style kitchen that invites shared cooking moments.
Villa Oliva offers four en-suite bedrooms. Three are located on the first floor, two of which – including the master bedroom – have direct access to a balcony with spectacular views over the rolling hills. The fourth bedroom is on the ground floor and opens onto the main terrace. Additional indulgence comes in the form of a Finnish sauna and a fully equipped fitness room, ideal for those who like to stay active or unwind with yoga even while on holiday.
Outside, the large saltwater swimming pool is nestled among olive trees, alongside a covered dining area with barbecue, a lounge for coffee in the morning sun and inviting spots to sit beneath the stars in the evening. It is the small details that elevate the experience: a private wine cellar stocked with local wines, an honesty bar and a library, while authentic local experiences can be arranged with care.
In the immediate surroundings you will find good restaurants, shops and local markets, while culinary highlights, wine routes and charming towns such as Grožnjan and Motovun – where the owners run their own wine bar – are just a short drive away. The beaches of Novigrad and Umag can be reached in around 20 minutes, and even the Italian city of Trieste is only an hour’s drive. Villa Oliva is therefore perfectly suited to families or friends seeking an elegant base in an authentic corner of Istria.
