A house big enough for everyone you love.
One house in the hills of Istria — nine bedrooms, twenty places at the table, a heated pool in a walled olive garden, and a villa manager a phone call or message away.

A day at the house
The week finds its own rhythm.
Morning
Breakfast happens at scale. The kitchen was built for it, and the long tables seat all twenty at once — no shifts, no waiting.
Afternoon
The pool is heated from spring; by June nobody gets out before dinner. Coast days are a short drive west, calm evenings wait inland.
Evening
Dinner stretches long in the outdoor lounge, and the hot tub hums on the stone terrace until someone finally says goodnight.
The house
Room to be together. Room to escape.
Nine bedrooms
Enough doors to close that grandparents, toddlers and teenagers each get their own pace — and their own quiet.
Seven bathrooms
Oak, travertine and hot water for everyone — the morning queue simply never forms.
Gym & games
Billiards, table football and a PS5 for rainy hours — and a gym with an olive tree in the window next door.
Built for children
A playground under the trees, ping-pong in the garden, and 1,200 m² of fenced lawn to run on until dinner.
The sand court
A hedge-lined sand area for volleyball, boules and barefoot ball games — big enough for the whole group to pick teams and settle the week's rivalries.
The village
Višnjan is a working hill village, not a resort.
The bakery is a 300-metre walk. The west coast — Poreč and its beaches — is a short drive. Mornings split between pool and coast; evenings come back inland to the long table, where it is quieter and the sky is darker.
