Overview
Perched on a hill in the Istrian countryside and commanding spectacular valley views, Villa Bottega is an elegantly sprawling 6-bedroom estate comfortably accommodating up to ten adults and three children. This stunning retreat nestled in the picturesque Croatian countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, is an enchanting escape for family and friends.
Upon entering the villa, guests are welcomed by a sweeping staircase and expansive living room adorned with plush furnishings, multiple dining areas and flooded with natural light coming in from panoramic windows. Adjacent to the living area, you’ll find a tastefully designed open kitchen with all the amenities to whip up a Mediterranean salad or a holiday feast for family and friends.
A children’s room featuring three single beds can also be found on the ground floor, complete with its own en suite bathroom. Throughout the rest of the villa are six double bedrooms, each with their own en suite to ensure no guest goes without a taste of true privacy and opulence. These beautifully appointed bathrooms come with all the necessary amenities for a spa-like experience to match the comfort and relaxation of your room.
Stepping out of doors, guests are treated to a lavish wrap-around terrace offering beautiful seating and dining areas. Buffeted by lush gardens bright with flowers, no matter where you perch on the terrace, you’ll find the serenity of a subtle spot or the scenic extravagance of valley views elapsing over vineyards and olive groves.
From the terrace, follow the winding path down to the sizable garden house and swimming pool, with deck chairs, a lounge area, al fresco dining furniture, a summer kitchen and a barbecue. Work up a sweat in the villa’s private fitness centre or putting on the minigolf course before diving into the cool, turquoise pool.
What you should know…
- The pool is unfenced, so be mindful of children playing in the vicinity.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa BottegaThe villa’s countryside location near Croatia’s border with Slovenia makes it rich in leisurely walks and bike rides in easy proximity. Take off into the surrounding valley to discover its many wonders, including the astounding Zingarella Waterfall (30-minute walk), Momjan Castle (30-minute walk), or Waterfall Butori (100-minute walk).
Despite the villa’s rural setting, there is ample opportunity for wining and dining close at hand. Indeed, there is a market and several restaurants within an easy 30-minute walk, not to mention the Kabola winery (30-minute walk), where you can enjoy a guided tasting of Istrian varietals.
Croatia’s Adriatic coastline is deceptively close (21-minute drive), making day trips to “blue Istria” an easy task. The coastline brims with colourful seaside villages such as Novigrad (25-minute drive) with its crescent-shaped pebble beach.
Even closer to home, the medieval town of Grožnjan-Grisignana (17-minute drive) is a former 14th-century Venetian fortress turned quaint cobble-stone village. Today, it is the hub of Istria’s thriving art and music scene.

Region
Nestled along Croatia’s enchanting Adriatic coastline, Istria welcomes visitors with open arms and a rich tapestry of experiences waiting to be unraveled. Whether you're seeking adventure in nature, indulgence in culinary delights, a glimpse into history and culture, or simply a warm and inviting atmosphere, the peninsula of Istria has it all.
Istria's diverse and unspoiled landscapes will be the first thing to capture your attention! The region is renowned for its lush green hills, rolling vineyards, and enchanting coastline: the stunning scenery is a playground for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and beachgoers alike.
Offering a remarkable 445 kilometres of pristine coastline, including tranquil coves and sandy beaches, visitors can find plenty of secluded spots to soak up the sun. The clear, azure waters of the Adriatic are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy an active day of water sports.
Venture inland and you'll discover picturesque villages set amidst rolling hills and verdant forests. Istria is home to over 30 nature reserves - an absolute haven for hikers and cyclists, with an abundance of well-marked trails to explore. The Učka Nature Park, in particular, stands out as a hiking and nature lover's paradise, offering waterfalls, historic villages, and breathtaking panoramic views of Istria's outstanding scenery.
Istria's rich history is woven into the fabric of its towns and cities. An ever popular choice for tourists is the impressive port city of Pula, full of quaint town squares and local restaurants, and home to one of the most well-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. This ancient arena, known as the Pula Arena, is a testament to Istria's Roman heritage and hosts numerous events, including concerts and film festivals.
The medieval towns of Rovinj and Motovun enchant visitors with their cobbled streets and historic charm. The Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning example of early Christian art and architecture.
Istria's culinary scene is a treat for the taste buds: the region is famous for its truffles, particularly the elusive white truffle, and you can savour dishes infused with this prized delicacy in charming local restaurants across the region. Wine and olive oil lovers will find joy in Istria's vineyards and olive groves, offering tastings and insights into traditional production methods. Fresh seafood, often served with a Mediterranean twist, is a staple that you can enjoy at quaint waterfront eateries along the coastline.
One of the most enduring memories visitors take away from Istria is the warmth of its people. The locals are known for their friendly, welcoming nature and their willingness to share their traditions and stories with tourists. You'll find yourself immersed in the local way of life, whether you're exploring ancient towns or enjoying a meal in a family-run tavern.
Istria is easily accessible, with Pula Airport serving as a major gateway. Once you arrive, navigating the region is a breeze with well-maintained roads connecting major towns and villages. Language barriers are minimal, thanks to the widespread use of English, Italian, and German, alongside the local Croatian language.
Istria’s unique blend of pristine landscapes, rich traditions, and warm-hearted locals creates an experience that will linger in your memories long after you've returned home.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesGiven Villa Bottega’s sprawling grounds and easy access to surrounding nature, children can explore and discover wonders for themselves. Of course, such adventures will only become apparent once the children have exhausted the swimming pool, minigolf course, table tennis table and garden house.
For a full day of water-based fun, there’s Aquapark Aquacolours (40-minute drive), a large amusement park near the town of Poreč considered to be one of the largest in southeast Europe, and features water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and kids corner.
For a more personalised day of fun in the sea, a wide selection of water sports are available in Umag (27-minute drive). Here, you’ll find jet skiing, boat rentals, paddle boarding, parasailing, banana boating and windsurfing, just to name a few.
