Overview
A modern masterpiece boasting four en-suite bedrooms and an infinity pool, Villa Sanja is a striking home in the hills of the Kvarner coastal region, just minutes from the many idyllic beaches along the coast!
This beautiful home puts a modern twist on the classic traditional style of the region, with stone interior walls and elegant wood flooring throughout. The living spaces are fabulously designed in a semi-open plan style, with a living area that wraps its way round to the dining area alongside the kitchen, making for excellent conversation flow throughout the space. This incredible kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest mod cons and a delightful contemporary style, with a large island which doubles as a breakfast bar, while the accompanying formal dining area can seat the whole group. This immense living area is the perfect place to put your feet up and relax, with a big L-shaped sofa in front of a modern TV, all flooded with a warm, natural light from the wall-to-wall French doors beside it which give views right out to the sea!
When it’s time to rest, head to one of the four sublime bedrooms, all of which ooze luxury and comfort, with a king-size bed stretching across three of them, and a set of two single beds in the final bedroom. Two of the double rooms share a fantastic terrace with two sets of casual sofas and chairs in the sun, both gazing out over the sea and Krk island in the distance! These two rooms also feature a desk and a large wardrobe. Meanwhile, the twin room has its own private terrace access, with a set of two enchanting seats. All four rooms benefit from magnificent en-suite bathrooms, including a series of truly sumptuous walk-in showers!
And finally, step out into this exquisite garden, where your spectacular infinity pool twinkles under the sun! Loungers around the pool are ideal for sunbathing, all while enjoying these sea views. There’s an outdoor shower beside the pool where you can rinse off in between dips. Leading straight out from the kitchen, there is a superb alfresco dining area, with two long benches around an immense wooden table and sea-views for miles!
With various cafes, restaurants and markets under 5km away and several beaches within 10km, you won’t have to venture far to find everything you could need during your stay!
What’s more, the thriving city of Rijeka is only 20 minutes away, and promises a rich array of events, cultural sites and more choice for dining, drinking and socialising. The region is also rich in cycling and hiking routes which wind their way through all kinds of forests, waterfalls and historical sites, perfect for those who enjoy a little nature!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SanjaNestled just back from the coast and overlooking the sea, Villa Sanja is ideally located for tons of activities in the stunning north of Croatia. You’re about 5 minutes from the bridge that will take you over to the enchanting island of Krk, nicknamed the ‘golden island’! With a whole range of landscapes, from the barren north to the verdant bays of the south, this is a fascinating place to venture to the many coastal towns and even try some of the local wine, ‘Vrbnička Žlahtina’! It is a perfect destination to enjoy a little snorkelling thanks to its rich coastline, and bike paths criss-cross their way across the whole island, promising a memorable day of adventure for all!
The thriving city of Rijeka is just 20 minutes to the north. Restaurants, cafes, markets, hotels, hostels, a port and a fantastic beach, offers tons of facilities and interesting spots to visit. As well as this, a major train station here can connect you to major cities across the country, including Zagreb, the capital, while you can also head around the northern coastline towards the picturesque coast of Istria.
Just an extra 10 minutes up the dazzling coast is Opatija, where you can stroll along the Lungomare promenade, or even pop into the Croatian Museum of Tourism! Once a seaside resort for the Austro-Hungarian elite, in the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Opatija remains a popular destination for those seeking a picturesque and peaceful Croatian coastal town with a little more to it than just a beach!
For a fascinating day trip full of history, stunning architecture and a lively metropolis, plus the option to take an incredibly scenic coastal route there, just over an hour and a half away is Pula, the largest city in the region. In early September the city comes alive with music and cultural events, many hosted in its ancient Roman Amphitheatre!
As a former part of the Venetian Republic, Istria has seen many rulers from the Romans, Byzantines and Austro-Hungarians to the Italians and Yugoslavians, giving it a rich history and a world-famous culinary scene, not to mention its breath-taking natural landscapes! Much like its neighbouring Italy, Istria is a gastronome’s paradise, home to world-class cuisine and endless rows of vineyards. Be sure to try the local wines, which are often sweet and fruity, using a wide variety of grapes.
Just 11 minutes away is Rijeka International Airport, while Pula Airport is also only around 1.5 hours away, and both cities are major hubs for those getting ferries.

With high chairs available, even the youngest of guests will be well accommodated. Indeed, this fabulous array of onsite facilities, plus so much to explore nearby, means you can guarantee to make memories to treasure as well as a little peace and quiet while the kids get stuck in!
This section of the coastline provides many opportunities to rent boats, snorkelling and scuba equipment and to enjoy the pristine beaches and bays. Meanwhile, further inland among the deep green, rolling mountains there are some of the most beautiful cycling and hiking trails in Europe, including across the Krk island just a 6-minute drive away!
Just a little further north in Istria, you will find many activities specifically designed for families, including the two sensational water parks of Aquapark Istralandia near Novigrad and Aquapark Aquacolors in Poreč.

Highly recommend!
Great house, great location, very well maintained, very nice and coordinated facilities, view from the house and pool is spectacular. The supermarket is not far away, the island of Krk is easy to reach because the location is very central, also for bays and beaches by the sea. Highly recommend and would gladly come again. Landlord is very nice and accommodating.

A truly wonderful place to stay.
Villa Sanja is a truly wonderful place to stay. The owner went above and beyond for us of which we were very grateful. The villa was exceptionally clean and everything was in perfect condition. The villa was well laid out and has a large upper terrace with beautiful sunset views! The outside dining area is perfect and the swimming pool and terrace also perfect. Everything is very clean and is in excellent condition. The owner clearly takes great care of this property. We so enjoyed our stay and I will never forget the view from the infinity pool. Thank you for a great week!
