Villa Issa

The exterior space is a true celebration of Mediterranean serenity. A stunning infinity pool stretches along the sun-drenched terrace, merging with the horizon and the lush green landscape below. From here, guests can enjoy an enchanting view of a hilltop town in the distance, while the scent of pine and lavender drifts through the air. Elegant loungers, soft fabrics, and terracotta pots filled with greenery create a tranquil rhythm of relaxation. The heated pool ensures enjoyment even during cooler months, while the shaded outdoor dining area invites long evenings filled with laughter, wine, and fresh local flavors. A manicured lawn below the terrace opens toward the forest, offering an idyllic space for children to play or for quiet yoga sessions at sunrise. The outdoor sauna completes the experience – a peaceful retreat for body and mind. The entire property is enveloped in privacy, with panoramic views that shift in color and tone as the day unfolds.

Inside, the villa radiates harmony and timeless style. The open-plan living area connects directly with the terrace through large glass doors, flooding the space with natural light and creating a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. The design balances modern minimalism with warm accents – soft neutral tones, natural textures, and golden details that add a touch of sophistication. A contemporary kitchen with an island and high-end appliances flows into the dining area, where a long table overlooks the infinity pool and the surrounding countryside. The spiral staircase, a statement of elegance, leads to the upper floor where four beautifully designed bedrooms await. Two feature king-size beds and two queen-size, each with its own en-suite bathroom, TV, air conditioning, and balcony with breathtaking views. Fine linens, subtle lighting, and bespoke decor ensure ultimate comfort and intimacy. The bathrooms reflect the villa’s refined aesthetic – spacious, modern, and finished in stone and glass with a soft play of light that feels both calming and luxurious.

Located in Buje, often called the “gateway to Istria,” Villa Issa offers proximity to both the coast and the heart of the Istrian countryside. The area is known for its vineyards, olive groves, and charming hilltop towns such as Grožnjan, Motovun, and Brtonigla. Within a short drive, guests can reach the crystal-clear beaches of Umag and Novigrad or explore the region’s gourmet treasures on the Istrian Wine and Olive Oil Roads. The surroundings invite a slower pace of life – morning walks among olive trees, lazy afternoons by the pool, and sunsets that bathe the landscape in golden light. Villa Issa is not just a place to stay; it is an experience of space, light, and tranquility – a refined retreat where luxury feels natural and effortless.
