The architectural concept focuses on creating a strong relationship between the interior and the surrounding landscape. Large glazed surfaces, covered outdoor areas and carefully designed garden spaces allow the villa to function as a genuine indoor-outdoor Mediterranean residence.

The ground floor is organised around a bright open-plan living concept. A spacious living room with large glass walls opens directly towards the terrace and garden, while the contemporary kitchen is integrated with the dining area.

The open layout creates a flexible environment for everyday family life, entertaining and relaxation, while the extensive glazing brings natural light into the interior and provides a continuous connection with the private outdoor space.

The property also includes an intercom system, satellite TV, internet connectivity and an alarm system. The villa is supplied with mains water, electricity and municipal sewage, and has asphalt road access.

A defining characteristic of this property is its solid iQwood construction system. This contemporary timber-based construction method is designed to provide structural stability, energy efficiency and natural moisture regulation, helping to create a comfortable indoor microclimate throughout the year.

For environmentally conscious buyers, the construction offers an attractive alternative to conventional building methods. The combination of sustainable materials, energy-efficient design, underfloor heating and modern insulation contributes to lower energy requirements and long-term operating efficiency.

The property holds an A+ energy rating, further reinforcing its positioning within the market for energy-efficient and sustainable real estate in Croatia.

The surrounding area offers numerous opportunities for active leisure and wellness, including cycling and hiking along the Parenzana, visits to Istrian wineries and olive oil estates, local restaurants and konobas, wellness centres, sporting facilities and golf.
