“Welcome to Croatia , the Mediterranean that once was, and land of true differences, where blue and green will inspire your soul “

The country of Croatia is filled with tranquil and picturesque mountains in the North, fertile plains in the East pulsating coastal ports and towns and washed by the warm, blue Mediterranean waters. The shores of Croatia are considered to the cleanest and gentlest beaches in Europe, with incredible coastal landscape, and over 1,000 islands located in the calm waters of the Adriatic which make an ideal location for sailing or diving. Experiences are varied as you explore the magical nature, it boasts as many as 8 national parks, and the abundant rich heritage that is not only found inside the numerous museums and galleries etc, it is visible with every step through the narrow white stone streets, the hillsides and port towns of this wonderful destination.

We have a selection of luxury villas in the heart shaped peninsula of Istria –this area is blessed with unspoilt nature and located in the North of the country. The Istrian villa experience is for the discerning traveller wishing to enjoy a country retreat, which has been re-constructed from old ruins to create a unique luxury villa combining a contemporary style with the old original features.  

In Istria winemaking is very much a part of the life style and traditions, the people enjoy the wine so much that they make a “soup” called “teran” – this is red wine , black pepper, sugar and small pieces of toasted bread with a touch of olive oil, all placed in a terracotta pitcher and drank from mugs by sipping the wine through the bread then finishing off by eating the bread !

The Brijuni islands is one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the Mediterranean, this area offers crystal clear waters, clean shorelines and lively ports with fishing boats and exudes lots of true Mediterranean charm. The Istrian hills offer small peaceful, medieval towns crowning the stunning landscapes. Visit the smallest town in the world – Hum - walk through its narrow streets and enjoy a unique journey to understand the legends of where fairies have been before re-building walls and the “strigas” ( bad witches) who stir up trouble. Take time to chat with the friendly and hospitable local people, who will be happy and proud to tell you a tale or two about Istria.
