Villa Paula Drenje, Istria, Croatia

Luxury 9 room holiday house (165 m2) in Drenje with room for 8 people.


Villa Paula - your family home in Sveta Marina! Villa Paula is a uniquely positioned holiday home in the middle of the village, so to speak in the old core. In 2017 the house was completely renovated and equipped with all the amenities that make for a relaxing and luxurious holiday. Spacious outdoor terraces and well-kept lawns, covered barbecue and cooking area with open fireplace, sufficient parking space directly at the house, 4 comfortable bedrooms, each with sea view, 4 bathrooms, a large, modern kitchen with sea view, living room with fireplace and sea view. The combination of traditional architecture with modern comfort is the great specialty of this house. In the holiday home you can expect comfortably furnished interiors that extend from the ground floor, first floor to the attic (sloping roof to 100 cm). A well-tended garden with Mediterranean trees and well-tended lawn precedes the living rooms. Behind the house you will find a beautiful olive grove. The location by the sea, with a view of the Kvarner Bay, the island of Cres and Losinj is terrific, uninterrupted views as far as Rijeka. The house has a rare, very pleasant charm that infects you, that never tires you and always surprises you. It is a pleasure to be in and around the house. Simply ideal to relax and unwind. The best way to relax from the summer heat is to jump into the crystal clear water. The beach is below the house. The house has its own "plaza", a concrete decking platform right on the coast (not exclusive, as beaches in Croatia must always be open to the public). The large public beach of the village is less than 3 minutes walk from the house, also directly under the property. A supermarket and restaurants are located just 350 meters from the house. In a few minutes you can actually walk to everything you need on vacation. The car can stand still…. The region also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine. We are happy to give you appropriate recommendations on our highlights. There is something for every taste and almost every budget. The town of Labin, about a 10-minute drive away, is the hub of the area. A visit to the historic old town with its churches, narrow streets, shops, museums, galleries, bars and restaurants is always worth a trip. In the city market you can experience the hustle and bustle of the regional sellers, there is fresh local produce, excellent meat and sensational fish. The picturesque harbor town of Sveta Marina is located in the Kvarner Bay. This part of Istria is known for its Mediterranean climate, its subtropical vegetation and its unique, unspoiled nature. Sveta Marina is located at the foot of the Ucka massif. The seaside resort of Opatija, which was appreciated by Austrian emperors at an early age, is approx. 40 km to the east, approx. 40 km to the west is the coastal town of Pula with its famous amphitheater, in which first-class theater / music performances take place all year round. There is also an international airport here. This small, former fishing village is far from the major tourist centers of the Istrian peninsula. Time seems to have stopped here. You can still enjoy the tranquility and the original Istria, in its best purity. Sveta Marina lives from its simple simplicity, its still preserved, original character. The few old houses testify to the historical history of Croatia. And yet you will find amenities such as a supermarket, restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors, diving schools, a campsite, SUP and boat rental. Without exaggerating, we can say that the water is “crystal clear”. Kvarner Bay is known for its cleanliness and biodiversity. It is not uncommon to see dolphins here - not only on the open sea, but also in the immediate vicinity of the coast, with the naked eye. Playing and playing the dolphins is always a pleasure that cannot be forgotten. The beach in the village is still not overcrowded, you never have to fear that you can no longer "put a towel in between". A few minutes walk and you will always find a quiet place to devote yourself entirely to sunbathing. Along the entire coast towards Ravni, the next town in the south, there is a road directly along the sea, past picturesque empty bays. All subsequent bays around Sveta Marina can be easily reached on foot. Sveta Marina is not only predestined for pure relaxation. Sports addicts also get their money's worth here.
