With an infinity pool and views over the surrounding natural landscape, Villa Drvo offers a sublime blend of contemporary design with traditional artistry in the quaint, traditional village of Smoljanci.
The main living room features two comfortable sofas and extends to a casual seating area by the fire. A dining table for ten is beside this area, enjoying spectacular views. The kitchen is next to this, with a large central island.
The main interior entertainment is found in the basement: a bar for your drinking desires, a kitchenette, and even a cinema room make this the ideal hang-out spot in the late evenings, while an incredibly well-equipped gym and a large shower create the perfect space for an intense workout!
The gym includes several trainers, a boxing bag, speedball, yoga mat, turbo trainer (on request), steps, and weights—or it can be made up as a soft play area with a Wendy house and slide! There are five bedrooms: three double rooms, all with en-suites and two twin rooms, one with an en-suite. There is also a family bathroom on the top floor. Some have seating areas or even double-door access to a terrace.
In the garden, there is a private infinity pool surrounded by sun loungers. A lawn encircles the pool, creating space for fun and games with the family. There’s an outdoor kitchen with a wood fire and a dining table for ten on the terrace, and even a herb garden to try your hand at recreating a few of the local delicacies! There are also two bikes at your disposal for exploring the incredible local surroundings!
Only 20 minutes from the beach and just over half an hour away from Učka Nature Park, a sprawling protected area with hiking routes leading to canyons, waterfalls and historic sites, you’ll find unspoilt nature a stone’s throw away.

Location:
Villa Drvo is located in Smoljanci, a quaint, rural Croatian village in the heart of the enchanting natural landscape of Istria! You’ll find a few small grocery shops, a pharmacy, doctors, a dentist and a few restaurants and coffee shops in the nearby town of Svetvinčenat, about a 5-minute drive away, as well as a very picturesque castle and a moat! The nearby train station has trains running between Buzet and Pula, and it’s just a thirty-kilometre journey to the heart of the enchanting city of Pula.
Just twenty kilometres away, you can’t miss the delightful Venetian coastal town of Rovinj halfway up the western coastline. Wander the old city, with its Venetian architecture and marble streets and admire the views across the marina before settling for a meal in one of its many beautiful seaside restaurants. And be sure to stop off in Lim Bay while you’re there – a dramatic Fjord stretching for miles inland!
Active holiday-makers will be delighted with the offerings: from windsurfing in Medulin to scuba diving in the Brijuni National Park and rock climbing, hang-gliding and walking in Buzet along the 15km ‘seven waterfalls’ walk, Istria has it all.
Both Rijeka and Pula have international airports within a short drive of the villa, while Pula is the central hub for those getting ferries, although there is a daily ferry between Poreč and Venice.
