Hi! I am Tanja, a mother of two who enjoys quiet time, preferably here, at Villa Millefoglie. When I am not walking, writing, photographing and painting, I am further elevating Villa Millefoglie to make your stay more meaningful. Turning what was once a ruin into a home began as a passion project by my in-laws and has grown into an adventure I share with my husband, Marin. We poured our love into the renovation and care of this unique home and continue to nurture it into a place of restoration and inspiration for ourselves and our guests alike – a haven to retreat, gather and celebrate life.
Why they chose this property
Located on the edge of a small village that stretches along a country road, well within the Učka Nature Park, Villa Millefoglie is perfect for those who crave the wilderness.
It is surrounded by quiet little roads and paths that will take you from vineyards and olive groves to mountain peaks or the sea, as well as around the wonderful rural households that spread across the peninsula. The neighbourhood takes particular pride in Hum, the smallest city in the world, and the delicious gastronomy in this truffle kingdom, with the nearby town of Buzet as its crown.
Although Villa Millefoglie is surrounded by lush countryside, the nearest shop is only a kilometre away, and there are at least 7 or 8 restaurants and taverns within 5 km. Look for the Danilea tavern at the other end of our village, the only tavern in the aforementioned Hum, the Kolinasi tavern in the nearby village of Rim, or the one in the small village of Roč, also not far from the house.
Please also note that there are many marked walking and cycling paths, tracks and roads surrounding our village, which you are sure to enjoy.
The nearest airport is 35 km away in Rijeka, and the nearest beach is only 20 km away, in Ičići.

What makes this property unique
This century-old Istria home nestled within a nature park is your invitation to pause and celebrate life.
Originally built in the early 1900s´ as a barn with a living area above it, the house was a ruin when our family fell in love with it and chose to bring her spirit back to life. Eager to make it our home away from home we began renovation in the early 2000s´ and shortly, where trees were growing from dirt up through the wall shafts and vast open ceiling - there came tiles, windows, and a roof. In the years that followed we slowly furnished the house mainly with family heirloom furniture, adding to its comfort with some new pieces and vintage details, considerate of the lived-in feel of the home we felt deeply present and were determined to preserve.
As you walk through the front door you are overflown with nostalgia and instantly taken away to another time and place. We are sure if these walls could talk, they’d tell many captivating tales, but we find that even so they easily awake the imagination and encourage daydreaming. As our days of leisure in it lined up, we realized that we had to preserve its magic, so we decided to share it with our guests to provide funds for its maintenance.
The pristine beauty of the surrounding nature and the garden itself, particularly the wild vine and wisteria climbing up the facade inspired the name Millefoglie which translates from Italian to a thousand leaves. It is our way of honouring the layers of her rich history, luxuriant environment, and loving efforts of restoration and care that all play together in creating her, in our eyes, irresistible appeal.
