Explore Istria
Discover the rich flavors of Istria with a visit to Bacchus, a charming wine bar near the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč. Enjoy a glass of local Malvazija, Muškat, or Refošk on the rustic terrace while savoring homemade platters of Istrian delicacies — smoked ham, cheese, olives, and seasonal seafood. For a true taste of tradition, sample rakija in its many local variations.
Head to the Lanterna Peninsula for a day of sun and sea. The Blue Flag beaches of Valeta and Crnika offer crystal-clear water, gentle access points, and full amenities — ideal for families and those seeking a peaceful swim surrounded by nature.
Outdoor lovers will enjoy cycling the historic Parenzana Trail, a scenic route that once connected Trieste to Poreč by rail. Today, it invites hikers and cyclists to journey through forests, vineyards, and hilltop villages, with panoramic views and charming rest stops along the way.
Just outside Višnjan, visit the world-renowned Višnjan Observatory, where low light pollution offers a clear window into the cosmos. Join stargazing events or guided tours in several languages and be inspired by the beauty of the night sky.
For an underground adventure, explore the magicalBaredine Cave. Guided tours reveal stunning chambers, subterranean lakes, and rare cave animals like the curious olm, all just a short drive from the coast.
Families and thrill-seekers shouldn’t miss Aquapark Istralandia, a sprawling water wonderland just outside Novigrad. With over 20 slides, a massive wave pool, and attractions for all ages, it promises a full day of fun and excitement.
Restaurants
Just a 5-minute walk from the villa, Konoba Borgonja serves traditional Istrian cuisine in a relaxed garden setting. It’s a reliable local favorite offering quality dishes—perfect for a casual and delicious dinner close to home.
If you’re looking for a more upscale experience, head to Konoba Hrast in Poreč. This elegant seaside restaurant specializes in fresh fish and seafood, served with stunning views right by the water.
POREC
An ancient seaside town with nearly 2,000 years of history, Poreč is anchored around a charming harbor and framed by a maze of cobbled lanes, Roman monuments, and Venetian palaces .
The centerpiece of the old town is the Euphrasian Basilica, a 6th-century Byzantine jewel and UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its stunning mosaics and preserved early-Christian architecture .
Stroll the scenic waterfront promenade shaded by pines, browse lively squares, and soak in the Mediterranean atmosphere. Rich in cultural heritage and vibrant local life, Poreč is a delightful blend of history and coastal charm
ROVINJ
Perched on a peninsula along the Adriatic, Rovinj is a charming blend of historic allure and vibrant coastal life. Once a fortified island, its enchanting old town is now connected to the mainland and defined by narrow, winding alleys, pastel Venetian-style buildings, and a picturesque waterfront dotted with fishing and sailboats.
At the heart of town rises the Church of St. Euphemia, its slender bell tower offering panoramic views that stretch across red-tiled rooftops to the shimmering sea . Nearby, the Batana Ecomuseum preserves Rovinj’s maritime legacy with traditional wooden boats and engaging workshops .
Rovinj is also a gateway to the Istrian coast: a cluster of smaller islands lies just offshore, pine-shaded promenades invite sunset strolls, and high-quality seafood restaurants line the harbor. Ideal for leisurely days of exploring cultural sites, boat trips, and indulging in Mediterranean cuisine.
UMAG
Though its roots go back to ancient times, Umag is best known for its preserved medieval charm. Traces of its past can be seen in the old city walls, narrow stone streets, and elegant Venetian villas. The historic Old Town, once an island, became connected to the mainland in the 10th century when city walls and a drawbridge were built. The best-preserved structure is the West Tower, now home to the Umag City Museum.
At the town’s center lies a lively square with the Church of the Assumption of Mary, a peaceful spot surrounded by history. Just outside Umag, in Savudrija, stands Croatia’s oldest lighthouse, built in 1818. Legend has it that an Austrian count had it constructed for a Croatian woman he fell in love with, though she sadly never saw it.
Umag also hosts a variety of events throughout the year. Sole Fish Days celebrate local cuisine each autumn with four-course menus in select restaurants, paired with Istrian wine and olive oil. In October, Welldayspromote wellness through hotel spa packages, offering a relaxing off-season getaway.
Music lovers can enjoy the UmagoBlues festival and the Umagination electronic music event, while sports enthusiasts flock to the ATP Croatian Open Umag, a major tennis tournament held every July. Whether it’s tennis, football, golf, or music—there’s always something happening in Umag.

About us
The investor for the overall project is the Wander business group from Munich-Planegg. The Wander group is a medium-sized, owner-managed company network whose main focus is on the development, management and marketing of its own real estate properties. The Wander group has been in existence for over 40years and has in this time developed a total building area of more than 500,000 m².
The Wander business group has been investing in Istria since 2002 and throughout this period, it has realised a large number of projects. By virtue of its activities, it has amassed a unique body of experience in the development of typical Croatian real estate properties.
Our passion is Croatia and our mission is to function as a reliable, specialist contact for fans of Istria – to whose number we also belong – who wish to purchase their own property, with the same quality concepts that we apply in Germany and with which we have been satisfying customers for many years.
From the initial meeting to the building and layout plans and on to the final handover and comprehensive after-sale support, our multilingual team will accompany you every step of the way towards your own property.
Trust-based cooperation is of great importance to us and we will support you as your partner until your dream home is complete.
The Wander business group organises the Istria project with the companies m – kvadrat Adria d.o.o and BM.-Projekt d.o.o., both based in Porec. With their own personnel, they can also offer you a full range of services for the upkeep of your property. From swimming pool, cleaning and gardening services to rental, we possess an excellent network of reliable partners, and remain happy to be of service to you even after the sale.
We are also a small tourist agency,Big international web sites have several intermediaries between them and the actual villa owners and no idea on what they are selling. Unlike them, we provide first-hand local information and support. Working directly with the villa owners, we are able to provide the best service. All villas are personally inspected and photographed to ensure that they are up to standard and have accurate descriptions displayed on our website. We handpick only the best villas, as well as the nicest owners and villa hosts.

What makes this property unique
Discover Višnjan
Nestled in the rolling hills of western Istria, just 12 km from Poreč and a short drive from Novigrad, Višnjan is a charming village rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. With roots dating back to Illyrian and Roman times, this peaceful town still bears traces of its medieval past, including its iconic Venetian gate.
Višnjan is best known for being home to one of the world’s most renowned observatories. Thanks to the low light pollution in this part of inland Istria, astronomers here have discovered over 1,000 asteroids, around 100 minor planets, and even two comets. The Višnjan Observatory regularly hosts events, guided tours, workshops, and stargazing sessions throughout the year. These are offered in English and several other languages, making the wonders of the night sky accessible to visitors from around the world.
Nature lovers will find scenic walking trails throughout the area. With the help of the Višnjan trail app, visitors can discover routes through lush forests, vineyards, and lavender fields, often accompanied by the sights and sounds of local wildlife. The landscapes are ideal for peaceful strolls, photography, and quiet moments in nature.
Višnjan is also home to family-run wineries like Poletti, producing premium wines since 1842. Traditional taverns and agritourism farms serve homemade Istrian dishes prepared with locally grown ingredients, offering a true taste of the region.
With its combination of natural charm, rich heritage, and scientific discovery, Višnjan offers a unique and authentic Istrian experience—just a short drive from the coast.
