Venue Directory

This exclusive 7 bedroom villa was originally built in the late 19th century and was restored in 2012 to a high standard and in line with conservation guidelines for a grade II listed building, nurturing the Istrian tradition and at the same time offering all modern convenience.

Villa Poropati is situated in a small and tranquil hamlet called Poropati, only 5 km away from Groznjan, a well-known medieval town in Istria.

When staying in the villa, you can lounge around the south facing swimming pool, sleep or read one of the books from our collection on the grass, sun lounger or outdoor sofa.

Available for rent throughout the year, Villa Poropati consists of three buildings with a large garden enclosed with a stone wall, offering total privacy and a break from everyday hustle and stress.

It is ideal for those wishing to stay in the unspoiled countryside where the time has stopped but at the same time can experience the busier nearby seaside towns, resorts and beaches.

With lots of space around and numerous facilities, Villa Poropati is an ideal retreat for groups and it is well suitable for hosting various events, workshops and presentations.

The property sits in its own 5 acres estate with vineyards, walks and a woodland which the guests are welcome to explore. Guests can also taste the fine wines made by the local vineyard from the grape vines surrounding the property.

Enjoy the sights, attractions and restaurants at your own pace and treat yourself to the best local produce. Have a perfect relaxing break soaking up the sun in this wonderful part of the country.
