Location
About the surrounding area of Villa TorVilla Tor is situated just one kilometre away from the centre of Vodnjan, a picturesque town that perfectly encapsulates the rustic and romantic charm of Croatian Istria. With narrow cobblestone streets, beautiful architecture and a rich cultural heritage, Vodnjan offers an authentic glimpse into the laidback Istrian way of life. Meanwhile, nearby Pula is the region’s stunning capital, famous for its coastal gems and vibrant marketplaces.
In Istria, the irresistible Adriatic coastline inevitably beckons. From Villa Tor, the white pebble shores and crystal-clear waters of Peroj are only fifteen minutes away by car. The beaches of nearby Barbariga are rugged and remote, while a long and sunny promenade stretches from Peroj to lively Fažana, where there are plenty of convenient amenities such as beach bars and cafes, as well as local businesses offering water sports facilities, including snorkelling gear and sea kayaks. For an exciting day trip across the water, the untouched natural beauty of Brijuni National Park is just a short boat journey away from the Fažana fishing port. Here, visitors can enjoy the fresh island air whilst playing a round of golf or taking to the sea to enjoy kayaking and scuba-diving adventures.
The charming town of Rovinj is a coastal gem on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula, just a half-hour drive away from Vodnjan. A seaside town with a labyrinth of narrow streets and colourful architecture, here you can relax by the turquoise waters of Lone Bay Beach or enjoy a variety of watersports on Mulini Beach. Later, wander through the enchanting old town before making your way to the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia, where you can take in panoramic views of the ocean and the cluster of tiny islands surrounding Rovinj.
History buffs and those searching for a little more hustle and bustle will feel drawn to Pula, Istria’s largest city, located in a valley surrounded by seven green hills. Boasting spectacular views of the shimmering Adriatic Sea and the incredible Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre that dates back as far as 27 BC, the city is also home to lively summer festivals and local markets, beautiful beaches and traditional taverns showcasing some of the region’s finest cuisine.
Roughly a forty-minute drive from Vodnjan, Cape Kamenjak is a gorgeous nature reserve and park situated at the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula. With dramatic landscapes and a coastline of hidden coves and caves to explore, this is the perfect place to spend the day immersing yourself in nature. Later on, head home to Villa Tor in time for a visit to the sauna and a sunset glass of Istrian wine on the terrace before a night spent relaxing under the stars.

Whether you're seeking adventure in nature, indulgence in culinary delights, a glimpse into history and culture, or simply a warm and inviting atmosphere, the peninsula of Istria has it all.
Istria's diverse and unspoiled landscapes will be the first thing to capture your attention! The region is renowned for its lush green hills, rolling vineyards, and enchanting coastline: the stunning scenery is a playground for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and beachgoers alike.
Offering a remarkable 445 kilometres of pristine coastline, including tranquil coves and sandy beaches, visitors can find plenty of secluded spots to soak up the sun. The clear, azure waters of the Adriatic are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, making it a fantastic choice for those who enjoy an active day of water sports.
Venture inland and you'll discover picturesque villages set amidst rolling hills and verdant forests. Istria is home to over 30 nature reserves - an absolute haven for hikers and cyclists, with an abundance of well-marked trails to explore. The Učka Nature Park, in particular, stands out as a hiking and nature lover's paradise, offering waterfalls, historic villages, and breathtaking panoramic views of Istria's outstanding scenery.
Istria's rich history is woven into the fabric of its towns and cities. An ever popular choice for tourists is the impressive port city of Pula, full of quaint town squares and local restaurants, and home to one of the most well-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. This ancient arena, known as the Pula Arena, is a testament to Istria's Roman heritage and hosts numerous events, including concerts and film festivals.
The medieval towns of Rovinj and Motovun enchant visitors with their cobbled streets and historic charm. The Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning example of early Christian art and architecture.
Istria's culinary scene is a treat for the taste buds: the region is famous for its truffles, particularly the elusive white truffle, and you can savour dishes infused with this prized delicacy in charming local restaurants across the region. Wine and olive oil lovers will find joy in Istria's vineyards and olive groves, offering tastings and insights into traditional production methods. Fresh seafood, often served with a Mediterranean twist, is a staple that you can enjoy at quaint waterfront eateries along the coastline.
One of the most enduring memories visitors take away from Istria is the warmth of its people. The locals are known for their friendly, welcoming nature and their willingness to share their traditions and stories with tourists. You'll find yourself immersed in the local way of life, whether you're exploring ancient towns or enjoying a meal in a family-run tavern.
Istria is easily accessible, with Pula Airport serving as a major gateway. Once you arrive, navigating the region is a breeze with well-maintained roads connecting major towns and villages. Language barriers are minimal, thanks to the widespread use of English, Italian, and German, alongside the local Croatian language.
Istria’s unique blend of pristine landscapes, rich traditions, and warm-hearted locals creates an experience that will linger in your memories long after you've returned home.

Or pack a picnic and head to the nearby shores of Peroj Beach, where everyone can spend the day dipping in and out of the warm, crystal-clear waters.
Intrepid explorers will love Brijuni National Park, where they can hop on the open-air electric train and take in the wondrous sights of the safari park, including native Istrian animals such as sheep and donkeys and exotic animals like zebras and llamas! Later on, the whole family can rent bikes to explore the endless trails the park offers or take some time to relax by the water before visiting the dinosaur footprints near the safari park. The adventure continues on the sunset boat journey back to the shores of Fažana, where everyone can stop to enjoy a well-earned ice cream!
Meanwhile, budding historians will be enchanted by a visit to the Pula Arena, an ancient Roman amphitheatre that once hosted gladiator battles. Visitors to the amphitheatre can explore the underground chambers and impressive limestone walls before taking in the sights of Pula’s glittering harbour.
