With an abundance of natural charm, Istria is known for its beautiful sandy beaches and rolling green countryside. The Istrian peninsula is the largest within the Adriatic Sea, and the land is shared by three countries: Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. Slovenian Istria is situated where the rugged Karst edge of the country meets the Adriatic Sea and the beautiful Bay of St. Bartholomew on the Slovenian-Italian border. With the natural beauty of three different countries on your doorstep, Istria offers visitors a chance to explore a rich and harmonious blend of cultures and traditions.
Hiking enthusiasts will be amazed by the nearby trails, which pass through unspoiled rural villages with stone houses and wonderful coastline views. Near the villa, guests will find local olive oil producers and winemakers showcasing the very best of the region's rich gastronomy. The coastal town of Ankaran, located a five-minute drive away, is home to excellent restaurants.
For those needing a complete reset, visit the therapeutic spas and exquisite sandy beaches of Portorož. Here, you can enjoy thermal and sea water's soothing effects. You may even wish to treat yourself to a luxurious massage! Experts are on hand to guide you through your day of pampering at the Shakti-Ayurveda or the Lifeclass Terme Portorož Spa.
The charming seaside town of Izola is not to be missed. Stroll along the marina and wander the old, cobbled alleyways before a leisurely lunch at one of the town's excellent restaurants. Izola is best known for its ancient ties to the tradition of fishing, but the nearby countryside also offers visitors the opportunity to visit local farms devoted to olive and fruit growing. The town of Strunjan, famous for its amazing variety of flora and fauna, is a half an hour drive away.
The Sečovlje Salina Nature Park is a cultural gem that introduces visitors to the tradition of salt production within a unique saline landscape. Visit the spa in the northern part of the park, where guests enjoy restorative salt and mud baths, known for boosting circulation and naturally improving the skin.
The old port town of Piran, often called Slovenia's most beautiful coastal town, is said to have flourished with the help of a little salt. The town has a distinctly Mediterranean feel and is much admired for its impressive architecture, breathtaking views and culinary delights. Piran's Cape Madonna is home to incredible underwater biodiversity at the tip of the peninsula. This is the perfect place for you to indulge in a day of watersports on the Adriatic coastline before returning to your tranquil villa for dinner with a view.
