The Villa Covri was designed by one of the leading Croatian designers, Boris Ružić. It is located near the wonderful town of Novigrad. The villa got its name after the Istrian village Covri where she is located, at only 4 km from the nearest beach.
The villa was built in the 16th century and was completely restored in 2017 with furnishings of the highest quality and environmentally friendly paint. The century-old beams that frame the villa have also been restored while the old stone has been put to new use. Marble of the highest quality from Istrian quarrys was used to decorate the house. The interior of this home consists of three floors which successfully combine traditional Istrian with modern industrial style which makes this place especially inviting.
It boasts 5 large bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a large pool with a cascade, a large living room with a kitchen, patio and lounge area. The stylish interiors will impress you with their strong colors, comfortable beds, and large bathrooms. The house also has a large ancient stone fireplace and many mementos from its’ glorious past.
The Golden Globe-nominated movie “Život sa stricem”( My Uncle’s Legacy) was shot here in 1987, before the renovation. The open concept living and dining area together with a fully equipped kitchen and toilet are located on the ground floor. Three spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathroom are located on the first floor where from one of the bedrooms you have a terrace from which you can directly access the garden. The other two comfortable bedrooms, also with en-suite bathroom each, are located on the second floor. The villa is surrounded by a beautiful Mediterranean garden with lavender, rosemary and olive trees where the refreshing private pool awaits and invites you to unwind in this beautiful oasis. To round up your experience in this extraordinary villa, the owners can offer various water sports at a discount. Yachts and other boats can also be arranged.
