The extraordinary Villa Covri is situated in the charming Istrian village of Kovri, between Novigrad and Brtonigla. Surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, the villa was originally built as a farmstead in the 16th century and then renovated in 2017. Due to its rich history, it is part of the Istrian cultural and historical heritage. Since its renovation, it has been awarded several times as the most beautiful accommodation in Croatia. With 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, a unique combination of traditional Istrian and modern style and a range of additional concierge services, Villa Covri offers authentic and luxurious holidays for up to 10 people and one pet.

The interior of the 300m² mansion is spread over three levels, each with the same aesthetic appeal. Even at first glance both inside and outside of the villa, the blend of Istrian tradition and modern industrial style is striking. Given the history of the building, special attention was paid to the preservation of the original heritage and ecological sustainability during the refurbishment. For example, stone from the original courtyard fence was used to restore the stone walls, while stone from Istrian quarries was used for renovation. Even the wooden beams, which have been a part of the house for hundreds of years, were restored. The entire house was hand-plastered and painted using environmentally friendly paints.

The ground floor has an open-plan living area with lounge, a dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. Neutral, earthy colours are used throughout to create a relaxing and airy feel. This is particularly emphasised in the living room. There are sofas for 7 people to relax in front of the fireplace and enjoy a glass of local wine. A wooden dining table with charmingly mismatched chairs for 10 people can be found in the centre of the open plan area. Throughout the house you will find both traditional and modern decorative details. This includes the kitchen, which has a modern island with induction cooker and a rustic fireplace in the wall. The stone floor is made of original Istrian stone slates dating back to the 16th century.

The bedrooms on the first and second floors are dominated by cool blues and greens in a predominantly modern style with antique detailing. On the first floor there are 3 spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. One of the bedrooms has its own terrace with direct access to the garden. Whether it's sunny or raining, this glassed-in terrace with an armchair and Mediterranean plants is perfect for enjoying a good book. Or you can simply take in the views of the stunning natural surroundings with the scents of the Mediterranean and a cup of tea. There are 2 more bedrooms on the second floor, all with en-suite bathrooms. Each bathroom is furnished with understated luxury and traditional details and is fully equipped with toiletries.

The villa is surrounded by 1,800m² of gardens. The Mediterranean garden is dotted with lavender, rosemary, olive and mulberry trees and a hundred-year-old laurel bush. The original stone terrace with outside stairs, the so-called "baladur", is one of the oldest and best preserved baladurs in Istria. You can discover another, smaller Mediterranean garden on the roof of the pool house. Next to this green oasis is the saltwater pool, and throughout the garden there are several tempting resting spots. The house also has a summer kitchen and a barbecue area and even outside the villa there are antiquity objects that further enrich the ambiance. The villa offers private parking for up to 4 cars.

Villa holidays are always a luxurious experience, but for Villa Covri's guests they are taken up a notch. During your stay, you can take advantage of the villa's concierge services, including a private chef, chauffeur, massage, yoga classes in the villa or garden, as well as bike, boat and sailboat rentals. If you want to explore the local amenities, the village of Brtonigla is famous for its vineyards and olive oil. Visit one of the family wineries or taverns for a tasting – it will make your day. Apart from Brtonigla, where you can also visit archaeological sites, for those who want to explore natural beauty, there is the nearby Mramornica Cave, where you can walk along a safe tourist path to a depth of 20 m. If you want to give your little ones a day of adventure, take them to Istralandia Aquapark, which is only a 10-minute drive from the villa. And don't forget to spend the day at one of the many beaches nearby, such as those near the lovely town of Novigrad.

Everything you need to know about reviews

How is the average score determined?

The average review scores of villas and holiday homes are shown on our website on a scale from 1 to 5. the average score is determined by adding up all the scores we receive and then dividing them by the total number of reviews received.

Which categories are rated

In the review form you can rate the villa or holiday home where you stayed in a total of 6 categories: location, facilities, comfort, cleanliness, host and value for money. Shortly after checking out from the accommodation (3 days) you will receive an e-mail with the link to the review form. You can only leave a review if you have actually stayed in the accommodation – this is how we ensure the authenticity and trustworthiness of our reviews.

Satisfaction with our service

In addition to the accommodation, we will also ask you to rate your satisfaction with our reservations centre and how likely you are to recommend our mediation services to other guests.

When will the reviews be published on the website

After you submit your review and we receive it, our quality team will check if the review is in line with our guidelines. If everything is in line with our guidelines, the review will be published on our website.

When reviews are not published

We strive to publish every review we receive, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. However, there are some cases in which we cannot publish the review. If the review contains offensive or unacceptable language (swear words, incitement to violence, political comments, advertising, personal details or first and last names of accommodation staff, references to illegal activities, etc.), it will not be published on our site i.e. the score may be published, but not the comment containing the above examples of undesirable content.

Translations of reviews

As an additional service, we offer the option of translating your review into other languages that we support on our website. We use Google Translate for this. Please note that this is a machine translation and we cannot rule out the possibility of errors in the translation. We therefore cannot accept any responsibility for the translations. In the event of complaints based on reviews, only the original language will be taken into account.
