About this property
Ideally situated in the idyllic Istrian village of Korte, with a treasure trove of coastal gems only a short distance away, Villa Inja is a delightful two-bedroom property with a private pool and an abundance of countryside charm. The villa’s traditional aesthetic and picturesque setting instill a sense of warmth and tranquillity, making this the perfect place for a relaxing break with your loved ones.
Blue skies and the warm breeze from the Adriatic Sea will draw you outside to Villa Inja’s private swimming pool each morning, where a dip in the refreshing water will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated as you sip a cup of coffee on one of the poolside sun loungers. Surrounded by verdant shrubbery, the villa’s outdoor space also features a barbecue grill, umbrellas, a small garden and a beautiful, elevated stone terrace with comfortable seating and a covered dining area, where everyone can gather together for a memorable meal and a glass of the local wine at sunset.
Patio doors lead inside to the villa’s airy open-plan living space, where you will find a welcoming lounge area with a sofa bed and a flatscreen TV, the ideal place to unwind after a day of hiking or watersports in nearby Piran. The lounge flows harmoniously into the villa’s relaxed indoor dining area, adjacent to a well-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. This space has gorgeous tile flooring, which also benefits from understated contemporary design touches.
The effortless, natural décor continues in Villa Inja’s master bedroom, which also affords access to the terrace through patio doors. This bright, modern room features a double bed and enchanting views. The villa’s second bedroom is another inviting double room with minimalist interiors. Both bedrooms provide easy access to the villa’s spacious bathroom, with pretty tilework and a walk-in rain shower. A separate smaller bathroom is also available.
The peace and seclusion of Villa Inja’s terrace, the garden’s heated pool, and the home comforts of the villa’s interior space make this the ideal place to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Slovenian Istria. With the dramatic scenery of the Karst Edge within driving distance, as well as the beautiful beaches and lively Mediterranean towns of the Adriatic coastline less than fifteen minutes away by car, you will be captivated by all that this charming villa has to offer.
With your own private swimming pool, secluded outdoor terrace at Villa Inja, and two excellent restaurants in Korte, you may not find yourself wishing to stray too far from your idyllic holiday home. However, Slovenian Istria is a tiny corner of paradise waiting to be discovered!
Known for its beautiful beaches and rolling green countryside, 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. Hiking enthusiasts will be delighted by the nearby trails, which pass through unspoiled rural villages with stone houses and wonderful coastline views. For history enthusiasts, Kaštelir archaeological site above Korte is one of the largest prehistoric settlements in the Slovenian part of Istria. Near the villa, guests will also find local olive oil producers and winemakers showcasing the very best of the region’s rich gastronomy. Visitors to the Šavrini Hills will be provided with more stunning coastal views and a fascinating glimpse into authentic Istrian life.
For those in need of a complete reset, visit the therapeutic spas and exquisite beaches of cosmopolitan Portorož, only a ten-minute drive away. Here, you can enjoy the soothing effects of both thermal water and seawater. 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 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.
Strunjan Nature Park, famous for its amazing variety of flora and fauna, is also a short drive away. The park provides fantastic walking trails including a challenging but enjoyable trek to Moon Bay Beach, a dazzling pebble beach with crystal-clear waters. From here, visit the old port town of Piran, often called Slovenia’s most beautiful coastal town, which is said to have flourished with the help of a little salt. Perched upon the tip of the peninsula, Piran’s Cape Madonna is home to incredible underwater biodiversity.
The town of Koper has a distinctly Mediterranean feel and is much admired for its impressive architecture, breathtaking views and culinary delights. This is the perfect place to indulge in a day of watersports on the Adriatic coastline before returning to your tranquil villa for sunset on the terrace.
