The summer kitchen and covered dining terrace make al fresco meals easy, whether you’re preparing a family barbecue or sharing local specialities long into the evening. Upstairs, sea - view lounge and dining spaces provide the perfect backdrop for sunset drinks overlooking the coastline. Inside, bright and contemporary interiors are spread across three levels. Open - plan living areas connect seamlessly to panoramic balconies, while five comfortable bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for a variety of group sizes. A dedicated wellness area with a Finnish sauna, hot tub and relaxation space provides a welcome place to recharge, while the games room and private gym ensure there is plenty to enjoy without leaving the villa.

The peaceful hamlet of Viškovići lies along the eastern coastline of Croatian Istria, just three kilometres away from the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea. With the lively Istrian capital of Pula roughly fifty kilometres away and an array of coastal wonders to explore nearby, Villa Tankia offers guests an enchanting holiday setting with an abundance of Mediterranean charm!

When in Istria, the shimmering sea inevitably beckons. The coastline is dotted with beautiful beaches, many of which are secluded, sunny coves where you can completely relax away from the crowds. Just two kilometres from the villa, Autocamp Tunarica offers a wide array of water sports facilities, including boats, kayaks and stand - up paddle boards for visitors to rent on sunny afternoons. Twenty kilometres away from Viškovići, the vibrant coastal resort of Rabac is home to stunning Blue Flag beaches such as Girandella Beach, a pristine pebble beach with warm, crystalline waters and fantastic amenities, only a half - hour’s drive from Villa Tankia. Lanterna Beach and Maslinica Beach are two more gorgeous coves to be explored whilst spending the day by the sea in Rabac.

Just five kilometres from Rabac, Labin is a pretty town with plenty of authentic Istrian charm. Spend a sunny morning wandering the streets of the historic town centre, sipping coffee and taking in the colourful sights, before visiting the local history museum in the impressive Battiala - Lazzarini Palace. Perched on a picturesque hilltop, the town boasts spectacular views of the surrounding natural beauty and the sea, so you will be unlikely to forget Labin in a hurry.

History buffs and those searching for a little more hustle and bustle will feel drawn to Pula, Istria’s largest city, situated in a valley surrounded by seven green hills. Boasting spectacular sea views 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. After a day spent wandering the city’s charming cobblestone streets, make your way home to tranquil Villa Tankia in time for a sunset swim and a glass of Istrian wine on the terrace as the stars begin to appear.
