Hidden among the rolling Istrian hills, where the scent of pine trees blends with the gentle coastal breeze, Villa Julijud welcomes you like a small piece of paradise. From the moment you approach the property, you feel time slowing down – calmer, more genuine, and deeply connected to nature. The stone architecture, surrounded by greenery and untouched landscapes, instantly reveals its character: a villa created for relaxation, enjoyment, and complete escape.
The spacious estate embraces a true Mediterranean setting. Olive trees, vineyards, aromatic herbs and soft grassy areas create an atmosphere that invites barefoot mornings and long afternoons outdoors. While adults can enjoy a game of bocce or prepare an unforgettable meal on the outdoor grill, children will love the dedicated play areas – from a playground to a charming treehouse. For even more fun and relaxation, guests also have access to table tennis, a billiards table, and two brand-new bicycles, perfect for exploring the surrounding trails and scenic countryside.
In the middle of the estate shines an elegant pool complex, where the spacious 9 × 4 m swimming pool and jacuzzi offer complete relaxation in every season. The entire area can be covered with a large glass dome that provides 100% UV protection and full shelter from wind, rain, and all weather conditions, allowing you to swim comfortably in spring, autumn, winter, or even on a rainy summer day. When the weather is sunny, the space under the dome naturally heats up – in winter the air can reach up to 36 °C, the pool water never drops below 25 °C, and the jacuzzi is always pleasantly warm at 36 °C. This means no unpleasant transitions between hot and cold, just uninterrupted enjoyment in the water and pure relaxation. After a day of exploring, the jacuzzi offers the perfect way to unwind, while in the evening the pool terrace, beneath the starry Istrian sky, becomes an ideal spot for relaxed conversations, a good glass of wine, and unforgettable moments..
The entire property is designed with privacy and peace in mind. You’ll feel far from the bustle of everyday life, yet you will have all modern comforts at your fingertips – including for your pets, who are warmly welcomed. Guests also benefit from an electric car charging station, ensuring carefree travel. And thanks to extremely fast and reliable Starlink internet, staying connected is effortless – ideal for remote work or high-quality entertainment.
Upon entering the villa, you are greeted by the warmth of natural materials, rustic details and modern elegance. The spaces are infused with Istrian character while designed to provide maximum comfort.
The ground floor features a bright and inviting living area, where a modern kitchen flows into the dining space and a cozy corner for family gatherings. The smell of morning coffee or a dinner beside the crackling wood stove creates an immediate sense of homeliness.
On the first floor is the master bedroom – a true oasis of comfort with its own bathroom and the added luxury of a private sauna. It is a place to switch off completely, sink into soft linens and enjoy the silence of the Istrian night.
Higher up, in the top floor, you’ll find two additional charming bedrooms, each with its own character and sharing a comfortable, modern bathroom. From this level, you can access the rooftop terrace, offering one of the most beautiful views in the area – over the green hills, vineyards and serene nature surrounding the villa.
Underfloor heating, air-conditioning in all rooms and excellent insulation ensure a pleasant stay year-round, making Villa Julijud perfect for winter wellness retreats as well as summer holidays.
Brajkovići near Pazin, where the villa is located, is one of those Istrian villages that delight with their simplicity and authenticity. Here you will find local taverns serving traditional cuisine, wine routes offering tastings, and numerous hiking and cycling trails that wind through hills and Mediterranean forests.
Nearby, you can visit the famous Pazin Castle, a mighty fortress above a dramatic sinkhole, as well as the legendary Motovun and the artistic town of Grožnjan, both enchanting with their cobbled streets and breathtaking views. If you’re drawn to the sea, the western coast isn’t far – though you’ll always be happy to return to the peace of your villa, where nature and comfort create perfect harmony.
