Villa Shanti—Entire Property for Families & Friends (4 apartments)
A peaceful retreat for families and friends, reserved exclusively as an entire property for one group at a time. Villa Shanti offers four private apartments, a heated pool, jacuzzi, a pool house with BBQ and summer kitchen, and a game room – all surrounded by nature. Just 3 km from the sea, it’s made for slow mornings, golden sunsets and timeless connection. A space to reconnect — with yourself, with loved ones, with stillness, and with a slower rhythm of life.
Nestled in the quiet village of Brovinje, just 3 km from the Adriatic, the property consists of four independent private apartments, always rented together as one entire property. It is ideal for families and friends who value both togetherness and personal space.
Each apartment includes a bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and a private terrace — perfect for quiet mornings or starlit nights.
At the heart of the experience is a 60 m² heated swimming pool with counter-current jets, surrounded by nature and open sky. Beside it, the pool house features a summer kitchen, BBQ, large dining table and sound system — a place where evenings stretch, laughter lingers, and time gently slows.
A separate game room with billiards, darts, foosball and minibar adds a playful note to every stay.
Surrounded by forest and silence, Villa Shanti is a base for hiking, biking, or simply listening to the wind and watching the light change through the trees.
It is also a perfect starting point for exploring the soul of Istria — from quiet coastal towns and local wineries to ancient hilltop villages and olive groves.
Whether you are seeking stillness or adventure, here you’ll find space — to breathe, to gather, to be.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMNTS – 2 ground-floor apartments sleep up to 4 guests each (double bed 180×200 + sofa bed 160×200) – 2 upper-floor apartments sleep 2 guests each (double bed 180×200)

We stayed there for one Week and rented all four apartments. The villa was even nicer than on the pictures. Ingrid is a very very nice host and took care on all requests from our side. All in all we had a really great time there and recommend the villa.
Vom ersten bis zum letzten Tag der pure Genuss !!! Bei Fragen konnte man jederzeit auf die Gastgeberin zählen. Die Location ist hervorragend.... Vielen Dank und bis zum nächsten Jahr !!!
Villa Shanti ist eine hochwertig ausgestattete und saubere Ferienwohnung. Die Vermieterin Ingrid ist sehr sehr freundlich, immer erreichbar und äußerst hilfsbereit. Das Poolhaus ist genial. So macht Urlaub Spaß. Sehr gerne wieder
We (a family of 10 - 3 generations from 1,5 to 60 years) spend 2 weeks in Villa Shanti in the summer of 2020. We arrived with high expectations, and they were more than met in this wonderful house. The house and the contents of the house – from kitchen equipment over the beds to the pool – were of very high quality.
Also it must be mentioned that the service we received from Ingrid from the start of the booking to the end of our holiday were extraordinary. Any questions were answered within hours (or even minutes), and when we one day encountered problems with the air-condition in one of the rooms, a technician was ordered right away and showed up the next morning at 9 o’clock. Air-con couldn’t be fixed, but before the end of the day, it had been replaced!
Last I will emphasize that we had booked the house in the midst of a Corona-time. Which meant that we – 1,5 months before arrival – were impacted of new restrictions for travelling issued by the Danish authorities. We contacted Ingrid – was it possible at this late stage and due to those very special conditions of Corona-pandemi to cancel the booking? We promptly received the message: “Of course, I understand”, and the money were transferred back to us immediately. Luckily the restrictions for travelling were lifted, so we could go and spend two fantastic weeks in Villa Shanti
Zu der Villa kann man nicht viel sagen! Sie ist wirklich TOP und lässt keine Wünsche übrig! Der einzige Nachteil - man muss zum guten Strand etwas weit laufen oder fahren)

Wonderful holiday
We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Shanti. The house is very well maintained and clean. About 15 minutes walk is a beautiful bay, which was only visited by us. Ingrid is a heartfelt human and is always available as soon as questions arise.
Thank you for everything Ingrid and see you next time :)

great place in Kroatie, feels like home
This Villa is perfect for 3-4 families, renting the complete complex. you still have seperate Apartments to be also private, but also a superb kitchen, eating area where 12 or even more people can cook, eat and sit there directly at a big pool. There is a wonderful beach, not crowded with tourists, but you need to walk about 20 Minutes, however this is the advantage of this beach with crystal clear waters as there is no car parking and therefore the masses do not get there. The owner, Ingrid, is just lovely, asking if everything is okay, and as soon as something is missing (nothing important missing anyway :-)), she will get it sorted out for you. also she gives some advice about what to see and to do in the area. Really, it felt like being home from the first Minute, we had 2 wonderful weeks there. There is just one downside, the nearby cement factory, I was worried about it in the beginning, however as from the lower Level, you do not see it, you also do not hear it, the air is not polluted at all, it really did not bother us at all, in the contrary, this is in the end the reason why the area around is still very natural and even in August, not many tourists stay there due to lacking big hotels, you can just easily avoid the part of the factory and enjoy the rest of the beauty this part of Istria. The Villa has everything you need and provides the perfect place to be.

Bellissimi ricordi a Villa Shanti
Abbiamo trascorso in 10 persone una settimana di vacanza a Villa Shanti. Le fotografie rendono esattamente l'idea della casa. C'è un caseggiato che contiene 4 appartamenti per 3 persone l'uno con entrata autonoma, a chiave elettronica. Ogni appartamento è dotato di bagno, salottino, cucina attrezzata, cassaforte, microonde, tv con canali italiani, zanzariera, aria condizionata. Le finiture sono ottime e gli appartamenti sono molto confortevoli. Al piano superiore ci sono anche le tende da sole elettriche. All'esterno una bella piscina con lettini e materassini, possibilità di nuoto controcorrente e cascata d'acqua regolabili con telecomando. Doccia esterna calda. Accanto alla piscina una struttura che contiene una ampia cucina ed un altro bagno. La cucina è di design, confortevole, climatizzata e ben attrezzata. Per un gruppo fino a 12 persone è il cuore della casa. C'è anche un caminetto per barbecue. La cucina ha un grande frigorifero e la lavastoviglie. Il bagno accanto ha una doccia/sauna ma soprattutto lavatrice ed asciugatrice molto comode. Fa parte delle dotazioni della casa anche ia sala giochi con freccette, biliardo, biliardino e bar. Ingrid, molto gentilmente, ci ha accolto e spiegato ogni dotazione e ci ha consigliato qualche escursione in zona. Abbiamo particolarmente apprezzato il giro in kayak nel fiordo di Arsia e la discesa alla spiaggia deserta più vicina. Siamo stati anche alla spiaggia di Ravni, molto bella. A Labin, circa una 15 di km, il supermercato più vicino mentre a Koromacno un piccolo negozietto con l'essenziale. In generale, il luogo è selvaggio ed abbastanza isolato ma per questo apprezzabile e caratteristico. In zona tanta salvia selvatica profumata, splendidi paesaggi e tramonti, caprioli, acqua trasparente e cristallina e Villa Shanti un bel punto di partenza per le esplorazioni del luogo. Peccato essere in un luogo così bello e non godersi la casa tutto il giorno!
Per gli amanti della natura e anche per gli amanti delle comodità, è consigliatissima! Grazie Ingrid per i tuoi preziosi consigli.
