Villa Tankia | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Koromacno

Nine guests arriving at Villa Tankia discover something rare along Croatia’s eastern Adriatic rim: a contemporary five-bedroom villa where every level has been designed to eliminate the need to leave the grounds, yet positioned only 3km from the sea in the quiet village of Viškovići. The master suite occupies the entire second floor. Below it, a wellness sanctuary houses a Finnish sauna and four-person jacuzzi. Below that, two ground-floor bedrooms mean children or mobility-limited guests never navigate stairs. This is not a villa that requires compromise.

Inside Villa Tankia

Villa Tankia sleeps 9 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms distributed strategically across three floors. The ground floor contains two double bedrooms, each with its own shower room—ideal for families who want children within earshot but separated by a door. The wellness area occupies prime real estate here too: a dedicated sauna and jacuzzi suite with changing facilities means post-swim recovery happens on the lowest level, no dripping up stairs required. A games room with pool table and dartboard, plus a utility room and guest toilet, complete the ground floor’s self-contained character.

The first floor opens into the beating heart of the villa: a fully equipped kitchen flows directly into a unified living and dining space, both with direct terrace access—breakfast moves from inside to outside without interruption. A further double bedroom and a single bedroom occupy this floor, each with en suite shower rooms. The architectural intelligence here matters: common areas separate from sleeping zones, yet sight lines maintain family connection.

The second floor is reserved for the primary suite: a master double bedroom with its own terrace, commanding eastern views toward the Adriatic, paired with a dedicated shower room. Waking to salt air and morning light across water is not incidental—it is the reward for reaching the top of the villa.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The 7.5m × 5m private swimming pool dominates the southern terrace, reaching 1.4m depth—deep enough for adults to swim, shallow enough for children to stand safely. A waterfall feature feeds the pool, introducing the sound of running water into otherwise quiet afternoons. Sun loungers face south. An outdoor shower stands ready for chlorine removal. The covered dining terrace accommodates long tables and extended family meals, while the summer kitchen with built-in barbecue transforms outdoor cooking from novelty into daily practice.

A children’s play zone occupies a distinct corner: trampoline, slide, swings—equipment that generates the specific sound of summer childhood that parents either cherish or actively avoid, depending on group composition. Basketball and volleyball courts provide organized activity for teenagers or competitive adults. All grounds are fenced, a critical detail for families with young children and for those prioritizing privacy.

The terraces face south and southeast, meaning morning shade gradually retreats throughout the day, leaving late afternoon to sunset exposed to direct light. This matters for schedule planning: breakfast on the terrace is pleasant before 10 a.m., the midday hours shift to interior spaces, and the evening terrace becomes prime again after 5 p.m.

Location: Viškovići and the Surrounding Area

Villa Tankia sits in the hamlet of Viškovići, positioned on the eastern flank of Istria where the peninsula’s limestone hills descend toward the Adriatic. The location represents a deliberate choice: far enough from major tourism infrastructure to guarantee quiet, close enough to reach substantive destinations within 20–50 minutes by car.

The nearest significant beaches lie 20km south at Rabac, a coastal resort that hosts multiple Blue Flag beaches including Girandella Beach, a pebble cove with transparent water and full amenities. Lanterna Beach and Maslinica Beach provide alternatives, each within the same driving radius. For water sports, Autocamp Tunarica operates 2km away, offering kayak, paddleboard, and motorboat rentals for those who want to explore the coast directly from Villa Tankia’s vicinity. Swimming from smaller local coves requires local knowledge; ask the villa management upon arrival.

Labin, situated 15km northwest, functions as the regional cultural anchor: a fortified hilltop town with cobbled streets, a local history museum housed in the Battiala-Lazzarini Palace, and multiple konobas (traditional taverns) serving Istrian specialties—truffle pasta, brodetto fish stew, local wines from indigenous varietals. The town’s elevated position generates panoramic views across forest and sea.

Pula, Istria’s largest city 50km away, operates on a different scale entirely. The Pula Arena, a Roman amphitheatre dating to 27 BC, anchors the city’s UNESCO credentials. The city accommodates summer festivals, fish markets in the central squares, multi-course dining scenes, and yacht charter operations for those planning coastal exploration. A 50-minute drive makes Pula suitable for a full day excursion.

Seasonal rhythms matter significantly. May through September offers warm water temperatures (20–26°C) and reliable sun. July and August attract peak tourism density—beaches become crowded, accommodation prices peak, and reservation windows close weeks ahead. June and September represent the practical sweet spot: warm enough for comfortable swimming, fewer crowds, lower rates. October still delivers warm days but water temperatures drop below 20°C, making pool usage more appealing than sea swimming. Winter (November–March) sees unpredictable weather and many coastal businesses close.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational families find Villa Tankia’s three-floor layout invaluable: grandparents occupy the ground floor without navigating stairs; teenagers claim first-floor bedrooms with independence; parents control the master suite. The games room keeps rain-day entertainment contained. The pool accommodates children’s water play and adult lap swimming in the same footprint.

Groups of six to nine friends (three couples, for instance) appreciate having private bedrooms with en suite bathrooms—no negotiation over shower timing, no forced intimacy. The wellness area provides differentiation: some guests use the sauna while others occupy the pool; the games room offers an alternative to communal lounging.

Couples seeking privacy can occupy the master suite and treat the remaining four bedrooms as unused—the villa does not require full occupancy to function well.

Families with children under 8 find the trampoline, play equipment, fenced perimeter, and on-property pool create a self-contained play ecosystem where supervision becomes manageable without constant external activity scheduling.

Those with mobility considerations benefit from ground-floor bedroom and bathroom placement, accessible terrace, and minimal threshold variations throughout the main living spaces.
