Villa Leksija is around 8km from the centre of Momjan, a small village with restaurants, wineries, and castle ruins to visit. The villa is around 22km from the sea, with the beautiful Kanegra Beach being one of the closest coastal points.
Travel a little further, and you can discover pretty towns such as Umag and Novigrad, and more quiet beaches. If you want to explore Croatia’s neighNorthern Istria is a charming region with wonderful countryside, undiscovered villages and a coast lined with stunning beaches. Istrian highlights like Rovinj and Pula are within easy reach, along with the rugged mountains of Učka Nature Park.
The pleasingly tranquil Kanegra Beach lies around 30 minutes from Kućibreg, almost nudging the border with Slovenia – you even get an international view from the beach. When you have enjoyed this beautiful setting, you could easily pop across to the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park – peaceful salt pans with plenty of birds to see. Many spas in nearby Portorož offer treatments based on the salts. You will also find a beach, casinos and excellent restaurants in this resort.
Back in Croatia, pretty Umag is one of the first towns you’ll come to along the western coast. Lovely pebble beaches and a charming Old Town are found here, along with a contemporary art gallery and a small museum. Local vineyards and nearby Savudrija Lighthouse add points of interest, while the Croatian Open tennis tournament brings sports fans to the town each summer.
About 20 minutes south, Novigrad is an excellent place for food lovers. The town hosts an annual food festival, Gnam-Gnam Fest, and has many high-quality restaurants. Fresh seafood and the region’s locally produced wines are well worth checking out – Istrian Malvasia, a full-bodied white, is considered one of the best.
You can enjoy the town’s Lapidarium Museum or wander down to the charming waterfront. The Old Town’s most recognisable building is the Church of St Pelagius and St Maximus – its tower dominates Novigrad’s skyline.
Busy Poreč’s Roman Old Town and the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica are must-sees to the south. During the annual Poreč Summer festival, classical concerts are often staged at the church, forming part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can also visit the impressive Baredine Cave or take a boat trip to Sveti Nikola’s gorgeous island– a few minutes away.
The rugged countryside of Učka Nature Park is ideal for hiking and mountain biking, constituting something of a hidden gem in Istria’s northeast. At the highest peak, Vojak, you will find a landmark stone tower from which to appreciate the best views. The glamorous spa resort of Opatija is close by and retains much of the splendour that once made it the local nobility’s go-to getaway. Kvaerner Bay, the Lungomare promenade and the town’s immaculate parks are among its highlights.bours, Kućibreg is the ideal base – you can reach beautiful Piran and Trieste, in Slovenia and Italy, in less than one hour.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
