Villa Castello di Papa – Luxury, Tradition, and Breathtaking Views in One - private pool, sauna, bocce court | Villa in Veprinac
4 Bedroom Villa in Veprinac
Perched on a scenic hillside above Opatija, the Pearl of the Adriatic, Castello di Papa invites you into a world where history, nature, and elegance intertwine. This centuries-old stone beauty, lovingly rescued from decay and carefully restored by the hands of its owner and local craftsmen.
Built on the ancient walls of old Veprinac and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and the mountains of Učka, this home now lives a new life – as an intimate retreat for those seeking more than just a holiday. Every corner carries traces of the past, with each detail thoughtfully brought back to life by those who cherish its heritage.
Here, time slows down. Every corner of the house tells a story, every detail honors tradition. Yet, all the comforts of modern living await: four beautifully appointed bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and TVs, a spacious living room with a piano and fireplace, and a sleek, fully equipped kitchen. For summer days, the outdoor kitchen with a traditional stone grill invites al fresco dining in the fragrant Mediterranean garden with lavender and aromatic herbs.
For those who wish to experience authentic Mediterranean tradition, the host has revived an old bocce court, a place where the competitive spirit and the romance of the past come alive beneath the trees.
In front of the house, a private amphitheater awaits – perfect for evening spontaneous concerts, or a quiet glass of wine under the stars. At its heart stands the statue of great-grandmother Anica, a milkmaid who spent her life carrying milk to Opatija. Carved from century-old cedar from the estate, the statue is a tribute to the humility, labor, and spirit of this region.
Part of the house is dedicated to a small private museum, where you can immerse yourself in the story of the host’s family – musician and writer – and the life of old Veprinac.
Located between the churches of St. Mary and St. Anne, where Glagolitic inscriptions were discovered, the house stands near the church of St. Anne, bearing the engraved year 1442 and the Veprinac Law, a symbol of local justice and identity.
This villa is perfect for families seeking peace, for artists in search of inspiration, for travelers who want to experience, not just stay.
