Lovely villa with private pool near Opatija

Villa Lumaca is located in Poljane, just above the coastal village of Icici. The villa is located in the hilly area under the mountain Ucka that separates regions Istria and Kvarner, overlooking the stunning Kvarner Bay. The villa is located about 8 km from Opatija- the pearl of the Adria, and less than 30 km from Rijeka, Croatia´s 3rd biggest city. Once you visit this area, you will fall in love with its stunning location, which enables you to discover the best of both regions, Kvarner and Istria, but also the best of both - mountain and sea. This area is famous for its natural advantages and the beneficial climate, which makes it a place where people are coming for the benefits of thalassotherapy, the medical use of seawater and air, as a form of therapy. You will love Ucka with its various hiking trails and a breathtaking view from the top of the mountain, from where it´s on a good day possible to see all the way to Venice, as the locals say. Within only 5 km from Icici, you will find many beaches to soak up the sun and to relax on. If you like the high season buzz on pebble beaches, don´t miss to visit the beaches of Medveja and Moscenicka Draga. The best way to get to know the area is to walk through the Lungo Mare, a 12 km long promenade along the sea, that connects Volosko, a charming little fishing village on one side, with Lovran, the closest town to Icici, on the other side. You will love romantic walks in the evening with a view of the picturesque sunset or the morning jogging right next to the sea. If you want to discover more than the closest surrounding, don't miss to visit one of the magnificent islands in the Kvarner Bay- Cres, Losinj, and Krk, or towns like Brsec and Moscenice, or one of many charming little medieval Istrian towns.
