Villa Judita in Tar is a spacious Istrian villa designed for up to 10 guests, with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a 50 m² private pool, and a beautifully fenced 1,740 m² garden that makes it easy for families and groups to settle in comfortably from the first day. The layout feels generous without being excessive, offering enough room for shared time as well as privacy, while the combination of old stone, natural greenery, handcrafted details, and outdoor space gives the house a calm and welcoming character from the moment you arrive.

The villa itself brings together two layers of Istrian living. One part of the house is an old stone home with traditional wooden beams, full of texture and local character, while the newer extension adds comfort, openness, and everyday practicality. This balance between heritage and modern use is one of the strongest qualities of Villa Judita. It does not feel like a house created only to look beautiful in pictures. It feels like a real Istrian home, carefully restored and expanded so guests can enjoy tradition, comfort, and ease in the same place.

Inside, Villa Judita combines traditional Istrian warmth with a layout that works naturally for modern holiday living. The ground floor brings together the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living room in a way that feels practical and sociable, whether the day begins with breakfast before heading to the coast or ends with a relaxed evening indoors. All furniture has been custom-made from oak wood, giving the interiors a strong sense of craft, quality, and permanence. Instead of generic holiday furniture, the rooms feel grounded, warm, and made specifically for this house.

Each of the five air-conditioned bedrooms has its own private bathroom, which makes the stay much easier for larger families and groups. Guests can keep their own rhythm, privacy, and comfort throughout the holiday, without the feeling of having to share essential spaces. One of the ground-floor bedrooms is especially important because it is adapted for guests with disabilities, making Villa Judita a more thoughtful and accessible choice. Heating and cooling are provided through air-conditioning units, giving guests practical comfort across different seasons.

The outdoor areas are one of Villa Judita’s strongest qualities. The 50 m² private pool sits within a large enclosed garden, giving guests room to swim, sunbathe, dine outside, and spend time outdoors without feeling crowded. The covered dining area, summer kitchen, and barbecue make the exterior a genuinely usable part of the house rather than simply a visual feature. Terraces, balcony seating, and several lounge corners create different moods throughout the day, from morning coffee in the shade to long lunches outside and slower evenings spent in the open air.

A particularly charming detail is the pergola covered with grapevines, where the sun loungers sit naturally in the shade. It gives the poolside area a softer, more authentic Istrian feeling, while guests can relax beneath the vines, enjoy the garden atmosphere, and experience the sweetness of strawberry-flavoured grapes when in season. This detail says a lot about the villa. It is not only about space and amenities, but about small local moments that make the stay feel connected to the place.

What gives Villa Judita its appeal is the balance it offers. The house has the atmosphere of a traditional Istrian villa, yet it remains easy, comfortable, and practical to use. Stone elements, old wooden beams, custom oak furniture, greenery, and the quieter setting give it a more rooted and authentic feeling, while the generous indoor and outdoor spaces make it especially well suited to longer stays. Nothing feels forced or overdone. Instead, the villa offers the kind of comfort that supports a relaxed holiday and the kind of character that makes the stay feel connected to its surroundings.

Tar itself adds another meaningful layer to the experience. The village is known for its olive oil and long winegrowing tradition, both of which are deeply connected to the local landscape and way of life. Olive oil has been part of Tar’s identity since ancient times, and archaeological remains of an old olive oil mill show that people in this area were producing and trading oil thousands of years ago. Even today, local producers continue that tradition with exceptional quality, and some residents have received gold medals and international recognition for their work. A special curiosity of Villa Judita is that the place where the refrigerator stands today was once home to a 3,000-litre concrete cistern used for storing olive oil.

The area’s winegrowing heritage tells a similar story of land, family, and tradition. In earlier times, almost every family had its own vineyard, while today many local producers work with advanced technology and reach internationally recognised standards and awards. It is one more sign that the villa belongs to a place with deep roots, where stone houses, olive groves, vineyards, and family traditions have shaped daily life for generations.

The location in Tar adds to that sense of ease. Villa Judita is set in a quiet area without noise, giving guests the privacy and calm they expect from a refined holiday villa, while still being only about 250 metres from the centre of the village. Restaurants, shopping facilities, a fish market, and a bakery can be reached in around five minutes on foot, so daily needs are simple even without using a car. The sea is approximately 2.5 km away, and guests can also reach the coast by an organised free bus connection, making beach days easier and more relaxed.

At the same time, the villa is within convenient reach of the wider western Istria area, including Poreč and Novigrad. This makes Villa Judita a strong choice for travellers who want privacy at home without feeling far from the coast, local life, restaurants, shops, and the main highlights of the region. For guests looking for a refined holiday villa with space, comfort, accessibility, and a genuine Istrian atmosphere, Villa Judita offers a stay that feels relaxed, private, rooted, and naturally inviting.
