Property description

A Stunning Stone Villa with History and Charm

We are proud to present an extraordinary opportunity in our exclusive portfolio: Villa Grgurina, a magnificent standalone stone villa located in Rukavac, just 5 km from Opatija and the Adriatic Sea.

Built in the late 19th century, Villa Grgurina was commissioned by the wealthiest man in Opatija and its surroundings, who sought a luxury retreat with panoramic views of the entire region and the Kvarner Bay. The villa was once the scene of glamorous parties and grand balls, and even today, it exudes the elegance and luxury of a bygone era.

Perched on an elevated position, the villa offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Kvarner Bay, encompassing landmarks such as Kastavština, Rijeka, and the islands of Krk, Cres, Lošinj, and Lisina.

Spanning an impressive 460 m² across four levels, the villa’s layout includes:

• A tavern in the basement,

• A ground floor and first floor connected by both internal and external staircases,

• A second floor designed as a separate residential unit.

Every level provides an open view of the sea, enhancing the sense of luxury and tranquility.

The villa offers remarkable flexibility for customization, whether you envision:

• Three separate apartments,

• Two spacious residences, or

• A single grand living space.

It can serve as an exclusive residential property or, due to its unique features and history, as a hospitality or tourism venue.

The current owners have begun renovations, preserving the villa’s original stonework while installing a completely new roof and intermediate floor structures. Detailed architectural plans for the current state and a historically sensitive renovation project are included, ensuring compliance with preservation and urban planning guidelines.

The villa sits on a 1,200 m² plot, featuring enchanting American cascading gardens with the potential for:

• An infinity pool,

• A sun deck,

• A luxurious lounge area.

This historic stone villa is waiting for its new owner to restore its former glory, breathe new life into its rich history, and transform it into a modern living space or a lucrative tourism investment.

Villa Grgurina is more than a property—it’s a legacy.
Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history in one of Croatia’s most coveted locations.
