Villa Olea

Type

Private Villa

Area

240m²

Set within the rolling hills and olive groves of Istria, Villa Olea is a contemporary luxury villa built largely underground. The architecture blends with the landscape, preserving uninterrupted views while a single sculptural tower marks the villa's presence above ground.

Below, a refined sequence of spaces unfolds — minimal, intentional, and deeply rooted in the land. Surrounded by olive trees and the quiet beauty of Istria, the villa offers a rare balance of contemporary design, complete privacy, and a deep connection to nature.

Hidden beneath the surface, the home unfolds around a generous central courtyard, bringing natural light, fresh air, and calm into every living space — an environment that feels both protected and expansive, where indoor and outdoor living are seamlessly intertwined.

Designed for a family who appreciate architecture as well as engineering, the garage is thoughtfully incorporated into the heart of the home, allowing the cars to be part of daily life. Villa Olea is not placed on the land, it is part of the land.
