In the village of Modrušani, in the municipality of Žminj in beautiful Istria, we discovered a property rich in history — a property whose design and architecture have been adapted in the best possible way to the local architectural heritage and the needs of modern living.

In the small village of Modrušani, near the town of Žminj in central Istria, there once stood a dilapidated building — a former Italian primary school built during the Fascist era in Istria. Thanks to the vision of new investors, the school has been transformed and reborn as a villa, while preserving the authentic character of its appearance and the era in which it was built.
