Villa The View Excelsior jedinstveno je arhitektonsko i umjetničko utočište smješteno u mirnom istarskom mjestu Bajkini iznad Vižinade. Pola luksuzna rezidencija, pola privatni muzej, ova impresivna kamena vila od 600 m² osmišljena je po uzoru na povijesne istarske kaštele i toskanske vile. Njezin interijer krasi neprocjenjiva zbirka umjetnina, klasičnih skulptura, rijetkih antikviteta i vrhunskog talijanskog dizajnerskog namještaja – uključujući autentični sat s rimskog željezničkog kolodvora iznad kamina te kolekcionarske golf palice iz 18. stoljeća – koje je godinama pažljivo birao bivši dugogodišnji direktor talijanskog muzeja. Unutarnji prostor i raspored (600 m² za do 10 gostiju) Prozračnim prizemljem pod visokim stropovima s bijelim drvenim gredama dominira prostrani dnevni boravak s unutarnjim kaminom, dizajnerskim sofama i raskošnim lusterom, koji se kroz velike staklene stijene otvara prema vrtu i bazenu.

ENGLISH: Villa The View Excelsior is a one-of-a-kind architectural and artistic sanctuary perched in the tranquil hamlet of Bajkini above Vižinada, in the very heart of Istria. Half luxury residence, half private museum, this magnificent 600 m² stone estate draws inspiration from historic Istrian castles and timeless Tuscan villas. Its interiors showcase an extraordinary curated collection of fine art, classical sculptures, rare antiques, and Italian designer furniture—including an authentic clock from a railway station in Rome mounted above the fireplace and 18th-century golf clubs—collected over decades by a former longtime Italian museum director. Interior & Layout (600 m² for up to 10 Guests) Beneath lofty vaulted ceilings with white-washed wooden beams, the sunlit ground floor features an expansive open-plan living room with an indoor stone fireplace, designer sofas, and statement lighting, opening directly onto the garden and pool terraces. Alongside the living space sits a state-of-the-art kitchen built around a large central island (equipped with an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, and blender) and a grand indoor dining area with a solid-wood table seating ten. The villa offers 5 serene bedrooms for up to 10 guests, each appointed with a comfortable double bed, dedicated desk/workspace, TV, room-darkening shades, and generous wardrobe space. Every bedroom is paired with one of 5 designer en-suite bathrooms finished in warm terrazzo stone with walk-in rainfall showers, rose-gold fittings, arched or porthole windows, plush towels, slippers, toiletries, and hairdryers. Outdoor Pool, Mediterranean Garden & Summer Kitchen At the heart of the fully fenced private grounds lies a large central swimming pool framed by a sun deck with loungers, an outdoor shower, and landscaped Mediterranean gardens adorned with cypresses, olive trees, and antique terracotta amphorae. Beside the house, a spacious covered loggia brings the whole group together around a long wooden dining table for ten, complete with a built-in brick fireplace/BBQ grill and an outdoor summer kitchen with sink, plus an outdoor fire pit for warm evenings under the Istrian sky. Upstairs balconies and terraces command sweeping panoramic views over rolling vineyards, olive groves, the Adriatic Sea, and—on clear days—all the way to the Alps. Location & Exclusive Amenities Set amidst Istria's celebrated wine and truffle region, the villa is just 2.8 km from the center of Vižinada, 2.7 km from a grocery shop, 2.9 km from a local restaurant, 14 km from the nearest Adriatic beaches, and 66 km from Pula Airport (PUY). The property is fully air-conditioned and centrally heated for year-round stays, and includes free private parking, an on-site electric vehicle (EV) charger, and a private driver available on request. Pets welcome (€20 per day).
