Villa Santa Margherita
Enjoy the breathtaking views of the sun setting over the Brijuni Islands set among our olive groves on the gentle slopes around Vodnjan.
A Warm Family Welcome
Welcome to a special place
As a family we have had the great fortune to experience the deep peace, positive energy, and spectacular views from the Santa Margherita olive grove, a little piece of Istria that means so much to us and those who have visited us on grove tours over the years.
After many years our dream has been realised to allow guests to stay. The villa is beautiful, but in our plans we always understood one important thing – and that is that nature is even more so. The sunsets, the views, the night sky is really what you will remember – because nature is more beautiful than we can ever create.

Nature at Santa Margherita
Enjoy the Farm
FARM & SURROUNDINGS
This is farming land, not in any way planned to be perfect. Farming is never a finished activity, but we we have learned over generations that nature is perfect even if it may not seem so at any given moment.
Welcome to our special place of dynamic seasons where all the elements of nature’s cycle are present and to be celebrated and enjoyed. Most come for the summer sunshine, but the autumn storms, the winter silence and the spring colours are really the most memorable
VILLA REVIEWS
The wonderful moments spent in Santa Margharita are difficult to describe in words, it is a place you have to feel... the feeling of silence, enjoying the smells and tastes, colors and views, sunsets and happiness that this place provides. The pleasure of sitting on the terrace with a view of the sea or a walk in the olive grove in the company of dear friends and hosts bring forgetting the word stress and a sure recommendation that the vacation in this place will be perfect.
Wir haben uns sehr gefreut, einer der ersten Gäste in der Villa Santa Margherita zu sein. Es ist wunderschön gebaut in Bezug auf Layout, Qualität und Komfort. Die Lage ist spektakulär - umgeben vom Olivenhain von Brist - ruhig und landschaftlich reizvoll, mit Blick auf die Insel Brijuni. Meine Kinder liebten den Pool, von früh bis spät. Und wir haben das Wellnessangebot genossen.
We've had truly a beautiful time and stay at Villa Santa Margherita during our visit to Istria. Location of the villa is stunning! Away from the crowd any time of the year it is placed in the middle of endless olive groves surrounding it and you can have full privacy and enjoy the silence during beautiful sunsets or sunrises. It is still very close to the main road to Fažana and Vodnjan which makes it perfect for family stay. The villa itself is beautiful both inside and outside, spacious and well designed with everything you need and rest completely. My favourite though - the wellness area and the outside pool where my kid enjoyed the most. A lot of love has been put in this villa by it's beautiful owners and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking both peace and silence alongside beaches and restaurants near.
A wonderful extended weekend with the kids in Santa Margharita recharged our batteries. The view of Brijune leaves you breathless, the greenery of the olive groves exudes peace. The luxury of seclusion and superbly equipped Villa. Recommended for any season. Thank you to Lena and Paul for sharing their love and passion for olive growing with us.
