NOT ORDINARY HOUSE
Covri on the old Venetian means “The Heart”, which is also a feature on crest of the Covra family and we want that heart to connect this beautiful Villa with our visitors, in order to carry this impressive story further.
let's start
The extraordinary Villa Covri is located in Istria, near the wonderful town of Novigrad. The villa got its name after the Istrian village Kovri where she is located, at only 4 km from the nearest beach.
The villa was built in the 16th century and was completely restored in 2017 with furnishings of the highest quality and environmentaly friendly paint. The old beams that have for centuries framed this beautiful villa have also been restored while the old stone has been put to new use. Marble of the highest quality from Istrian quarrys was used to decorate the house. The interior of this beauty consists of three floors which successfully combine traditional Istrian with modern industrial style which makes this place especially inviting.
MODERN IDEAS
The open concept living and dining area together with a fully equipped kitchen and toilet are located on the ground floor. Three spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathroom are located on the first floor where from one of the bedrooms you have a terrace from which you can directly access the garden.
The other two comfortable bedrooms, also with en-suite bathroom each, are located on the second floor. The villa is surrounded by a beautiful mediterranean garden with lavender, rosemary and olive trees where the refreshing private pool awaits and invites you to unwind in this beautiful oasis.
Stone Baladur
ours dates from the 16th century and is perfectly preserved. She has served as an inspiration for many books, songs, films and photo sessions.
Everyone who passes below can feel the power and spirit of the past.
In the early hours of the morning as you sit under the Baladur, you will feel some strange power of the past. You can see in a moment’s time, and in a moment you will see the Villa as it was in the year 1600.
Stone Floor
The stone found in the house is an original stone from the time the house was built and is the same as any stone in this house, hand-drawn from a nearby field and hand-carved and hand-worked.
When the house was renovated, every stone was taken out by hand, numbered and returned to the same place as it was, because we wanted to keep the originality of the house, the originality of the floor, and the stone was not processed in any way, because we want the stone breathes with the house, we want the house to live.
Experience means
We are not here just for tourism, just to sell accommodation, we are here for you and your experience, to enrich your life and spend your vacation as high as possible.
We will not let you get bored and ask what we are going to do today, but we will prepare your content before you even get here.
To round up your experience in this extraordinary villa, the owners can offer various water sports at a discount. Yachts and other boats can also be arranged. For those who would like to truly relax – a top yoga teacher can come to the villa and offer a private or group class as well as a massage.
A tree with feelings
The male Murva tree does not give fruit. However, after only one hug, this tree did bear fruit. The Virgin Mary has appeared in many forms to be considered a miracle, but this is a true miracle because neither scientifically nor divinely can justify what happened here.
Miracles exist
Beside the house stands a tree, which refused to bear fruit until it saw its friend who planted it.
After 70 years and a warm embrace, the tree wept in the form of fruits.
Covri models
If you are lucky, you may also be able to see famous models editing their editorials for well-known Croatian and foreign brands.
Of course, your visit and your peace will not be touched, because this is what this Villa is all about and what makes it different from other Villas, but if you close your eyes and wish it strongly, beautiful models can swim with you in the pool.

READING IS IMPORTANT
Yes, reading is of utmost importance to us.
The Covri Library is available 24/7
Encourage to read
With all this technology and social networks, many people today have forgotten about books and reading.
Most young people today do not know the feeling of reading a book, do not know what it is like to feel the fresh paper under their hands, the smell of paper and the creation of book worlds in their heads.
We know.
Reading books is of the utmost importance, because not only do we encourage guests to read, but we also offer particular pleasure to those guests who like to read and are book oriented.
The library is expanding and expanding on a daily basis. That’s why every season and every visit you will have new reading material.
Free weekend
A new cultural project gives the house a very special charm.
As we said, house is a genuine small museum of the famous Covra family, and several months ago a small library “From the heart – the Covra Family” (with the support and collaboration of the Italian community Fulvio Tomizza from Umag) has been opened in one part of it. With this project we wish to motivate people to find time to read, and create their own library “from the heart”.
Therefore, we invite reading fans and book lovers from all over the world to send us a book or two with inscription. The owner of the book with the most original personal inscription will be awarded a free accommodation for the whole weekend in our house.
Help us share
We kindly ask you to help us share this interesting story about the first book friendly house in the world on social media and thus become an inextricable part of this wonderful project.
Help us spread awareness of the importance of reading, help us become both you and the part of the world where books matter, and become the part of the world where the book has meaning again.
Done reading?
When you read the book, we are here again for you. We are here to give you a new experience again, so put off your book and move on to new adventures.
