Opatija – two‑storey apartment with private garden in a historic villa, 100 m from the sea
Private Mediterranean residence with a timeless story
Just 100 metres from the sea, in the very centre of Opatija, this exceptional residence is located in Villa Emma – a historic villa built in 1889.
as a symbol of elegance, dedication and refined seaside living.
Originally built for a noble family, and later the home of distinguished guests and European aristocracy, the villa still represents a rare example of Opatija’s golden era — with a unique opportunity to write its new chapter.
Garden oasis in the heart of the city
At the centre of this residence lies something truly rare:
a private garden in the very centre of Opatija.
With approximately 136 m² of outdoor space for exclusive use, the apartment opens onto a peaceful Mediterranean setting of palms, greenery and covered terraces — a natural extension of living space.
Morning light, sea air and complete privacy create an atmosphere rarely found in such a location.
Two private parking spaces further raise the level of everyday comfort — an exceptional advantage in the centre of Opatija.
Elegance of space and ownership
• approx. 205 m² total area
• approx. 191 m² living area
• layout on the ground floor and 1st floor
• multiple bedrooms, living spaces and bathrooms
• separate, private entrance
• only two residential units in the villa
• approx. 62 % co‑ownership share of the villa
Proportions, layout and ownership structure create a living feeling that is much closer to a detached house than a classic apartment.
Space for an exceptional vision
The property is move‑in ready in its current condition, but its true value lies in its transformation potential.
This is a rare opportunity to create a unique residence that combines historic architecture and contemporary design — a home shaped by a personal vision on one of the most desirable locations on the Adriatic.
Rare opportunity – whole villa
Villa Emma consists of only two residential units, each in separate ownership.
Both are currently available for purchase.
This opens an exceptional possibility to acquire the entire historic villa in the centre of Opatija — a true rarity on the market that offers complete privacy, control and long‑term value.
Opatija – present and future
Located just steps from Slatina beach and the Lungomare promenade, the villa is situated in one of the most prestigious historic zones of Opatija.
At the same time, the surrounding area is undergoing significant transformation — including the development of the Slatina zone into a modern pedestrian area with parks, cultural facilities and top‑class infrastructure.
This development will further increase property values in this micro‑location.
