House Veprinac

Opatija Riviera – Family villa with three apartments and panoramic sea view
Home over the Opatija Riviera A house is a noun, a home is a feeling... In the historic core of Veprinac, on one of the most special positions above the Opatija Riviera, this Mediterranean house with three residential units and an open view of the entire Kvarner Bay, Učka and the Kvarner islands is located. It is a property built for living — thoughtfully, functionally and with a clear sense of space, privacy and everyday quality of life. The location of the house today combines, very rarely, the following qualities: the peace of a historic core, complete privacy, excellent transport connections and immediate proximity to nature and the sea. A place where silence is heard. Veprinac has for centuries occupied a dominant position in the Opatija hinterland and still today represents one of the most authentic locations on the Riviera. Situated on the slopes of Učka, at approximately 500 meters above sea level, during the summer months it offers a noticeably more pleasant climate, more freshness and air, and a feeling of escape from the heat and coastal crowds. Open vistas, peace and authentic Mediterranean character give this place an atmosphere that is increasingly rare on the coast today. Despite its seclusion and peace, the center of Opatija and the beaches in Ičići are only about fifteen minutes away by car, while the immediate proximity of the Učka tunnel and main traffic routes provides excellent connections to Istria, Rijeka and the rest of the region. The house was built as a private family residence, which is clearly felt in the organization of the space, the proportions of the rooms and the way it is integrated into the surroundings. The residential space is organized through three separate units spread over three floors, allowing various ways of use — from comfortable family living, through multigenerational housing, to a combination of private residence and tourist rental. The main apartment, located at the entrance level of the property, is conceived as the central living space of the house. Large glass surfaces of the living room open the view over the whole of Kvarner, while the covered terrace naturally extends the stay to the outdoor space and the Mediterranean greenery surrounding the house. The apartment has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious living area connected with the kitchen and dining room. On the lower floor there is a separate apartment with a kitchen and dining room, two bedrooms, a walk‑in wardrobe, two bathrooms, a covered terrace and direct access to the garden, while in the attic there is a third apartment with a wonderful view, two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and dining room, one bathroom, a large covered terrace, a balcony and a quieter, more private character. Two apartments have been successfully used for tourism purposes for many years, with excellent guest ratings and continuous operation. A special value of the property is its relationship to the environment — sheltered outdoor spaces, greenery and open views create an atmosphere that is hard to convey in photographs. The total gross built area of the house is approximately 382 m², while the total land area is 888 m². The plot also includes a garage, an auxiliary building and several parking spaces. A key characteristic of this property remains the feeling of peace and seclusion that is increasingly hard to find on the Opatija Riviera today — without a sense of isolation and with everyday functionality of a place that lives fully all year round. In the immediate vicinity there are a school, kindergarten, shop, café, church, bus station and numerous walking and hiking trails of the Učka Nature Park. This is not a house that tries to impress with superficial luxury, but provides an ideal basis for enhancing the atmosphere of a personal “nest”. Every home is a blank canvas on which each person paints their life. Whether it is a city apartment or a villa surrounded by greenery, every home has a unique soul. The real challenge is not only to find the right home, but to find the one that will quicken your heartbeat. Because in the end, the perfect home is not the biggest or the most beautiful — it is the one in which you already feel at home as soon as you walk in.
