Villa Jakob is located in the small village of Gregi near Kringa, in Central Istria. This inland part of the peninsula is a good choice for guests who want a quieter holiday setting, more privacy and easy access to different parts of Istria
From here, you can explore traditional hilltop towns, local restaurants, cycling routes and the western Istrian coast without staying directly in a busy tourist centre.
Kringa and the surrounding Tinjan area are known for their rural Istrian atmosphere, stone houses, local traditions and gastronomy. Tinjan is especially associated with Istrian prosciutto, so guests who enjoy local food can visit nearby taverns and restaurants serving regional specialties such as prosciutto, homemade pasta, meat dishes, truffles, olive oil and local wines. The area is also suitable for scenic drives, walks and cycling through small villages, fields and countryside roads.
For sightseeing, Villa Jakob is well positioned for discovering both inland and coastal Istria. Pazin, Motovun, Svetvincenat and other historic towns are convenient options for day trips, with castles, viewpoints, old town centres and local events. Porec is one of the closest coastal towns and is a great choice for a day by the sea, a walk through the old town or a visit to the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica. Rovinj, Vrsar and other popular destinations on the western coast are also reachable by car.
Guests who want to spend time at the beach can drive to the Porec Riviera, where there are many family-friendly beaches, beach bars, restaurants and summer activities. After a day of swimming, sightseeing or tasting local Istrian food, the location of Villa Jakob allows you to return to a more peaceful countryside setting and enjoy the privacy of the villa away from the coastal crowds.
