Croatia's top Properties - ISTRIA SPECIAL

Istria is the famous northern peninsula of the Croatian coast and has always been the most developed region of the country. Its lush green hills with picturesque medieval cities on the top, the gourmet palette of pasta, truffles and superior wines validate the region’s comparison to Tuscany. The landscape is one of vineyards, olive groves and Venetian-style church towers. Istria, in comparison to Dalmatia, has been part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had governed it for more than 100 years. This reign has brought some practicalities in the land register that makes the region more attractive to developers. There are currently notably more projects being built in Istria than in Dalmatia. With the new ecological rules in place, these new developments are still respecting Croatia’s greatest gem: its coastline.

So what do we find?
The top A destinations are all steadily growing with quality projects, mainly apartment developments. In the more ural regions behind the busy coastline you will find more and more rustic villa’s, restored or newly build. These new developments are balancing the asking prices for Croatian real estate. What we see is that there is more balance between price and location and quality.
