Our Story

Vintage Villa Magnolia is located in the historic residential suburb Veruda in the city of P**a, within walking distance to the magnificent Adriatic coast with crystal clear sea. Villa was built in 1913 when this area was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, by a navy officer Julius Riedlein, who lived there with his wife Eugenia and daughter Ingrid. This was a neighbourhood of family homes of eminent members of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Not surprisingly, the next-door neighbour was naval captain Georg von Trapp better known as the head of the singing family in the movie "Sound of Music".

We have named our house Villa Magnolia after the ancient magnolia tree in the garden, which was brought from Asia when the house was first built. It has beautiful white flowers which smell like perfume. The house is cosy, tranquil and spacious and has a large garden (park). We think it's a happy house and we love living there and looking after it, striving to preserve as much of the original setup, furnishing and feel, as possible. And we love sharing it with our guests, who can either hire one of the rooms (each has its bathroom) or the whole apartment.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable, the kitchen is modern and well equipped, and there's also a lounge/dining room or Blue Room. You can have breakfast on the porch by the entrance door and dinner with your evening drink on a comfortable patio in the garden. If you are staying in the house during the lunchtime, you can choose to have lunch in the dining room. We have also provided gazebos and deckchairs for your comfort.

The garden is quite large and full of lush greenery, offering plenty of shade. The town centre is within walking distance from the house, as are all the amenities (market, banks, bakeries, bars, post office, pizzeria, grocery shops, etc.). You can enjoy lovely sunrise or sunset walks along the beaches, dine in one of the open-air seaside restaurants, or have fun in beach bars. The fragrant pine tree forest stretches to the coast and offers plenty of shade. There is a road that runs along the beaches, and a jogging path is parallel to the road, but it runs through the pine forest.it runs through the pine
