Groznjan | Villas Croatia
The ancient hill village of Groznjan dates back to the eleventh century, with the first mention of the village in 1102. The town was constructed by the Venetians to form one of the main military bases in Istria; its close proximity to the Adriatic Sea and the Gulf of Venice meant that it was an ideal defensive base for Venice. Today, however, the town encompasses an entirely different ambience. Situated within the beautiful wine region of Istria, the town is now a hub for musicians and artists. Discover the stone-paved and narrow streets and explore the fascinating art studios, pottery shops and galleries that line the cobbled lanes, during a stay in NOVASOL’s Croatia holiday villas.

Art, culture and family holidays
It was not too long ago that Groznjan almost slipped into oblivion, with the town facing ‘extinction’ in 1954. Fortunately, the arrival of several musicians, painters and artists who banded together in an initiative that sought to renovate old abandoned and dilapidated Croatian villas brought the town back to life. Today the town’s population of approximately two hundred people mostly comprises artists. There is, however, a fantastic selection of Croatia holiday villas for tourists to enjoy.
