About Umag/Savudrija
Savudrija is a small fishing place on the westernmost cape of Istria, and the first resort you reach when entering the Croatian part of the peninsula. Its lighthouse, built in 1818 and 36 metres tall, is the oldest on the Adriatic coast, and fishing boats here are stored raised on wooden supports. Umag, the main town nearby, has old-town streets and squares and a tennis stadium at Stella Maris. Our homes are in a tight group, more than half with a private pool, nearly all with a garden and all with air conditioning. Many sleep around four. Bike trails pass Roman-era remains.

- Best for
- Couples and small families wanting a pool and a quiet cape
