Penthouse Veruda

Veruda Penthouse — A Piece of Istrian History, Yours to Discover

Step into a world where history, charm, and modern comfort come together. This beautifully renovated penthouse apartment is nestled in a quiet, private dead-end street in the heart of Veruda — one of Pula’s most beloved and storied residential districts.

A Neighborhood with Seven Centuries of Soul

Veruda is no ordinary city district. A settlement for nearly seven centuries, it blossomed into one of the Adriatic’s most elegant residential enclaves during the Austro-Hungarian era at the turn of the 20th century — and that graceful spirit lives on to this day. Stroll through streets lined with historic villas once belonging to the von Trapp family and Admiral Horthy, or pause by the home of legendary Italian actress Alida Valli. These same streets were walked by Casanova, and centuries before him, by King Richard the Lionheart himself. History is not just nearby — it surrounds you.

Location That Has It All

Perfectly positioned just 2 km from Pula’s historic city center with its Roman amphitheater, museums, and vibrant dining scene, and only 800 meters from some of the finest beaches in Istria, Veruda Penthouse offers the rare combination of peaceful seclusion and effortless accessibility.

The Apartment — Light, Space, and Mediterranean Style

Spanning 100 m² of beautifully designed interior space, plus two terraces totaling 30 m², this penthouse has been thoughtfully renovated in a warm Mediterranean and Istrian aesthetic — bright, elegant, and full of character.

The living room is a true highlight: soaring ceilings reaching 4 meters, a generous seating area with a plush sofa, a large smart TV, and glass doors that open onto a stunning southeast-facing terrace. Dine al fresco at the outdoor table for six, unwind on the sun loungers, or fire up the electric grill as the Istrian evening sets in.

The vintage-style kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, featuring a charming island and a full suite of appliances — espresso machine, Moka pot, electric coffee maker, kettle, and more.

Three Bedrooms, Three Ensuites — Privacy for Everyone

Ideal for larger families or groups of up to six, the apartment offers three spacious, airy bedrooms — each with its own private ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, individual air conditioning, wardrobe, and work desk. Quality box-spring double beds with premium mattresses and bedding ensure a truly restful night’s sleep.

The west-facing bedroom opens onto its own private terrace running the full length of the room — the perfect place to watch the sun dip toward the distant Brijuni Islands in a blaze of color.

Views Worth Waking Up For

To the west, rooftops give way to an open horizon with the Brijuni Islands shimmering in the distance. To the south, a canopy of Aleppo pines frames the silhouette of the Church of St. Paul. Every window tells a story.
