Wedding venues in Istria
Villa Poropati
It is built in a traditional style consisting of stone and wood materials.
It resembles those summer villas you can see in old French and Italian movies.
In-villa Poropati you have many options for how you would like to use the outside space for your wedding in Istria.
I like that it’s so spacious and with it’s surrounding nature I can only imagine serious wedding goals here.
The villa doesn’t have a sea view, but it has a beautiful pool with a gorgeous view of the Forrest.
