Istria Week Round Up

Istria Week Round Up

So, last weekend saw us returning to Rovinj to watch the World Cup Final. We’ve stayed in Rovinj a few times since we arrived in Istria and although The Adriatic Hotel is our favourite place to stay, we just can’t justify the prices in high season. But, it gives us an opportunity to explore and […]

We thought we knew Rovinj, in Istria pretty well as it’s now one of our go-to places when we need some sea air and a bit of comfort away from an on-going house renovation. We decided to stay somewhere different this time, and chanced upon the very stylish and boutiquey Casa Amando, run by two […]

Travels with our Guests

We’ve just said goodbye to our second set of friends who’ve been staying with us for a few days. Amanda and Steve had a few days in Italy first – they flew to Venice Marco Polo from Manchester and then spent a couple of days 30km north of Venice, in Treviso and then took the […]

Travels with our Guests

Spring has arrived and that means – hurrah! – our first visitors have arrived. We welcomed two very old (as in long-standing!) friends last week. We’ve had many experiences with them – they were our neighbours in West Didsbury, we went to their wedding in Greece and have shared many parties and late, late nights […]

Scary Monsters…

Istria is known as Terra Magica. And it certainly is a land of magic, and traditions. As people whose lives are very much reliant on modern technology and the internet, it’s fascinating for us to see at such close quarters, old ways of life, still very much in evidence. Where we live, we are surrounded […]

Best Laid Travel Plans…

So, here’s what happens when you get a bit cocky on your travels. This is a salutory tale, and if you ever come to visit us, we hope you avoid the rooky errors we made… We’d had two glorious days and nights in Venice, experiencing the festival and were due to collect a hire car […]

Hotel Adriatic, Rovinj

Since our first visit to Rovinj, I have wanted to stay in the beautiful Hotel Adriatic, a luxurious boutique hotel, located on the main square and overlooking the picturesque harbour. The official website describes it as being: Transformed from a place to sleep into a place for dreamers, Hotel Adriatic is an intimate space bringing […]

Our first night in Rovinj was not as we’d expected. We’d booked two nights in Casa Cerin and clearly hadn’t done our usual amount of research, as we left the next morning. You can see my review on Booking.com, so the least said about it here, the better. Having discovered the beautiful historic centre of […]

Rovinj, Croatia

Rovinj, Croatia

Our love of Italy is strong. Very strong. Very few places have even come close to stealing our hearts, but we think we might be about to commit adultery. Although, we feel not too guilty as what we are about to do is with Istria, a region in northern Croatia which had a long period […]
