Villa Angiolina: A Symbol Of The Elegant Past Of Opatija

Croatia is a famously popular holiday destination, particularly for those in search of sun, sea, and fun, as it has a long and incredibly beautiful coastline dotted by lots of amazing resorts and seaside towns. Many of these towns are slick and chic and filled with modern developments and villas but there are some older and more historic settlements among them. In particular, one of the most beautiful and intriguing seaside resorts is Opatija, which was a popular coastal getaway and fashionable resort in the 19th century and remains filled with stunning Habsburg-era villas to this day.

Opatija is a pretty and charming little gem that was in a bit of a decline for a long time but has been since revived in the last decade or so and now regularly draws a largely mature audience for its grand spa hotels, incredible location along the Adriatic, climate that supports pleasant weather for trips pretty much all throughout the year, and its famous Lungomare promenade that hugs the coast and offers wonderful views over the town and neighbouring islands. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation, a perfect seaside escape, and very pretty surroundings, a vacation rental in Opatija is an excellent idea.

During your time in Opatija, between swimming in little bays (as there aren’t real beaches to speak of), wandering the promenade, dining in the city’s brilliant restaurants, watching the sun set over the coast, and generally just kicking back and relaxing, you should probably head to the Villa Angiolina at some stage, which is the Croatian Museum of Tourism and the only traditional tourist attraction to speak of in the town.

Croatia is a famous holiday destination among sun-worshippers and sea-lovers as it boasts a long and scenic coastline, lots of little islands to be discovered, and wonderful Mediterranean weather, all at a pretty reasonable price-tag compared to many other locations in the area. The region of Istria, in particular, is well-known as an excellent coastal destination as is the area around the famous capital of Dubrovnik. However, there are plenty of other wonderful seaside destinations to be discovered. Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, for example, boasts a long coastline along the Northern Adriatic, some 55 islands, 86 harbours, lots of villages, towns, and cities by the sea, and endless beaches. If you love being by the sea then a vacation rental in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County is just the thing! In fact, it is in this region that you will find the island of Rab with rare soft, sandy beaches for Croatia that rival the perfect strands of the Caribbean. Another of the most appealing examples among these various coastal gems is the town of Opatija, which is where Croatian tourism was born and where you'll find one of the most unique and striking beaches in the country.

Located in an elevated spot amidst scenic and lush woodlands, overlooking the glittering Adriatic Sea and the charming seaside resort of Opatija, 5km from the nearest beach, Opatija Sky is a gorgeous, modern four-story villa that is ideal for those looking for a dream coastal villa in Croatia. With all of the basic amenities you could need within walking distance and a bus stop just 900m away, sea views and nature walks that allow guests to make the most of the natural beauty of this part of the world, a private pool, incredible interiors, and more, this stunning property has all of the bells and whistles you could ask for. Sleeping up to ten guests in total in four bedrooms with four bathrooms, this spacious villa is a perfect portal to the coast of Croatia and Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, in particular.

Rijeka is a charming port city on Kvarner Bay in the northern Adriatic Sea that boasts endless character, authenticity, incredible seafood, stunning Austro-Hungarian architectural gems, a vibrant nightlife, and a rich cultural heritage. With a proud working class background in shipping and ship-building that sees cranes adorn the same skyline as Hapsburg rooftops, this is an enduringly fascinating place that is quite removed from mass tourism. For those who want to find a vacation rental in Croatia but also want to experience a version of the country that is somewhat closer to the Croatia that locals know, then a holiday rental in Rijeka is just the thing. And, as the foodie culture is one of the city’s biggest selling points then be prepared to eat really, really well during your trip!

There are, of course, plenty of great places to eat while on vacation in Rijeka and plenty of places to shop for incredible local ingredients to bring back to a villa in Rijeka and prepare wonderful meals with your loved ones but a destination that combines both is the Rijeka City Market. A hotspot for locals who claim it the best place to eat since the 19th century, the main City Market is next to the shore and near the pier, leaving it mere footsteps from where fishermen deliver the freshest fish and shellfish you could imagine.

When one imagines a vacation in Croatia and time spent enjoying the coastline, they tend to think of hot summer days, sprawled out on the beach or splashing around in the water. However, there is so much more to Croatia than just sun holidays. There is a wealth of incredible natural beauty from towering peaks to glittering lakes to fascinating swamps to lush valleys where all sorts of outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed from hiking to zip-lining, to rock-climbing to, even, skiing. Yes, skiing! Many don’t think of skiing when it comes to Croatia and, certainly, it is not a major ski destination by any stretch of the imagination but there are some mountains across the country that support ski holidays during the colder months. These same mountains are also excellent spots for other leisure activities throughout the rest of the year so even if you miss the ski season, they are still worth seeking out if you like to stay active and take in the great outdoors while on vacation.

If you head to Rijeka during the winter, for example, you can head to Platak, a charming ski resort that is ideal for intermediate skiiers and that boasts views over the coast from its snowy peaks. Then, during the spring, summer, and autumn, you can also head to Platak for a different sort of thrill by trying your hand at mountain biking or enjoying the many different hiking trails around the area that afford truly stunning panoramas over the surrounding countryside and coast. So, just find yourself a villa in Rijeka and then come to enjoy the adventure and natural bounty on offer in this part of Croatia, no matter the weather or when you happen plan your trip!

City beaches are always the best combination of both worlds; allowing you to enjoy the cosmopolitan delights and endless options and amenities of a city and a relaxing day at the seaside all in one trip! There are several great examples of city beaches to be enjoyed if you find a vacation rental in Croatia – including the charming little beach that fronts the iconic bay at Dubrovnik – but one of the best of the best among these urban strands has to be Rijeka’s Sablićevo Beach. If you are thinking of planning a vacation in this gorgeous seaside city and you have found your holiday rental in Rijeka then you should definitely make a point of spending some time on Sablićevo Beach during your trip.

Excellent 5^/5 Villa Review Rating Details

We were a group of 9 retirees (4 couples and 1 single). This place was perfect for us - each having their own bedroom and bathroom. The elevator was a plus for some of the group. The location was great for doing side trips, including a day trip to Plitvice National Park, shopping and restaurants. Josip was very helpful in getting us settled and provided us with information on things to do and places to eat. The only trouble we had was finding the place - we could not find the road or the driveway even using our GPS. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this wonderful place.
