Small Boutique hotels in OPATIJA

Opatija is anchored in the so-called Adriatic Riviera. This small city with a distinguished port transformed into a garden thanks to its mild Mediterranean climate sheltering it from cold winds. Its natural attributes and those cultivated by its inhabitants throughout the ages, attracted an elite tourism in the mid-nineteenth century (1850's). Known as the Pearl of the Adriatic or Old Dame, the antique large luxury hotels attest to its status as a winter health center for the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy of the time.

Its gardens and parks are legendary, indulged for centuries with the contributions of sailors from distant lands. In its lush vegetation, chestnut trees coexist with palm trees, citrus, aromatic herbs and Japanese camellia.

The splendid Botanical Garden of Opatija, with more than 150 species of exotic plants, also houses the Villa Angiolina from the mid-19th century. Now a museum, you can get a glimpse of the past splendor.

Opatija is located in the northeast of the Istrian peninsula. It is a beautiful region dotted with charming medieval villages such as Groznjan, Motovun and Hum. Surrounded by hillsides carpeted with vineyards and olive trees, on a coast of crystalline waters, it is a delight to travel here. The hotels of Opatija on the seafront of the city contribute to the deep Mediterranean quality of this destination.
