Explore the location
Rovinj, where Casa Amando is gracefully located, is a picturesque gem on the Istrian Peninsula, echoing centuries of cultural heritage and maritime charm. This former fishing village, with its cobbled streets winding up towards the hilltop church of St. Euphemia, offers breathtaking views of the Adriatic, painted with the vibrant hues of sunset each evening.
The town’s Venetian roots are evident in its architectural nuances, from the tightly packed old houses that line the narrow lanes to the balustraded balconies and quietly flourishing courtyards. Rovinj’s harborside is alive with the buzz of cafés and seafood restaurants, where the day’s catch is served fresh, paired with local wines that capture the essence of the region.
Casa Amando offers an ideal starting point to explore Istria's cultural and natural wonders. Just steps away from the serene Monte Beach and within easy cycling distance to Punta Cabana and Skaraba Beach, guests can enjoy everything from relaxing under shaded hammocks to snorkeling and scenic dining.
Nearby, a boat trip to Red Island offers local flavors and unique beach experiences. Further adventures await at Brioni Islands and Cape Kamenjak with their diverse recreational activities.
