The Neighborhood:

Pula, the largest city on the Istrian peninsula, has been a cultural hub since Roman times, with spectacular landmarks including the world-famous Arena amphitheatre, the Temple of Augustus, the Forum, and the Triumphal Arch of the Sergi. Stroll through the lively open-air market in the city centre, mingle with locals, and soak up the city’s spirit. The coastline offers a mix of rocky and pebble beaches, perfect for sun and sea lovers, while evenings come alive with festivals, concerts, and cultural events.



Just 10 minutes from Pula’s centre and the beaches of Pješčana Uvala and Veruda lies Vintijan, home to Cave Romana. This unique retreat was created from ancient farm buildings set in a hollow formed by Roman quarrying over 2,000 years ago, where prized white stone was once mined to build Venice, the Colosseum in Rome, and Pula’s own amphitheatre. Nearby you’ll find restaurants, bars, shops, wellness spas, sports facilities, golf, tennis, cycling, hiking, fishing, water sports, and more.
