Location
The house is on the hillside above the lovely little resort town of Ičići (14 minutes). Ičići is known for its marina, beautiful beach and coastal promenade. Sporting enthusiasts will find plenty to do, including tennis, badminton, volleyball and watersports.

Up the coast is the charming town of Opatija (20 minutes). This has been a popular resort since the 19th Century and, like Ičići, it is home to many fine villas. Whilst Opatija’s market hall is a source of the best local fish and other produce.

Away from the coast, there are wonderful hiking trails in the nearby hills and for winter visitors, there is even the ski resort of Platak (1 hour), for a day on the slopes.

The city of Rijeka (35 mins) makes a fascinating day out. Croatia’s main port has plenty of interesting places to visit. For self-catering, the market (Monday to Saturday mornings) is worth a trip. Here you can find local produce to prepare and enjoy back home.

Rijeka International Airport is just 50 minutes away.
