Istria Pula,
Croatia |  | Stunningly
beautiful. Majestic mountains. Brilliant blue sea. Steeped in history. The list
is impressive but, put quite simply, words and pictures cannot do justice to Croatia,
a ‘must-see’ destination which we are delighted to include again in
our 2010 programme.
We have chosen the delightful Istrian Peninsula as the
base for our Croatia holidays and it’s easy to see why. It’s the largest
peninsula on the Adriatic coast with close geographical and historical ties to
Italy. Italian influence is in evidence everywhere and one of the most popular
excursions is to Venice, just two hours away by hydrofoil. Inland, the scenery
is green with rolling hillsides of forests and vines and pretty hilltop towns
whilst the coastal resorts are a series of attractive bays and secluded inlets.
Pula is a delight. It’s situated at the southern tip of the peninsula and
is a fascinating mix of Roman history and contemporary Croatian life. It’s
studded with landmarks of which the Roman amphitheatre is the most impressive.
The sea is crystal clear, the sightseeing superb and there’s good shopping,
excellent museums and art galleries. | Situated
just 4 kms from the centre of Pula and overlooking the crystal clear Adriatic
Sea, the Brioni is a modern, well-appointed hotel which offers guests very comfortable
accommodation in lovely pine-wood surroundings. There’s a regular bus service
into Pula from close to the hotel and taxis are plentiful and inexpensive.
The
hotel is divided into 4 separate parts, each sharing 2 sea water swimming pools,
extensive sun terraces with lovely sea views, reception lobby & lounge, TV
salon, a restaurant and a bar. All public rooms are air-conditioned and are well
appointed and nicely furnished whilst the Brioni’s guest bedrooms have a
balcony or terrace, satellite TV, telephone and a bathroom with shower and wc.
Sea view rooms are also available (supplement - £5 per day).
An added
bonus is that all Brioni guests can use the optional sports and leisure facilities
– sauna, gym and tennis - of its nearby sister hotel, the Histria. If your
idea of a great holiday is to relax in attractive, peaceful surroundings but with
the bonus of having a fascinating town nearby to explore and some really great
excursions to enjoy (including Venice), then the Brioni is tailor-made for you.
