Pula, Croatia
|
 |
| Stunningly beautiful.Majestic
mountains. Brilliant blue sea. Steeped in history. The list
goes on and on 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 2008 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 – the language, cuisine, culture – with
one of the most popular excursions from Pula being the day trip
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 and, above
all, a warm Croatian welcome. |
| 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 (Pula) nearby
to explore and some really great excursions to enjoy (including
Venice), then the Brioni is tailor-made for you. |
