With a private beach club located nearby, Villa Gambalera is the perfect place to discover an authentically relaxed pace of life in the rejuvenating Croatian sunshine.

The beaches of nearby Barbariga are rugged and remote, while the white pebble shores and crystal-clear waters of Peroj are fifteen minutes away from the estate by car.
The charming town of Rovinj is a coastal gem on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula, around twenty-five minutes from Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery. A picturesque seaside town with narrow cobblestone streets and colourful architecture, here you can relax by the turquoise waters of Lone Bay Beach or enjoy a variety of watersports on Mulini Beach. Later, wander the labyrinthine streets of the old town before making your way to the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia, where you can take in panoramic views of the ocean and the cluster of tiny islands which surround Rovinj.
Hiking and biking enthusiasts will be enchanted by the scenic trails which are available in the immediate vicinity of the Meneghetti Estate, which lead out to stunning views of the coast or inland towards pretty medieval towns such as Bale. For an exciting day trip across the water, the untouched natural beauty of Brijuni National Park is a short boat journey away from the fishing port of Fažana. Here, visitors can enjoy the fresh island air whilst playing a round of golf, or take to the sea to enjoy kayaking, scuba diving and snorkeling adventures.
An obvious choice for wine lovers, the hotel offers individual winery tours and intimate group tastings during your stay. An olive oil tasting is another excellent way to discover the joys of Istrian cuisine and learn more about an ancient tradition associated with this special region of Croatia. For those who wish to try something a little different, why not speak to the attentive staff at the hotel about a unique truffle hunting expedition in the charming Istrian woodlands?
Later, enjoy a relaxing sunset swim in Villa Gambalera’s private swimming pool, before a delicious dinner under the stars at Meneghetti Restaurant, where traditional Istrian fare is given a modern, gourmet twist and prepared using the very best of seasonal ingredients.
