Opatija has a wonderful climate, tucked into a sheltered bay and backed on the landward side by Mount Učka. You will soon be as fit as a flea if you stay in an apartment rental in Opatija – the waterfront is an amazing 16 kilometres long, and is a lovely walk, linking the older Austrian inspired town with the newer tourist areas around the headland.

Opatija first became popular as a tourist destination in the nineteenth century when Austrian nobility and others rich enough built beautiful holiday homes which stand to this day. Even if you are not lucky enough to rent an Opatija serviced residence situated in one of the old houses you can still see inside, as many are now hotels. The pastel colours and wooden carved decoration make for a brilliant photo opportunity as you wander the streets of Opatija near your holiday apartment.

The slopes of Mount Učka house a nature park which will give you days of pleasure whilst in a holiday rental in Opatija. The park is heavily wooded, mainly with bay and pine, so the air smells wonderful and spicy, especially in the summer when the temperatures average a very pleasant 25°C and release all the aromatic oils in the trees. You might want to pack a spotters’ guide to wildlife when preparing for your Opatija short stay apartment holiday, because the woods are full of birds and animals which you might not recognise without some help.

Opatija loves to host special events and when staying in one of the serviced apartments in the town you will almost certainly find that one coincides with your holiday dates. There is something for everyone, from classic car rallies to opera seasons and if you are staying in an Opatija aparthotel at the right time and you are considered by your friends, other half, or just yourself, to be a bit gorgeous, why not enter the Mister Liburnia competition to find the year’s most gorgeous guest!

When staying in an Opatija holiday letting, you will probably find that you are enjoying the best weather in Croatia. The town is very sheltered and is usually warmer than the towns further down the coast. The town is very popular with Italian tourists, as it was once with the Austrian nobility and you will find that the multicultural side of Opatija is still very strong. Just a step outside your Opatija city centre (center) apartment you will meet people of all nations enjoying this lovely little town.

Serviced and self-catered apartments, flats, holiday lets and aparthotels can be up to 30% cheaper than most equivalent hotel rooms and are becoming increasingly popular due to the freedom they offer.
