Tradition and Modernity with a Touch of the Mediterranean

Between the Karst Edge and the Adriatic Sea lies a region where the climate is particularly mild, the land is generous, and the people are genuinely hospitable. The tradition of simple, good living intertwines with the Venetian cultural influences, which took root here early due to the area’s strategic location. All of this is complemented by the fresh breeze of modern urban life.
