​Located in the quiet center of Opatija, Villa Palme is only 300m to the city center and 350m from the sea.  Each apartment at Villa Palme has its very own view of beautiful Kvarner Bay along with views of the islands Krk and Cres. The city of Rijeka provides a stunning backdrop to Kvarner bay - an especially stunning sight to see during the evening hours.

About Croatia and Opatija
Situated below the mountain and Nature Park Učka, Opatija (old names: Sankt Jakobi, Abbazia) is a superb choice for a holiday in the summer and winter season.

160 Years of Toursim
Tourism first began in Opatija in 1844 when the leading citizen of Rijeka, a merchant called Higin Scarpa, built the Villa "Angiolina", and named it after his deceased wife. The Villa was soon visited by many of the merchant’s family friends and business partners, along with a number of other distinguished noblemen and noblewomen. Most notably, the Croatian Governor Josip Jelacic spent his holidays here with his wife in 1850. As too did the wife of Emperor Ferdinand I, Empress Mother Mary Ann, spent the entire balmy season here in 1860. Opatija, with its sheltered location, mild climate and green landscapes soon attracted the attention of the Vienna Southern Railway Company, which bought the Villa "Angiolina" from Count Chorinsky in 1882. In 1884, after only ten months of work on the property, the Railway Company opened the "Kvarner", the very first hotel of its kind in the eastern coast of the Adriatic. The event marked the beginning of a very dynamic and active building period in the region.
