Villa Valade is situated in the small Istrian town of Bale, almost halfway between the tourist hotspots of Rovinj and Pula, and only 3km from the sea. This is why it is a perfect starting point for various excursions.

In Bale, you will find all the basic infrastructure that you need for a carefree vacation: a small supermarket with butchery and bakery, a post office, bank and ATMs. Rovinj, the nearest bigger town, will enchant you by its medieval streets and warm Mediterranean setting. The main Church of St. Euphemia keeps relics of the saint and presents one of the most beautiful Baroque achievements in Istria. From the church plateau there is a wonderful view of the open sea and numerous islets in the distance. A visit to the Rovinj Town Museum and the town’s many galleries will complete your cultural experience. Its surroundings offer immense possibilities for recreation: biking, horseback riding, jogging. But, owing to the sea and what it has to offer, ranging from sailing to discovering the underwater world, its therapeutic properties, today Rovinj is the destination for tourists from all over the world.
