The Star of the Christmas Show ~ Rovinj’s Batana
Rovinj’s batana is a symbol of our heritage that combines different communities into one unified city of Rovinj, which is why it is the central motif of our Advent. The Rovinj dialect has a saying for boats going out into the open sea: “Bòne da bàti màr!” (Ready to conquer the sea!). Drawing inspiration from the saying, we say: “Ready for a good Christmas!”
Christmas Weekend by the Sea
Relaxing with a glass of mulled wine while feeling the sun on your skin provides an exceptional holiday experience. Discover the cosy atmosphere and good night’s sleep in Maistra hotels, where you’ll feel at home.
