      Lovran and its surroundings is nice specifically for beach vacation
      While there are special dog beaches they are quite small and typically do not offer any facilities. So when doing vacation with a dog activities are further limited.

      Lovran is nice and quiet
      Lovran is nice and cosy resort not far from Rijeka. It''s easily reachable by bus 32. Lovran is good for quiet seaside vacation alone or with family or friends or a romantic partner. The place has shops, cafes and restaurants. The old town is very beautiful: a combination of Italian, Croatian and Austro-Hungarian cultures.

      the bus connections are regular and not expensive, in all directions 👍🏻
      The 🚢 trip to the three islands is not recommended, too little time in the city, no beach to relax and the food that was prepared for us on the ship 🛳 was horrible

      Completely relaxing vacation
      The house had everything, it was big and spacious. The two outdoor spaces meant you could hide away in the shade. The house is in an ideal location, right by the sea. You don't have to load anything into the car, look for a parking space and possibly pay parking fees until you get to the beach. You walk straight from the house into the sea. Wonderful. We'll definitely be back.
