Located on the edge of the Mediterranean, on the shores of the Kvarner Bay and on the slopes of the Učka Mountains, which are treasured down to the sea, Opatija offers its climatic characteristics, beautiful architecture, quality hotels, beautifully landscaped parks, and promenades a pleasant stay throughout the year. The town of Opatija developed around the Benedictine Abbey of Sv. James first mentioned in 1453. At that time, Opatija was a village of only 35 houses located near the church complex. It counted only 250 inhabitants, oriented to maritime affairs, agriculture, and fisheries. The first charisma of Opatija was discovered by the Rijeka patrician Iginio Scarpa, building his mansion named Villa Angiolina for his deceased wife in 1844, which is an open path to the development of tourism. That was just the beginning! Under the patronage of Austro-Hungary begins the growth and development of Opatija.
