When you stay at villa Palmeti, you're in a great spot to discover western Istria. Besides enjoying the closest beach, which is 5 kilometres away, we suggest you explore the charming town of Bale. Take a stroll through the old town's narrow stone streets and go see the Gothic-Renaissance Soardo-Bembo castle from the 16th century, a crypt with stone sculptures, a delightful city palace, and a farm with local aromatic herbs. Archaeological sites of churches and Roman villas will delight history buffs, while the whole family can enjoy the interactive exhibits in the multimedia centre. It showcases 200-million-year-old dinosaur bones that landed Bale a spot on the world list of paleontological sites. Once you have explored Bale, take the opportunity to visit the Istrian gems of Rovinj and Pula, which boast a wealth of cultural and historical monuments as well as a variety of top-class restaurants.
