Villa Luna Tinjan, Pool and Wellness

Tinjan - the town of prosciutto is a small town in Inner Istria, on the road that connects Porec with Pazin. It is only 17 km from Poreč and the first beaches, the most famous of which is the Green and Blue Lagoons. Porec is known for its many cultural events, cafes, restaurants, sports facilities, and beautiful beaches. East of Tinjan is Pazin, the main administrative center of the County of Istria known for its medieval Kastel. Tinjan is a place that proudly preserves its history and tradition whether it relates to the symbols of the area – stone dry walls and pools, Istrian traditional tools (kosiri and rankuni), folklore and architectural heritage, folk tales or legends, or relating to superior gastronomic specialties such as Istrian smoked ham (pršut). The tradition of the production of superb smoked ham is nowadays in the Tinjan area preserved by numerous registered smoked ham manufactories and in 2006 Tinjan proclaimed itself the Municipality of Istrian smoked ham. Another significant tradition of this region is the blacksmith trade with the wide known kosir (a miniature version of sickle always carried by the locals), so that during the festivities of St. Simon's Day in Tinjan there is the traditionally held festival of kosir and other blacksmith's craftworks where all the blacksmiths from Istra gather. On every step of the Tinjan region, you will meet ancient drywalls and dry stone field huts (kažuni).
