Opposite to the Brijuni Islands, surrounded by the Mediterranean macchia, olive-groves and wine-yards, only 2 km away from the sea shore, Stancija Meneghetti is immersed into the monotonous sound of crickets and Mediterranean scents. Built in the vicinity of the biggest Austro-Hungarian stronghold in this area, Stancija Meneghetti was the place of rest for officers and their guests. There they could hide from the blazing Mediterranean sun or get warm beside an Istrian fireplace, have a glass of wine and eat home-made cheese and smoked ham. Like many other estates at the Mediterranean, this one is a mixture of urban and rural elements, modern and traditional ones, surrounded by intact nature. Built of white Istrian stone, the same one that glitters like lace on St.Marcus' Square in Venice, Stancija Meneghetti is harmoniously incorporated into the central part of an ample, cultivated space, like an island in the sea of peace and green foliage. Conceived as a separate "station" with independent production of basic ingredients of healthy and currently so popular Mediterranean cuisine, it continues the tradition of producing best olive oil and wine. All delicacies from the big kitchen table of Stancija Meneghetti, from the exotic truffle, cheese, prosciutto ham, oil, vine, wild asparagus, salads, tomato and other vegetables come from our (and your) garden or the closest neighbourhood and are prepared daily in the kitchen of the Stancija.
