Cere is located in the heart of the Istrian peninsula, not far from the historic small town of Žminj. This region is often called the 'Istrian Tuscany' because of its rolling hills, fertile soils, and photogenic villages. The village of Cere itself is a prime example of the rural tranquility of central Istria, where the rhythm of life is still determined by agriculture. Visitors will find a variety of authentic accommodations here, especially the so-called 'stancija', historical estates that now serve as luxury villas. The architecture is characterized by solid stone and wooden elements, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The area is handy for those who want to unwind and enjoy nature. Central Istria is a paradise for foodies. In Cere and the surrounding area, there are numerous agritourism establishments offering homemade pasta like fuži and pljukanci, enhanced with wild asparagus or the famous Istrian ham (pršut). The region's wine roads also invite for tastings. Due to its central location, all the sights of Istria are reachable in a short time. Both the west coast with Rovinj and the east coast with Rabac are only about 30 minutes away by car. This makes Cere a well-suited base for tours across the entire peninsula.
