[title]The surroundings could not be more tranquil. On the slopes overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Piran out in the Adriatic, the Casino Hotel Mulino overlooks the Piran Saltpans Nature Park. Vineyards, olive groves, orchards and historic hilltop Istrian hamlets line the landscape, the Mediterranean climate is mild and forgiving, wine cultivation and farm production the main activities in this unspoiled north-west corner of Istria with generations of Italian influence on cuisine and architecture.
The design of the Casino Hotel Mulino itself, while gleaming and contemporary, echoes the elegance of this timeless environment.
