Overview & Description
Spacio Matika is a place where the people of Rovinj kept, tasted, and sold wine in their stone houses. It was also a place for socializing, dining, playing card games such as “briškula” and “trešeta,” singing, and having fun.
Here, the noblest fruits of the land and the sea come together: local Malvasia and Teran wine, homemade olive oil, fish, and seafood freshly caught by local fishermen. It’s difficult to describe the experience of an evening in Spacio, but if we must try, it’s like a well-prepared seafood stew. The flavors and aromas of the Istrian cuisine are specially spiced with the smiles and hospitality of the waitress dressed in a typical Rovinj costume, serving you and making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed. When you add the performance of “bitinàda,” a traditional way of singing, interpreted by excellent singers from the cultural and artistic society “Marco Garbin,” the visit to Spacio Matika is a unique experience for all ages!
To complete your traditional experience of Rovinj, choose the additional service Batana boat tour. This magical experience usually begins at sunset, from Mali mol (the small pier in front of the Ecomuseum Batana), around the peninsula of the old town, all the way to Spacio Matika, where the gourmet and musical program of the Ekomuseum-Ecomuseo continues. Please note that if you choose the Batana boat tour experience, the meeting point with your hosts is in front of the Ecomuseum Batana in Rovinj.
