With a weak USD, it’s nearly impossible to imagine Europe as a bargain destination for Americans. But on the beautiful island of St. Andrea in Croatia, the 4-star Hotel Istra is offering the jaw-dropping rate of $65 per night for a double room, valid from September 29 to December 22.

While this is technically the off-season for this coastal retreat, there are plenty of advantages to visiting early in the off-season. The weather has cooled off a bit from the excessively hot months of July and August to a balmier temperature that is perfect for basking in the sun on the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast. Even during the winter months, it’s possible to have mild weather.

It’s also considerably less crowded during the off-season. Included in the rate is a daily buffet-style breakfast and complimentary transfers via boat to the nearby town of Rovinj. Also included is one admission to the Zen Spa, which offers both Finnish and Turkish sauna, outdoor and indoor whirlpools, hydro-massage, a Kneipp Foot Bath, and a resting area where you can let everything sink in.
