"The bungalow was clean and well maintained. The standard was very basic (no AC or fan, very old kitchenette with two old-fashioned slow stovetops, very few cooking utensils.) There are shutters for the windows. The main advantage is the convenient location adjacent to the beautiful beach, with two restaurants, supermarket and bakery.) There are nice snorkeling reefs to the southeast of the main beach."

"Hotel was lovely. Many reviews read before we're negative but the room was modern, clean and relaxing. The hotel itself doesnt have a reception but the facilities are available at the neighbouring hotel including the pools. Breakfast was delicious. On negative is charging hotel guests for sunbeds around the pool. This was not good."

"Big apartment with plenty of beds, cooking facilities and washing machine. No dryer. Water and wine to welcome us. A little difficult to understand parking and apartment location video but manager responded to questions with a screenshot of parking location and the apartment location. Nice unique location in the old city and near the waterfront "

"A wonderful apartment and surprisingly spacious! Location is ideal with a short walking distance to the Portland sea. The owner was extremely helpful and welcoming. "

"We loved this property. It's a 100-year-old stone structure that's been beautifully renovated to create a very airy and comfortable interior. Lots of space, very clean, and a great outdoor eating area. The neighborhood is residential, but still a quick drive to restaurants and groceries, and centrally located among Piran, Croatian wineries, and some wonderful biking/hiking trails along the coast. The host was super responsive and helpful with questions we had about the area.

"It was really nice, although I didn't realize that the bathroom didn't include a toilet. The entire "resort" was very family oriented, so i probably wouldn't have chosen it, but this is more my mistake."

"Clean accommodation
Rentees should be aware that there are no cleaning remedies plus buy or bring e.g., toiletries
The renters representative was very helpful with issues"

This is a very remote area, so it was extremely peaceful and beautiful. Food options are well over 20 mi or more away. It is off season, a lot of places around were closed, including the nature activities. If you are looking for a serene retreat this if your place, I would have loved to use the pool but it was out of season. Beautiful traditional stone house.

The Hotel is a really nice place with a nautical motif. It's right at the marina in Novigrad, and within walking distance to a few nice restaurants. The staff is super friendly, and the parking is outside, but secure. Breakfast is a small buffet, but they offer ala carte items as well. Overall, the place to stay in Novigrad.

This lovely property sits in the hills of Istria just waiting for its moment to shine. And it does not disappoint. The owners have carved a modern boutique hotel into what appears to have been a well situated former farmhouse. They kept all the quaint characteristics intact while making the space comfortable any cozy for guests. And stay for the delicious dinner which is lovingly paired with local wines - outstanding!

The hotel staff was amazing and took good care of you. Emily was very helpful and extremely pleasant. The view was my favorite part. Room was very comfortable.

It's not obvious from the pics but the location is not on the beach but is a very easy walk to the beach and town (like five minutes). I was there to see how the lesser towns in Istria celebrate Advent which is a big deal in this region. Small town, big party!

I've been going to Porec for 5 years now, primarily in the summer months. The Parentium is far and away the nicest resort in the area and usually the most expensive. It is the only property I know of in the area with a beach that can be described as sandy. The staff has always been a little chilly. Being massively concerned with the number of people in your room. I learned a couple of years back to always book for two people because it costs the same as one on the internet, but if you only...

The Valamar Riviera Hotel offers a superb location right on the waterfront and next to many restaurants and bars. We were greeted by the friendly staff who facilitated a very smooth and pleasant check-in. Our hotel room was clean and comfortable and met (or even exceeded) our expectations.
The breakfast buffet was delightful and included fresh breads, cold cuts, fruit, cereal, eggs, sausages, juice, yogurt, etc.
Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer!
