Hotels near Alternative Scene Groznjan, Groznjan

Having been a fan of the San Servolo beer, when I saw this property it was a no brainer for me for our stay in Istra. And the resort really lives up to the high standard set by their excellent beers! The mobile home we stayed in was very nicely decorated and designed, and comfortably fit our family and our daughter's travel cot. The mobile home had its own jacuzzi which we very much enjoyed - a great way to relax after a day exploring the beauties of the Istrian peninsula. The pool at the resort was gorgeous (although too cold for my liking) and the pizzeria lived up to its billing as one of the best pizzerias in Istria. The breakfast didn't have the broadest selection of items, but everything on offer was of the highest order. The resort also had good kids facilities with a lovely playground area and all the room for our daughter to run around. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, so really everything about the resort was of excellent quality.

We had a short stay at Villa Borgo B&B in Motovun on our way from Croatia to Slovenia. Great location in the old town overlooking the valley below. The rooms are small but have everything you need, and ours had a wonderful view and the air conditioning kept it cool, despite the heat outside. We enjoyed an afternoon drink on the balcony and the breakfast included was good. Maura, Noah & the staff were very helpful from booking to check out, and were warm and friendly, and we were especially grateful for the pick up and drop off to the city gates with our many bags! A small and personal hotel, Definitely a good option if visiting Motovun.

Uniquely located with an a amazing view over the wine valleys as well as the old town of Motovun, and perfect location to discover Istria. Very friendly staff, great design with a twist, well kept place, amazing terras, super practical and spacious underground parking. Nice rooms (though the decor is a bit of an acquired taste), great breakfast buffet, and the à la carte restaurant is excellent, serving local produce. The perfect in house wine offer completes this amazing picture. A really unique experience and highly recommended. We will be back!

Ours was a hidden gem of a room, very colourful and full of pizzazz , inside a renovated 3 bedroom apartment, within Motovun's historical, medieval urban core, where fantastic, uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside open and take your eye on mile-long journeys at every turn. The restaurant across the street belongs to the same proprietor and we can not recommend it strongly enough. The room itself has air-conditioning, a fridge, a hair dryer and all the mod cons , but the funky layout exudes that charm of centuries past. This is a very bright, happy room right as you enter the Motovun town centre, replete with all manner of artsy little details - cute as a button.

My daughter and I have just spent 2 weeks here and can honestly say it is one of the best holidays we have ever had. The hotel is modern, very clean and has a welcoming feel about it. The rooms are a little small and only 2 people can sit on the balcony (very small) the bathrooms are modern with shampoo, shower gel and hairdryer available. Bathrobes and slippers provided. Mini bar and safe in the room. The food is amazing, loads of choice and good quality. It is the usual buffet/self serve and the dining room can get busy, but there are plenty of places to sit and the team ensure the tables are cleaned regularly. Drinks are expensive, approx €5.50 for a glass of wine amd €9 for a cocktail, that's the same everywhere I suppose these days. Supermarket and tourist information on site too with everything you need. On site gift shop, not much in there and never saw anyone in there either. ATM at the hotel, hairdressers and games room. The indoor pool is huge, with lovely sunbeds outside to relax on, jacuzzi, all very clean and relaxing. The beach is beautiful, pebbly so you will need some swim shoes. Sunbeds on the beach are payable €17 for 2 and an umbrella for the day. Beach towels are included and you can get clean ones each day. The watersports are reasonably priced, $12 for an hour paddleboarding, other things too like pedalos, kayak etc. The beach has a really relaxed feel about it, loads of grassy areas to sunbathe on too, some under the trees if you want shade. Novigrad town is a 10 minute walk away, really pretty with lots of shops, bars, restaurants. Nothing noisy, family orientated and chilled. There is a little road train that goes each way if you don't want to walk. The area feels safe, it is clean, very green, beautiful clear sea and bike hire available to get around to explore the sites. The cleaning team are lovely and work hard, the place was spotless! I would like to say a special thank you to Marko at the restaurant near the beach, he was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and we felt really well looked after. He should definitely be recognised by the management! I could go on and on, definitely worth a visit and hopefully we will be back very soon! Thanks Aminess Maestral team!

What a location for visiting Novigrad! Parking, a pleasant short walk to downtown, and views over the large marina from our terrace. The room was very spacious, large sitting area with a small fridge, nice bathroom, large bedroom - and all with views (even a small window in the bath). The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially when we asked advice about which wineries to visit. The selection of breakfast items was generous, we said it was a German-style breakfast: cold cuts, cheeses, fruit, cereals, yogurts, sausages, pastries and breads - and you can make your own espresso or Americano coffee, as well as having a choice of teas. We would have given a five-star rating except for the lack of air conditioning two of the four nights we stayed. Apparently we arrived just as the heat system was being switched to air conditioning and there was a glitch; not the hotel's fault but it was 26 degrees C in our room two. nights, and with no screens we didn't want to open windows. Everything else was wonderful, though, and we would stay here again.

The Bo Palazzo is a very special hotel, with a rich history and southwest facing location at the end of the marina jutting out into the harbor. It is lovely, impeccably clean, very stylish in a classic way, and very customer service oriented. It is within very easy walking distance of everywhere in the small old town and, although it is on the far west end of the peninsula that is old town Porec, it is not far (20-30 minutes) to walk through the Riva and marina area to reach the grocery stores, shopping mall, and shady park with walking paths and beaches (and the occasional WW2 concrete pillbox defense structure) on the far eastern side of town. The sunset views are lovely as are the views of the marina, riva, and sea. Parking is offsite, at the large Valamar lot near the large community sports center about 10 minutes away. It is safe. Call about 10 minutes before you get to the lot and the hotel van will come to pick up and transport to the hotel. It’s about an 8 minute ride to the hotel. The hotel has a pool area but no beach, and there were no suncobrans (sun umbrellas) this year. The hotel breakfast is still a nice buffet but the offering has slimmed down noticeably in the past year. The bread is some of the freshest and most gluteny that we had anywhere in Croatia this year. The fresh cut fruit is particularly good as are the omelettes. The cereal selection is skimpy – mostly all nuts and muselix. Seating is both indoors and outdoors; watch out for scavenging seagulls outside. The Suite in which we stayed was beautiful, with solid burnished wood panels, large picture windows on three sides, a large balcony facing the water, a bedroom with a sliding wooden door, a living room area, a large formal dining area with a very large table, an office area, and two full baths. The windows open, which is nice. The AC is individually controlled and works well. The window curtains do a good job blocking out light and sunlight. The lighting is very decorative and classy chandeliers, chandelier sconses, and lamps. There is a large empty hallway at entry that is wasted space in which some storage tables / chests of drawers would be very useful. There is a small frig hidden in a desk in the far corner of the dining / office room area; you need to take out the hotel’s products to make room for your own, The large master bathroom has good sink shelf space but we cannot use the shower ….it is a large jacuzzi tub with a shower head that is a hand held only (not mounted high enough to use as a showerhead) and there is no curtain or glass wall to contain the shower water in the tub, vs. on the floor, nor to shield the person taking the shower. The small bathroom off of the main door has a walk in shower which is a self contained unit. It has excellent water pressure and is easy to use, although it is dark. The pedestal sink in the second bathroom has no counter space. There is a built in storage closet with shelves and hanging area (need
