Hotels near Stari Tar, Porec

Lovely boutique hotel right on the water. If we come back to Novigrad, we will definitely return here. The staff is very professional, courteous, polite, and helpful. Suite has – private elevator to room from lobby; sauna (which we did not use); living room with sliding glass door to deck with frig; bathroom with (very tight fit shower) and door to deck; large bedroom with shelving, safe, and sliding glass door to deck; full length of suite deck with hot tub, sunbeds, and table overlooking west view of sea. Lovely turquoise blue and white color scheme; very clean. The bed had German style individual duvets. The shower is half of the tub with a movable partial glass “door” over the tub that makes for a very tight squeeze, with a sloped tub floor down to the drain on the opposite side of the tub; the tub floor is very slippery. The water pressure is not good and the shower is hard to use.The air conditioning works very well. There is not an assigned parking space; we had to park in a very tight fit at the marina about a ten minute walk away but the car was safe. The hot tub on the deck is marvelous at sunset. Check it when you first arrive – the lid was off and the water was very cold (because the lid was off, which the hotel person did not seem to understand), so we closed it up and turned the temperature up so we could use it the next day. The breakfast is buffet, with a small selection. There is not much of anything that is healthy (low calorie / low fat) other than the cherry tomatoes used as garnish on other offerings. Fruit is “whole”, not cut up or sliced. Bread is pretty stale (sliced, not rolls). The outdoor terrace is wonderful – across the pedestrian path and in a covered glass building right on the water. The a la carte omelettes are very good. The hotel is right on the pedestrian path along the water, with a cement slab below the glass dining pavilion. The sunbeds cost 18 euros per person even for hotel guests, which does not seem appropriate given the expense of the rooms to stay there; they should be free for hotel guests. Restaurants close early! We had trouble finding restaurants open and serving food after 9 pm. There is a grocery store a few blocks away.

My sister got married in Croatia last August and myself and my family and many of the other wedding guests stayed in this hotel. We had an amazing time here!! The views were great, the food was great but the highlight of my stay had to do with the ever so friendly staff. To name a few, in the dinning area, Emilio, Alexandra, their colleague from Bosnia I forgot his name. Jovana and from front desk, Maria helped me a lot with organising appointments and so on. And the night time front desk staff, I believe he's from Serbia, he was very friendly and helpful too. I wish to see them all next time I visit. I regret that I am leaving this review a year late but I have not forgotten all the lovely smiles and the great service in the 9 days I stayed at your hotel. Hope you are all doing well!!! :) Lisa

The hotel is a little gem. Fabulous location on the Porec waterfront, well appointed and comfortable rooms, a genuinely world class breakfast /brunch offer and lovely helpful staff. We arrived mid-day and were quickly taken yo our room (301 , superior sea view). The room was not the largest in the hotel but for us was great as it was very quiet and peaceful with spectacular views over the harbour and nearby island. We did hear other guests saying their rooms were a little noisy, we think on 1st floor above the bar, but as I said, upper floors were peaceful. You could if you were so inclined eat so much during the longest breakfast /brunch that you will not eat again that day and just take the complementary boat to the hotels island and beaches to rest...... but then you would miss out on the champagne and canapes provided between 5 pm and 6 pm daily. This hotel likes to feed you!! Fabulous hotel run by fabulous people. will return again soon.

It is a beautiful location overlooking the sea. The rooms and bathroom are spacious with a sitting area. Beds are good. It was very clean and quiet. No noise and loud music or rowdy crowd. Delicious. If you like a DJ you can walk to one of the other hotels. These are on the same site. We had breakfast and dinner. That was a lot of choice and really tasty. We will definitely go back to this hotel.

We have been going to hotel Molindrio for 10 years with my parents and sister and are club members. Every year has been a great experience but that all changed this year. From the beginning the reception has told us every year that we are free to use the beach at hotel Parentium and we are also able to use the white chairs to lie down. We have been doing this ever since. This year we were approached by life guards at the beach asking us why we were using the white chairs if we are not guests of hotel Parentium, because this was not allowed. We explained that we have been doing this for years and had been told by the reception that this was not a problem because we were guests at the sister hotel Molindrio. When we made the reception aware of this altercation with the life guards they first claimed that these chairs were never offerd to us by the reception and that we were lucky that we had not been caught earlier for using these chairs ( which made us feel absolutely horrible, we just did what the reception has told us for years that we could do ), after we explained that we are not lying and have been guest for 10 years and have always been using these chairs they switched up the story and told us that there is a new management and there are new rules so we cannot use these chairs at the beach anymore ( so now we are not liars but the new director has given these orders, reception could have just told us this from the start instead of making us look like liars ). So we had to lie down on the concrete. My dad has a bad back and instead if a relaxing vacation his back got even worse from lying on the hard concrete with just a towel. Absolutely disgraceful! Furthermore the food this year was of very poor quality. The fruit they served was either rotten or without taste, which left us really feeling disappointed especially because we have been coming here for years and have always been so satisfied with the food. Needless to say we will not be coming back anymore after being treated this way. We are very disappointed.

We visited as a family of five in Aug 2023 for a week. Initial impressions were great, a bag meal on arrival having missed dinner due to our flight. Day one, woke up early, lovely view from our apartment and great weather, food was ok and lots of choices for breakfast. We ate at the pool bar first day which was nice to snack on. The hotel also provides Pizza at 5pm. The three teenagers enjoyed the water sports provided, however I was a little concerned not life jackets were provided. A duo played a nice set in the evening for entertainment. The next three days we had terrible weather, this made us start to look us look at the facilities in the hotel. Although refurbished, the rooms are small, three persons in deluxe room consists of a small camp bed was not ideal. Rooms were cleaned daily, however we were left without loo roll on two days. The lighting in the corridor is not safe, having activated after you walked down the stairs from the second floor. The most shocking thing is the smell from the communal toilets, which clearly haven’t been cleaned in weeks, also walking passed the gents my wife could see men doing a number one which was unpleasant. Massive lack of evening entertainment during the rest of the week, mediocre food, lack of atmosphere and a struggle to find anything to do. The pool table is awful and needs replacing, did not work. Mini club staff were sat on their phones paying no intention to anything. The all inclusive beer an d wine is poor quality and only local top shelf is served after 9pm. The lack of being able to pay for premium drinks on card was also disappointing. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Croatia unless you want to go to bed at 9pm

Arrived here a few days ago. A fairly simple 40-45 drive from Pula Airport (toll roads). Check in was fast & efficient. We were upgraded which was a surprise & a very welcome one! The room is fantastic. It’s more of an apartment than a hotel room with spacious rooms, amazing views & well equipped. The first thing that struck me was how modern the apartment is but also how clean it was. Absolutely spotless. The room has a free safe, a TV with a few English/American channels. Fridge freezer, microwave, coffee machine & an abundance of storage! Everything you need for a weeks holiday is provided & we’ve not had to ask for anything since our arrival. If you hire a car there is parking outside every room so no need to worry about leaving your car anywhere. The pool area is large, clean & plenty of Sun loungers (no need for getting up early & reserving beds). The grounds are immaculate. With sea & harbour views almost everywhere. A small pebble beach is available for guests with calm, safe waters. We are half board & the food is really very good. So much choice, cooked fresh at the time of service & tasty. I will say if you’re looking for nuggets & chips etc you’ll be disappointed. Not a chip in sight. But plenty of alternatives & there is fresh pizza every night! The staff are very friendly. The hotel is in a great location just a 5 minute walk into the small harbour town centre of Vrsar which has a small but good selection of restaurants, bars & shops inc. a small supermarket. I desperately want to give this hotel a top score but unfortunately just a couple of very minor criticisms stop me from doing so. Firstly, the beds are a tad uncomfortable for me. I’m sure most people will be fine with them though. Secondly the hotel is very large spread out over a big area. There are quite a few steps & slopes to navigate which might be an issue for some people. There are actually outside escalators which are really welcome at times so don’t think it’s all leg tiring, it isn’t. Lastly I’d have personally liked a small gym. There is one available to guests at a charge in a neighbouring hotel but this isn’t convenient to me personally. Other than those few minor points this hotel is faultless and I will be coming back. One thing we have noticed which isn’t an issue for us, but Brits are very few & far between. If you’re looking to meet new people you may struggle a bit but that could be because it’s out of high season. This hotel is sold through TUI so height of summer might be different.

Dinner is good, breakfast is good, the room is clean enough, the beach behind the hotel is very comfortable, the main town of Rovinj is too beautiful, you can consider staying here for two consecutive nights, the parking is free, you need to walk for 5 minutes, suitable for children, floor The pool and the outdoor pool are very good, it is recommended to go
