The Hotel BO Palazzo is a classic and classy hotel, dating back almost 100 years with historic photographs hanging in the lobby. It was completely renovated not long ago, and is tasteful, elegant, and gracious with a yellow and white color scheme décor and large crystal chandeliers. It has a wonderful waterfront location at the corner end of the marina pier, with direct south and west facing sunset views, and is within very easy walking distance to the charming old town of Porec, the rest of town, and the parklike waterfront with shaded walking path, beaches, and beach bars & cafes. The suite in which we stayed was larger than my first two apartments after college – the photos on the website, as much as we pored over them to determine which room to prioritize to reserve, do not do this room or, presumably, any other rooms justice. The suite has solid burnished wood paneling, windows on three sides, a large balcony facing the water, a bedroom with a sliding wooden door, a large living area, a large formal dining area with a very large table, an office area, and two full baths. The lighting is chandeliers and chandelier sconses as well as lamps. It’s beautiful and is probably one of the nicest and most elegant rooms in which we’ve ever stayed. The only improvements would be to : 1. Add shade onto the balcony terrace via unbrellas (without a sun umbrella, you could really only go out there in early morning and late day; 2. Replace the jacuzzi tub in the en suite bathroom with a real walk in shower with a ceiling mounted showerhead and floor to ceiling glass doors. The tub is a nice idea but you cannot use it as a shower, so two people staying in the room lose the convenience and time saving benefit of the two full baths and cannot get ready simultaneously. The breakfast buffet is wonderful, with a broad scope of traditional Croatian and more English / American options – a good assortment of fruits, vegetables, and pastries; exceptional gluteny fresh breads; terrific melon; and well made tasty omelettes. The only non 5 star aspect is the juice wall dispenser. Seating is on the terrace by the water. Car parking is at the Isabella Valamar Hotel lot; the Hotel BO Palazzo picks you up and drops you off in a van; it’s a 8 minute or so ride. Parking is safe. The parking lot is near the large community athletic and fitness center; you can buy a short term pass and use the very good gym also. The Palazzo’s gym is not really usable except, perhaps, in the winter as it is on the ground floor, facing west, is very small, has just a few pieces of equipment, and is unbearably hot and humid as the glass windows and skylights suck in all the sun and the humidity of the pool piles on. Thanks especially to Kosta, the van driver; Marija and Matej at Front Desk Reception; and Ines at breakfast.
