Hotel berhampiran Park J. Dobrile, Porec

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.

As frequent visitors to Rovinj, The Adriatic had always provided a welcome spot for a drink whilst waiting for a ferry or just to watch the world go by. This year we had the opportunity to stay (albeit for one night) and we were delighted with what the hotel had to offer. A spacious and tastefully decorated room with a stunning view of the square and beyond delivered a restful nights sleep in luxurious surroundings. The real bonus is the free access to the incredible pool facilities at the Grand Park (where rooms cost twice and much) and a friendly free buggy for those too weary to make the pleasant 10 minute walk. A delightful breakfast on the terrace, where thankfully the recent construction works had all but finished, provided a relaxing start for our onward travels. If you are looking to be at the heart of the action, cocooned in luxury, then this is the place for you. Special mention too to all the friendly and helpful staff who made our stay even more enjoyable.

Yet another 5 star visit to this amazing hotel. The hotel is located in a bay with breath-taking views. It is a flat 20 minute walk along a well-lit, paved promenade to Rovinj Old Town passing the Marina and harbour on the way. There are lots of restaurants and bars in The Old Town catering for all food tastes and price ranges. The food is also excellent in the hotel. There was an amazing choice at breakfast and if you choose to eat in the hotel of an evening, the restaurant is excellent. The interior of the hotel is lovely and hotel rooms and bathroom are so spacious and, thanks to the housekeeping team, everything was very clean and well-kept. All the hotel staff were very friendly and polite and reception staff were extremely helpful, with a special mention to Monika. We loved our stay, we love the hotel and we love Rovinj!

Only open seasonally. The staff I spoke with was from Bali and Lombok. They return to their country when the season is over or work on cruise ships. With only six room, it’s quite a cozy boutique hotel nestled in a beautiful area of Istria’s very lush and green countryside. The town is super small and quiet except for the music school where you can hear musicians practicing their skills. We were even serenaded by several singers when having dinner at one of the local restaurants. An impromptu performance that was charming. Something to remember. Of all the great hotels I stayed at during this nearly four-week biking trip, the staff here was definitely the friendliest though their English was not the most proficient. They tried so hard to please and be of service. They wanted so much to learn about us as well. Great conversations to be had. Breakfast can be eaten outdoor overlooking the valley or indoor. The weather was on my side so I went outside to enjoy the sun coming up over the valley and the fresh air. As the name indicates, the place was built in 1798 but was renovated in 2018. Beautiful rooms, modern and a bit on the eclectic side. Bright inviting colors, lots of space. The only issue I had was with the internet. It took ages and several tries to finally connect. They are proud to serve local food. Here, I got to taste the famous Skuta Sheep Milk Cheese. Everything fresh and delicious although not a lot of choices compared to most other hotels. Considering that there are only six rooms, however, it’s adequate. Nothing is far from this hotel as the walled town is minuscule. Few parking spots, most park at the church and walk to town. I came by bike so didn’t have to worry about that. It will take less than one hour to see it all. Artistic feel, medieval vibe. The day I was there, there was a small flea market in the courtyard in front of the hotel. Not sure how often that happens. Local artists were there. All in all, I would definitely return to this hotel should I be in this area again.
