Hotel berhampiran TERRA ROSSA Organic Olive Oil Farm, Sveta Katarina

The twin beds were tiny. The A/C was miserable and may as well not have been there. But the worst was the shower; only a shower wand and no way to control it. I started with it on the fixed rod but it had a mind of its own and it decided to spray the entire contents of the bathroom when I turned it on. When I tried to take control I found that the handle was not attached to the wand so it still had the freedom to spray the room until I grabbed the actual spray head. I'm not sure why every hotel has to have a different shower experience, but I glad to be back in my own. If you have the ability to choose a different hotel, I would recommend doing so.

The hotel is in great location with view on charming Angiolina Park and the sea. From the balcony I could hear the concert of Norah Jones :-). Home made apple pie and berry cake (I ate both of them - 👌) are really home made. Big portions for two, and the price was surprisingly low (something over 2 euro per portion !!! in Croatia you don;t find such prices). And really nice lovely waitress - good english language. The guy playing concert was really good and most important his performance did not disturb our conversations at the tables. Will be back for an extended week in August.

We had the apartment in the basement, which is spacious, clean, has an incredible view and a huge bathroom with a jacuzzi(!). On the downside, the kitchen has no windows. The B&B and its hosts are generally very nice, it has a terrace with the same berautiful view over the surrounding valley. Breakfast is fine, too, with great coffee. The best thing about it: It is located in the very heart of Motovun, almost on top of the hill. You won't find a better place in Motovun, but it is not particularly cheap

This is a friendly and comfortable hotel, within easy reach of Lovran village and a pleasant coastal walk away from Opatija. I went with Just You Holidays for solo travellers and so was part of a fairly large group. My room was a good size, included a fridge with minibar and also a kettle (no tea or coffee provided). The bathroom was fine, with shower over bath. I had paid extra for a sea view, and was very glad I’d done so, as it was lovely to sit on my balcony looking at the sea. I got beautiful sunrises every morning. The rooms facing the road would have quite a bit of traffic noise and fumes, whereas I was able to keep my balcony doors open all the time. My only criticism about the bedroom is that the carpet is worn and in need of a clean. Otherwise, everything was spotless. There are 3 pools: 2 outdoor and one inside, also a wellness centre and gym which I didn’t use. The adult pool outside was salt water, which I liked. Plenty of sunbeds around the pools and in the garden, but that side of the hotel is in the shade from mid-afternoon. The beach to the left of the hotel, 5 minutes walk away, stayed sunnier for longer and personally I enjoyed swimming in the sea. It’s pebbly, so take or buy water shoes. The water is wonderfully clear and clean. Breakfast was good, with an excellent variety of foods. The dinners were ok, nice salads, but not much hot food choice for vegetarians. Plenty of fish. It was pretty standard package holiday hotel fare. Some of us went out to the harbour a couple of evenings, just for the joy of eating by the water and having waiter service! I would definitely return if staying in this part of Croatia, and I hope to explore more of that beautiful country.
