No I haven't stayed there but reviews seem pretty good ... seems very much a modern resort style hotel ... a complete contrast to the place we stayed in in the centre of Old Town Porec. Pools, beach & lazy areas were not what we aimed for as we have got all of that, as we're from Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia. Porec is a vibrant place with great restaurants, cafes & bars which kick on till the early hours. MATERADA is a few kilometres north of the Old Town so you will need to take that into consideration. But a delightful & popular town. OPEN at the moment ??? not sure - need to communicate directly with hotel I guess. Enjoy your travels.

The hotel is lovely set in woodlands. We have just come back after a week there. It’s 3 minutes walk to the nearest beach and about a 20 minute walk to porec town but a lovely walk. This is where the nearest shops are if you need anything for your stay.

Hi, was there in June and of course lots of the bars had the World Cup on so although I can't say for other sports, football was def shown then. I would think if they had football then they would have other sports too. Sorry can't be more help.

a lot will be closed as its outside the tourist season. However prices will go down and less tourists. Get a car and go on a few nice day trips into truffle country (motevun) and to pula.

Wide variety of restaurants to eat out with a wide range of prices.I wouldn't expect that you would have to pay a great deal more than eating out in Britain.

Istria is often named - ''Croatian Tuscany or Toscana''. That beautiful region is full of vineyards, they have magnificient truffles, and seafood is great, and that's the main food out there, besides pizzas and pastas, but Chinese or Indian food is really hard way to find, but you can find Chinese food only in other cities like Zagreb in continental Croatia or Split in Dalmatia...

Hi I am renting a place with walking distance to everything - apartment Sidro. or look for Spadici, Novo Naselje area.
