Could have been so good
We booked this hotel for its good food, comfort and peacefulness away from a busy resort. All of this went well until the final night when a very noisy wedding party continued until 4.45am. The hotel management apologised and we happily agreed compensation with them which, later, they arbitrarily reduced. This is a good hotel with a dedicated team but the problem was handled badly. Suggest you check if there is a wedding booked during your stay. If not then it should be on your list to consider.

Lovely room, excellent meal!
This was our favourite hotel during the 10 days we spent travelling Croatia and I'm happy to write a good review. I liked the themed decoration and lighting throughout the hotel, it was well thought out and very attractive. Location: This is a great place away from the crowds and other tourists, yet only a few minutes from the beaches. Room: Quiet, huge room, with a nice view of the pool and surrounding area. Two single beds pushed together to form one large king size bed, plus a fold out bed with privacy curtain. Electrical outlet on each side of the bed. The bathrobes were much appreciated. There is a refrigerator you can use to store cold drinks in. Bathroom: the shower had excellent water pressure and lots of hot water, something we don't always get in hotels! There's a hair dryer, bidet, and plenty of sink space for your toiletries. Soap/shampoo is in a wall dispenser. Dining: We had dinner in the restaurant and I can honestly say it was the best during our entire stay. I ordered traditional Croatian dishes and there is plenty on the menu...meat, fish, and vegetarian selections. Breakfast had a standard cold buffet of meat, cheese, breads, cereal, and yogurt...also was offered eggs cooked to order and freshly made coffee. Everything was very good.

Clean, modern and spacious interior and room. Nice grounds. Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ample. Food at the restaurant was exceptional, to the extent, that our group chose to return for evening meals rather than eat out. As the Hotel is in a village, own transportation is essential for access and enjoyment of the surrounding areas in Isteria.

Phenomenal food.
What a surprise! A boutique hotel (12 rooms) in a tiny village, in the pointy bit of Istria. Enourmous rooms. Top class menu and execution. Ample breakfast buffet. Family run hotel, with the patron being an award winning chef, and occasional receptionist. Spotless inside and out. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Excellent WiFi too, measured at 6Mpbs.

Not the most elegant but my best hotel experience
This hotel is worth much than its cost. The owner seems to double up also as a waiter in its restaurant so I needed to wait for about 15 minutes to check in but boy isn't he good. He gave me a very friendly check-in once he was done with his restaurant service. He told me quite a bit about the history of his country. He let me borrow the only water boiler in his kitchen as the room does not provide any. And he even offered to cook me a dinner but too bad I wasn't hungry then. The next morning I opened the window just to be surprised by the very pleasing view of the pool and the field outside. The breakfast and service is classy. All in all, I got my money's worth and much more at this place. I would definitely stay with them again if I ever come back to this area.

A Little Further Out is SO Much Better
Daughter and I wanted to visit Pula. Sisan is about 15 mins out by car. Much more room, free parking, excellent food, fewer (narrow cobblestone street) issues. Better space for less money. Friendly, helpful staff.
