BO Hotel Palazzo

Best for views and culture  

Poreč’s oldest hotel and a genuine ‘boutique’ property. The building dates back to 1910 and was built and designed as a luxury hotel for aristocrats and wealthy holidaymakers. The hotel was fully refurbished in 2009 and has seamlessly combined its original Venetian style character with all modcons.  Palazzo is at the edge of the ancient old town, and from one side has excellent views over Porec, on the other, a view over the sea to Sveti Nikola Island.

There are 74 rooms and suites, all with ensuite bathrooms, and fully air conditioned have satellite TV, free wireless internet, safe, mini bar and hairdryer.  There are 3 room types, Classic with  town views, Premium which are larger and Superior which are larger still.  Most rooms have a sea view. All are decorated in calm cream and caramel shades and most have a balcony (on request).

Inside the hotel has some opulent touches with the extensive use of chandeliers, original oil paintings, and some excellent Louis XV style soft furnishing. The hotel’s a la carte Restaurant Parenzo specialises in Istrian specialties.
The buffet breakfast may be taken either inside or on the extensive terrace,  There is an a la carte evening menu as well.  Enjoy either of the 2 bars or waterside café.   There is a superb outdoor infinity pool with terrace, sunbeds and parasols.  As well as a lovely Spa to relax in which also has a sauna and massage facility and wine therapy which we cannot wait to try!

Whilst its not possible to swim from the front of the hotel, it does boast a large infinity pool with plenty of sunbeds and parasols, and a lovely bar which offers light refreshments and drinks throughout the day.  The nearest beach is approximately a 10 minutes stroll away or why not take the boat to the island of Sveti Nikola which takes about 5 minutes. For the active, there is nearby tennis and golf, and cycle hire.

Completely Croatia says: a lovely boutique property which combines fantastic views with easy access to the quaint  town of Porec.
