Porec's oldest hotel and a real pearl among the small Istrian hotels. Its history goes back as far as 1910, when the hotel was built and designed as a luxury hotel for the genteel aristocrat society and wealthy bourgeoisie. The hotel was reconstructed in 2009 respecting the architectural solutions from the beginning of the 20th century and combining the modern top-quality comfort with elegance.

It is situated at the edge of the beautiful old town nucleus, at the point which offers a great view of the mosaic of historic-cultural monuments of various period styles.

Istrien always has been the gate to the mediterenean sea for central Europeans, the coastel town, e. g. Porec as a glamorous Spa for the high nobility, Pula and Trieste as the main basis for the Austrian marine.
The first tourists to Porec in 1886 were nobilities of the Austrian-ungarian monarchy, first of all archduchess Stephanie, the mother of Franz Josef, and thereafter the archdukes Karl, Stephan and Karl Ludwig.

Istria has laid out its wonders in the garden of the Mediterranean, at the foot of the Alps. The blue Adriatic Sea washes its shores, and the towns strung like pearls along the coast: Umag, Novigrad, Poreč, Vrsar, Rovinj, Pula, Rabac - the towns that have made Istria a famous destination.
But there is also another Istria, a hidden Istria, whose treasures are also worth exploring - the inland heart of Istria, green Istria, a land between dreams and reality, a land of beauty and peace of history and clean, unspoiled nature. Its towns and its people will bid you welcome and let you share in their spirit and the times long gone.
Welcome to the land of history, beauty and vitality!
