We spent our holiday in Poreč in the wonderful Boutique Hotel Mauro. We stayed there for 7 nights and it was a great experience! Hotel has an excellent location, in the center of Poreč, so you are very close to main streets and a beautiful lungo mare where the sunsets are simply stunning. ||The hotel has a great and very helpful and friendly staff and they are undeniably one of hotel's greatest strengths. They helped us in every way they could and made us feel very welcome. ||The hotel has a couple of pools and a beach (both pools and the beach are shared with camp Materada) but they are not really within a walking distance. However, the hotel is very well organised so You have transportation to the pool and the beach basically during the whole day (there was a break between 1 PM and 4 PM in order to help incoming guests). The pool is wonderful and perfect for a relaxing vacation. ||The room was cozy and well furnished with comfortable beds. The breakfast was excellent, made from fresh ingredients and had everything you can think of with very fine homemade pastry. ||To conclude, Boutique Hotel Mauro is a wonderful hotel, with amazing staff, very well organized and ideal for an amazing vacation!||I also want to say that Poreč is a wonderful coastal town and the whole of Istria has a very special atmosphere, unlike anything I felt elsewhere. There is a beautiful sense of peace and joy there, a sense of place marching to the beat of its own drum, completely unfazed by hysteria of modern world. If you really want to relax and regain your inner joy, Istria is the...
Read moreThis hotel is in an excellent position on the waterfront in the old town of Porec. Having read previous reviews we chose this hotel, however our experience was not the same. Our room was large and well appointed, but there was a list of at least five things that didn't work or were faulty, the relevant member of staff had obviously not checked the room before we arrived. Although the room was very clean and comfortable, we were so disappointed by the amateur level of service. It took a young university student who was on work placement, to use her initiative and sort out all our problems. We made good use of the shuttle to the lovely swimming pools and beach area. That driver was very professional and helpful. The breakfast was truly superb, delicious fruit, a stunning spread of cold meat, cheese, bread and pastries, and eggs included. The waitress in the breakfast area was also friendly and efficient. We genuinely have a dilemma, as to whether we would return, if the organisational problems and details in the rooms have not been resolved. We loved...
Read moreExcellent hotel at perfect location. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful in every matter. Since the hotel is located in the narrow citycentre parking in front of the hotel is not possible, but the staff takes care of your vehicle and transfers it to the outskirts of town and will pick-it up again for you if needed. Nice rooms, tidy and very clean. The only slight negative point is, that there are some rooms facing the inside and therefore don't get too much ambient light (no big deal at all). The hotel offers a transfer to a nerby camping with a nice beach/pool, which is included (also for beach towels, chairs and umbrellas)...
The greatest thing about Hotel Mauro is it's staff. They are as friendly and helpful as it could get. We felt like they really cared about us and not, that we are just some random guests like in many other places. We (a young couple from Europe) travelled together with friends, who had a 4-month old baby. They really took great care about...
