    They don't offer breakfast at Porta Antica but there was a nice place close by opening at 8am and offering a very nice breakfast at 19€ per person. There was also a very nice bakery nearby opening at 7am serving coffee.

    The location was great and Claudia was very helpful. Located 5 min walk from the ferry to/from Venice, Italy. The room was very nice but we had to go up 25 stairs to get there. You have to be physically fit to do that a couple of times a day. One thing very important is to travel with a carry-on and backpack. In Croatia if you book a place in the old town there are no car access so you have to carry your suitcases. The streets are cobblestoned and it's hard to pull a big suitcase. Better be warned than sorry 😉

    Zone 1 car park charge were expensive but nothing to do with the hotel

    The welcome to the hotel was lovely helping us to our room. Amazing Our attic room was charming, with exposed beams and roof, great siting area overlooking the harbour and little kitchen. Location could not have been better!!! Beds and pillows were really comfy. Help getting to and from the hotel in the golf buddy

    Nothing, everything was lovely

    Claudia the host. Stays on contact with you the entire time. From where to meet if you need parking, the keys for check in and driving you back to your car with your luggage at the end of your stay. We wanted to stay forever. Great view of the marina, you're right on the promenade. Great comfort, great restaurants, beautiful places to walk for leisurely exercise in morning, afternoon, or after dinner.

    Hosts were extremely helpful & nice! Even picked us up from the parking location & brought us to the hotel via golf cart. Hosts gave us recommendations for things to see & restaurants/bars in the area. Also helped us plan our itinerary for the following day in Istria. One night was not enough. Beautiful room & views! Easy to walk everywhere. Would love to return soon!!

    The main issue are the stairs...if you have heavy bags or are not good at navigating somewhat narrow stair cases or are just getting up there in years, make sure you get on the lower floor (s). We were on the top floor, and thought it was a challenge with our bags.

    The location was great, very clean, the staff was very friendly and helped shuttle our bags to and from the parking lot, and it was located in an historical building with a lot of old world charm (Loved the old ceiling beams in the top floor room).

    Great location, great inn keeper ( hired staff !) had the top “suite” under roof ( nothing else available ) , recommend for future the 2nd floor suite , as good of a view and full height throughout, because in pedestrian zone inn keeper picks you up with big golf cart to transport you snd luggage from parking area to hotel

    Nothing, it was exactly as expected.

    A beautiful apartment in a very old building, in the old town, above a lovely restaurant in a busy harbour with stunning sea views. The ladies running it were so helpful and friendly and transported our luggage for us when we rang to say we’d arrived. It was clean, spacious, beautifully furnished with a well equipped small kitchen if you needed to cook. Sofa bed was handy in the living room. Balcony overlooking the harbour with table and chairs. Great place to sit and watch the world go by! Right at the heart of the town with many restaurants on your doorstep and boat trips. Shutters on windows meant you could shut out the noise if you were wanting to sleep before the outside activity had stopped.

    I do not have a criticism.

    The location was superb- We had the top floor apartment, while the windows are smaller than conventional windows they open and the view is of the sea front promenade, harbor- delightful people watching yet still very quiet at night. Our hosts were very pleasant and extremely helpful with all of our questions and provided exceptional service in aiding of the parking our vehicle- Since all of old town is car free- they made our car parking challenges evaporate with their insight and compassion.

    The waterheater was small and would run out of hot water quickly. We prefer bars of soap rather than soap dispensers of body wash. We would have enjoyed a better view from the room. Being a person who enjoys coffee, only being allowed one free cup at breakfast was not good for me; however, the coffee maker in the room worked wonderfully.

    We had a large, heavy number of luggage and both Petra abd Claudia carried our luggage to our room up several flights if stairs. They would not let me do it. They were both amazing, pleasant ladies! They made our stay extra special. The room was comfortable, charming and large. The hotel location was great! The breakfast was wonderful. They gave an overwhelming amount of food that tasted delicious.
