accommodation

 

Hotels, rooms, apartments, and camping are all available. Let us help you find exactly what you're looking for. If there's something you want that you can't find, ask us. We'll check into it for you.

Here are listings for some of our favorite places to stay. Please remember that there are many more accommodation choices than those listed here. These are just a sample.

 

apartments

villa zagora

click for apartments info

In general, accommodation in Istria tends more toward vacation apartments and rooms. Most of the apartments and rooms are very well appointed and spotlessly clean.


Rates vary substantially depending on the time of year. June, July and August are the most expensive months but there are still good rates available. Let us put together a package including accommodation and diving. In the autumn and winter, when rates are much lower, Istria has much to offer visitors including great diving. Contact us for info on some off-season bargain hotel/diving packages. While accommodation is harder to find and more expensive during high season, we can usually scout around and find good rates.

campgrounds

click for campgrounds info

Seaside accommodation without breaking the budget. Bring your own caravan/tent or rent one at the campground. All of the campgrounds have amenities such as markets and caffe/bars along with watersports and recreational activities you'd expect but there are differences. Some campgrounds have more restaurant choices. Others have a wider variety of sports activities. There are several campgrounds in and around Pula. They have better waterfront locations than most of the hotels. Stoja campground is always a good choice. It's on the outskirts of Pula although within the city limits so while it has a wonderful wild feel to it, it's convenient to shopping and downtown nightlife all accessible by bus.

apartments
Villa Zagora is our best recommendation in Pula. The premises are owner-occupied and kept up to the highest standards. You'll feel very welcome here at Villa Zagora, home of Rex the Wonderdog. Relax in your own apartment after a day of diving or diving lessons.

The accommodation you choose can be as simple as a tent and as elaborate as a very comfortable modular cottage within the campground. We can pick you up at the campground to go diving or for diving lessons.

Hotel Pula ( «««)

Hotel Pula was recently extensively renovated . It is open all year and has 172 double rooms and 8 suites. Centrally located with taxi and bus service to all of Pula's historic and entertainment attractions.

The hotel has a beautiful peaceful pool surrounded by tall trees. You'll think you're in a forest. But just take a short stroll through the wooded hotel grounds and you'll find yourself on a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.

Double bed rooms, single beds or two-room apartments, with or without individual balconies and with or without a sea side. All of our rooms feature in room televisions, air-conditioning, safe, totally new furnishings and décor.

It calls itself "the hotel with heart" and it truly is. The staff is wonderfully attentive. They're not owned by a big conglomerate. Feel the difference.

Stylish restaurant and bar on the pool level.

Hotel Galija ( «««)

One of our favorites, Hotel Galija is a family-owned 3-star hotel with 20 luxury rooms and a great chef at the reasonably-priced hotel restaurant. Impressive wine list. Indoor and terrasse dining. Superb service.

It's in the center of Pula within short walking distance of the world's most intact Roman coliseum, the awesome Golden Gate which is a third-century archway entrance to the city, the Roman forum and the Augustus temple. There's lots more to see. The antiquities in Pula are too many to list.

WIFI access free for guests.
