Boutique Hotel Nautica - SPA & wellness, FREE Parking, Pet friendly

The four-star Nautica occupies a converted stone farmhouse on Sv. Anton 15, set among the vineyards of Materada in inland Istria rather than along its coast. Ten minutes by car separates guests from the Novigrad waterfront, making this a base for travellers who want countryside quiet with beach access on demand.

The spa wing includes a sauna and treatment rooms built into the original stone outbuildings, and the property accepts pets without surcharge — unusual for the region's wellness-focused hotels. Free on-site parking suits drivers touring Istria's inland hill towns.
