Hotel Maslina

Beneath the limestone ridge above Materada's inland vineyards, Hotel Maslina occupies 13 Seget, a quiet lane away from the coastal traffic that clogs nearby Novigrad in summer. The Istrian countryside setting suits drivers touring the peninsula's hill towns rather than beach-first travellers.

Rooms open onto olive groves rather than sea view, and the kitchen draws on estate-pressed oil for its own tasting menu. Poreč's harbor lies a twenty-minute drive west, making this a base for wine-road day trips more than seafront lounging.
